Women have been told to “tough it out” for way too long - whether it’s period pain, childbirth, or something more serious. But why is women’s pain so often ignored?

In this episode, Turia chats with journalist and author Anushay Hossain, whose book The Pain Gap dives into the sexism and racism baked into healthcare. They swap personal stories, unpack why doctors don’t always listen, and share practical tips on how to advocate for yourself when you feel dismissed.

For decades, women’s fitness has been shaped by society’s narrow beauty standards. But behind the aerobics classes, running clubs, and Pilates studios is a powerful history of resistance, empowerment, and change.

In this episode, Turia's joined by journalist and author Danielle Friedman, whose book Let’s Get Physical uncovers the untold story of women’s fitness. From Jazzercise to strength training, she explores how movement became a tool for self-expression, confidence, and power - and how the fitness industry has both empowered and exploited women along the way.
