We’ve all been there - stressed, overwhelmed, running on empty. But what if the way we deal with stress is all wrong?

In this episode, Turia chats with Amelia Nagoski, co-author of Burnout, about why stress gets stuck in our bodies and how to actually release it. They unpack what the stress cycle is, why “just relax” doesn’t work, and simple ways to reset - whether it’s movement, deep breathing, or even a big laugh.

Women have been told to “tough it out” for way too long - whether it’s period pain, childbirth, or something more serious. But why is women’s pain so often ignored?

In this episode, Turia chats with journalist and author Anushay Hossain, whose book The Pain Gap dives into the sexism and racism baked into healthcare. They swap personal stories, unpack why doctors don’t always listen, and share practical tips on how to advocate for yourself when you feel dismissed.

For decades, women’s fitness has been shaped by society’s narrow beauty standards. But behind the aerobics classes, running clubs, and Pilates studios is a powerful history of resistance, empowerment, and change.

In this episode, Turia's joined by journalist and author Danielle Friedman, whose book Let’s Get Physical uncovers the untold story of women’s fitness. From Jazzercise to strength training, she explores how movement became a tool for self-expression, confidence, and power - and how the fitness industry has both empowered and exploited women along the way.

Eve Rodsky is a New York Times best-selling author, mum of three, and the creator of the Fair Play movement, which aims to find a new solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering the majority of the unpaid domestic work and childcare for their home and family.

Eve explains the mental load and society's unsustainable expectations and assumptions made on gender. She tells Turia about her "blueberry breakdown": how a text message from her husband about not buying blueberries left her crying in her car, as she juggled a newborn, and a toddler needing to be picked up from preschool. Eve says it was the moment she realised things needed to change.

In this chat, Eve runs us through her secret formula to rebalance our home life and reclaim our “unicorn time”.
