À propos de cet audio

Lucy and Karen, two 40-somethings, are always chatting about life, and all that it has to throw at them, and now want to share their raw, honest conversations with you. Their journey of finding their own voices, self-discovery and healing is something many of us can relate to. We all possess a unique power within us, but life’s trials often knock us off course. They have the tools, the courage to speak up and simply say it as it is, so you might feel seen, and understood and gain practical tools and techniques for self-discovery and personal growth during the changes we experience.

  • The Beckhams: An Example of How We Blame Women And Let Men Off The Hook
    Jan 23 2026

    Send us a text

    Headlines love a villain, and too often she’s a woman. We dive into a high‑profile family feud not to trade gossip, but to trace the pattern beneath it: the siren myth that dumps blame on women while absolving men as heroes or innocents. From crisis PR to school‑gate rumours, we connect the dots between brand narratives, media incentives, and the quiet costs of living inside a story written for public consumption.

    We talk about:
    • historic and royal parallels that scapegoat women
    • weddings as flashpoints for older unresolved conflicts
    • personal stories of gossip, trolling and reputational harm
    • the cost of image management and crisis PR cycles
    • sovereignty, values, and holding firm boundaries
    • calling men into accountability without vilifying women
    • practical ways to opt out of gossip and choose discernment

    Drawing on years in PR and decades coaching clients through change, we explore how image management hardens into control, how weddings become flashpoints for long‑brewing tensions, and why setting limits in adulthood can look like betrayal when a legacy brand expects constant compliance. Along the way, we map the historical lineage from Yoko Ono to Wallis Simpson to modern royals, showing how institutions survive by scapegoating women and smoothing men’s agency out of the frame.

    This conversation is practical as well as cultural. We share tools for resisting the rumour mill: verify before you share, ventilate in trusted spaces, and step back from threads designed to inflame. We talk sovereignty, values, and what it means to say no without shouting. We name the emotional toll of trolling and the double standards around women’s bodies, menopause, and leadership. And we come back to accountability, insisting that equality means holding everyone to their choices, not outsourcing responsibility to wives, mothers, or girlfriends.

    If you’re ready to see past the spectacle and choose a kinder, clearer story, press play. Then tell us where you spot the siren myth in your world, share this with a friend who loves thoughtful conversations, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    • Hormonal shifts and growing discernment
    • Leaving high-status roles for meaning
    • Lostness as a portal to the next step
    • Second acts built with intention
    • Relevance traps and overwork patterns
    • Feedback as a compass to identity
    • Navigating noise and finding real educators
    • Parenting phases and evolving purpose
    • Values as decision filters
    • Vision boards, themes and loose plans
    • Following signals and small experiments
    • Grieving old selves and keeping their gifts
    • Owning the wise rebel and setting boundaries
    • Simple practices to reconnect and choose
