25m 45s

In this messy episode we sit down to discuss the (unlikely) collaboration between the climate crisis and mental health with Raj Mariwala who boldly states that they ‘put the mental in mental health’. In this episode we explore how the climate crisis affects different groups in different ways, how the most vulnerable are usually left out of the conversations around solutions and how this climate crisis is not a plot twist. It has been around for ages.

The two of them discuss women being pushed out of birthing and gynaecology, the gender pain gap, navigating difficult times in high level roles, the systemic violence that rains down on our bodies within the medical fraternity and being the most special and magical of rapporteurs.

Also in this episode, Tiff is a part of the problem.

55m 15s

In this messy episode, Tiffany Mugo sits down with Mona Eltahawy to talk about transitioning into menopause, figuring out love and dating and how the medical gender gap is out of control. Having agency and control is something that is hard earned (because sometimes it feels like even your body is fighting you), but the goal is to free yourself. And spend more energy on researching the female body and less on making things hard.
