This Is Awkward - Awkward Conversations with your GP

Awkward Conversations with your GP

07/19/23 • 55 min

This Is Awkward
Many of us having had awkward, embarassing or difficult appointments with our GP and many of us avoid appointments altogether. Kristy and Lyanne chat with Dr Eloise Elphinstone about how to prepare for these appointments to minimise awkwardness, maximise time and get the outcome you're looking for. Your health is your wealth and putting off these appointments not only has a detrimental effect on your health but can also end up adding to the strain on the health service in the long run. So if you have a lump, bump, itch, or are feeling particularly blue, have a listen and get yourself well prepped to boss your next GP appointment.

Difficult Conversations at Work

Join Kristy and Lyanne as they quiz Cate Sevilla, author of How To Work Without Losing Your Mind, on tricky work chats. From pay-rise panic to water-cooler wincing, we cover the conversations that can cause us to get hot under the collar in all the wrong ways. Cate is a font of knowledge and wisdom, after years working at some of the biggest companies in the world - at both ends of the power dynamic.


From socially 'ick' awkwardness to downright distress, we cover it all - so, if you're struggling at work at the moment, take 5 (or 45) and we hope this episode will equip you with some tools to use in your workplace.

Addressing Gender Inequality

In this episode, Lyanne and Kristy talk with gender equality activist and author, Gina Martin. Gina's new book 'No Offence, But...' tackles some of the commonly used phrases that shut down proper debate and critical thinking when it comes to gender 'norms' and provides readers with the tools to gently challenge old tropes. This episode is all killer, no filler as Gina covers a wide range of issues and problematic language, as well as where she feels she has failed in the past and her current inspiration. If you have ever felt cowed into silence at a dinner table, or in a boardroom, when subjected to sexist remarks - give this one a listen. Likewise, if your'e an ally and/or you are interested in equality and intersectional feminism - put your feet up and get your lugholes around this.. Enjoy.
