Because we don’t become invisible when we reach a certain age! In fact, many of us begin to question our lives and the way things are. This is the women-centred post-menopausal podcast where where women share their stories, experts and specialists share information and knowledge about health, wellbeing, finances, style, diets, and relationships, and where we also look into the unique challenges that older women face in society, because we don’t just disappear when you get to midlife! We’ll be discussing things like the demonisation of older women, the feeling of being invisible, redefining yourself, creating a life that makes you want to leap out of bed in the morning, and the stigma of ageing. I’m so excited to share this with you all, thanks for being part of this journey with me. Don’t forget to like, subscribe and share the podcast. 💕 www.lifeaftermenopause.net

Hot Topic: Racism In Australia Today with Pamela Anderson, CEO of EMILYs List Australia

Wednesday Oct 04, 2023

Australia is coming up to The Voice Referendum and apparently becoming more of a "divided nation" by the day. But why do First Nations people need a special mention in the constitution? Shouldn't the constitution cover them already?

Have you ever tried to explain to someone what sexism is but they just can't see what you're saying? The sexism is so ingrained that it's invisible? What if racism is the same? That it's so deeply ingrained in our culture that we can't see it?

This is a hot topic in Australia at the moment: should our First Nations people have a say in policies and decisions that impact them? Isn't that like saying that it's necessary for women to be involved and consulted in the decisions and policies that impact women?

Yorta Yorta and Gunnai-Kurnai woman, Pamela Anderson, CEO of EMILY's List Australia, explains to us the history of First Nations people after colonisation, how trauma is passed down through the generations and talks about the systemic racism that most white people don't realise is present.
