Peta, Chrissy, and Alicia bring a wealth of expertise to the discussion, offering a thoughtful and informative conversation.

Join us for a candid conversation with sexual health nurse, Barb, a veteran with over two decades in the field, and Peta, the founder of the Women's Health Education Network. This podcast peels back the layers on women's anatomy, shedding light on the misconceptions and myths that have long clouded the truth about female bodies. From the intriguing history of the clitoris, once erased from anatomy books, to the modern-day vanishing act of pubic hair, we explore it all. Barb brings her expertise and humour to discuss the unnecessary and often unregulated market of feminine hygiene products, the unrealistic portrayal of women’s bodies in the media, and the startling lack of knowledge about female anatomy among the general population. Prepare to be educated, entertained, and enlightened as we dissect everything you thought you knew about women's health and reveal the facts that everyone should know. This is not just a podcast; it's a movement to reclaim the narrative around female anatomy, one laugh and one truth at a time. Join us on this journey of discovery and dialogue, where no topic is off-limits, and uncover the beauty and complexity of women's health.

Influence and Exercise: The Social Media Effect

Step into the dynamic world of "Influence and Exercise: The Social Media Effect," a thought-provoking podcast that delves into the intricate relationship between social media, influencers, and exercise through the eyes of Bella, a 17-year-old navigating this interconnected landscape. We embark on a comprehensive exploration of the dual-edged sword social media represents in shaping exercise habits and perceptions. From the pressures of adhering to aesthetic standards—right down to the perfect drink bottle and attire—to the profound impact of positive role models online, this podcast uncovers the nuanced ways social media can both hinder and enhance our motivation to stay active.

We tackle the critical question: Are we exercising for health or merely to fit a certain image? Bella's insights offer a fresh perspective on how young people today are influenced by the digital world's omnipresent standards. With a balanced approach, we delve into the positive effects of social media, highlighting how inspirational figures can genuinely encourage healthier lifestyles and foster a supportive fitness community.

Moreover, we address the often overlooked negative aspects, such as the daunting experience many face in school physical education, where the ritual of being the last one picked can leave lasting scars on one's self-esteem and relationship with exercise. This podcast isn't just about the challenges; it's a journey to understand how setting boundaries and seeking accurate information can lead to a healthier, more informed approach to fitness.

Join us for this crucial conversation about finding balance in a digital age that often values appearance over well-being. Listen in as we dissect, discuss, and discover the complex interplay between social media influences and our exercise routines, guided by Bella's authentic and insightful experiences.
