How Do We Manage Living Ethically in a World of Consumption?
Isabel Losada is someone who really puts her money where her mouth is. Having decided to live more ethically, she took herself to task and worked to change every element of her life – from what she wears, to who she banks with, and what she eats. Her book “The Joyful Environmentalist” provides us all with a humorous and, yes, joyful take on how we can all make similar changes to our lives.
She and Stephanie discuss the simple steps we can take to live in ways that support rather than destroy our planet. We learn about how to find real joy in living ethically, how it can help us save money and how to prioritise what really matters to us in life.
In a world where we can feel constantly driven to buy, consume and waste, Isabel is a true inspiration.

How Do We Manage Menopause Without Losing Our Minds?
How much do you know and understand about perimenopause and menopause? It’s a stage of life that will affect each and every one of us – either directly or indirectly, but until a few years ago, was barely spoken about.
Finally that conversation is getting louder – thanks to women like our guest Dr Naomi Potter.
Naomi is a leading menopause expert, the founder of Menopause Care clinic, and co-author with Davina McCall of the bestselling book “Menopausing”.
In this episode she and Stephanie take a deep dive into perimenopause – when it can start, how it manifests, the potential impact on mental health and the weird symptoms it can present. They also discuss everything HRT – from the pros and cons, risks and benefits to alternative options, treatments and therapies. And take a good look at training and education, what needs to change and how families can really support women going through hormonal changes.

How Do We Manage Telling The Truth When It Costs Everything?
Would you speak up if you knew it could risk everything? If you are Dr Eirliani Abdul Rahman, the answer is a resounding “yes”.
Now a Senior Fellow and Collaborative on Global Children's Issues at Georgetown University, Eirliani was a victim of child sex abuse when growing up. But she found the strength to share her story – and give voice to others. She’s the co- founder of YAKIN - (Youths, Adult survivors & Kin In Need), which helps adult survivors of child sexual abuse, co-authored an award-winning book sharing the stories of twelve survivors, and went on to write her own memoir under a pen name.
In 2022 she gained global recognition for resigning from Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council in protest against the rise in hate speech following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform; the council was dissolved four days later by Musk.
Eirliani shares the turning point in her life which led to her vowing to give voice to the voiceless. She explains the trauma of recounting her abuse and telling others’ stories, and why it was all worth it.
And she describes the wave of online hatred she received when she publicly resigned from the Twitter Safety Council – and why she’d still do it all again today.
Content Warning: Strong language and discussions of child sexual abuse and online hate speech.

How Do We Manage The Life After Cancer No One Prepares You For?
Dr Liz O’Riordan is leading the way in getting us talking about cancer. She was 40 and working as a consultant breast surgeon when she herself was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. What she then went through opened her eyes to how women with cancer are treated, and all the things they aren’t told or warned about. She’s now changing the conversation with her books and online presence.
In this episode she and Stephanie discuss how difficult it was to deal with cancer when you have insider knowledge of the potential consequences, all the symptoms she wasn’t expecting and how others can deal with them, the impact of cancer on mental health and sexual relationships, and the joy she’s found in reshaping her career.
Content Warning: Discussions around cancer and sexual health.

How Do We Manage When Motherhood and Ambition Collide?
Having a successful career whilst raising children can sometimes feel like an impossible challenge – but Dolly Jones wants to change that narrative.
Dolly’s a former editor at Vogue, a digital consultant and author of “Leaving the Ladder Down”, a book which encourages us to think differently about working parents – for ourselves, our families and in the workplace.
In this episode of How Do We Manage, Dolly explains why we should appreciate every type of mother and the roles they play – both those at home and at work. She advocates for a culture of speaking openly and honestly about family to employers and colleagues, putting aside mother guilt, accepting the joy of having both a job and a family – and celebrating the everyday wins.
