    How To Make It Fair with Eve Rodsky

    Feel like you do everything at home, or at least more than is your fair share? This one’s for you. Steph speaks with Eve Rodsky - Harvard-grad lawyer, activist and New York Times Bestselling author of Fair Play.   Eve is working to change society one partnership at a time by coming up with a new 21st-century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering 2/3 or more of the unpaid domestic work and childcare for their homes and families. Eve and Steph talk about the massive impact this has not only on relationships, with couples everywhere hissing and resentful while trying to navigate this, but also the workplace, the pay gap, and our mental and physical health. They also talk about what’s in it for men to get more involved, and how do you bring them to the table.   Eve’s book Fair Play Find out more about the Fair Play system Eve’s Instagram Steph’s Instagram Thoughtful gifts at Don’t Buy Her Flowers   This episode is sponsored by gift experience website The Indytute Hosted on Acast.

    How Not to Let Having Kids Ruin Your Sex Life with Dr Karen Gurney

    Ahead of the release of her new book, Clinical Psychologist Dr Karen Gurney returns to the DBHF podcast after her previous episode about sex in long term relationships became the most downloaded to date, resulting in at least two pregnancies (that we know of!) and Steph received hundreds of messages from women and couples that felt huge relief in what Karen said about desire in long term relationships.   Now Karen, AKA The Sex Doctor, has written a book specifically for parents - How Not to Let Having Kids Ruin Your Sex Life - out in April 2024. Steph and Karen talk about how tiredness, distraction, lack of time and the mental load affect sex lives, and Karen describes the ‘storm’ that children often bring to a relationship. They talk about the different impacts of new babies, primary school age kids and teens. Karen and Steph also discuss spontaneous vs responsive desire and the idea that it is normal to never feel spontaneous desire in a long term relationship. Karen also explains how key it is to understand the different role sex plays for individuals, communicating better about sex, and offers advice and practical ways to maintain (or bring back) sexual connection, particularly when there is no time.     Karen’s first episode on the DBHF podcast on Apple or Spotify   Karen’s Instagram   How Not to Let Having Kids Ruin Your Sex Life, out in April 2024 and available to pre-order now   Karen’s first book Mind the Gap    Eve Rodsky’s book FairPlay   Darcy Lockman’s book All the rage: Mothers, Fathers and the myth of equal partnership   Steph’s Instagram   Thoughtful gifts www.dontbuyherflowers.com   This episode is sponsored by Ancient + Brave, a new generation of sustainably sourced collagen, blends and supplements with targeted health benefits.

    Midlife Wisdom, Careers and Parenthood with Fi Glover and Jane Garvey

    Steph chats with broadcast LEGENDS Fi Glover and Jane Garvey about their move after thirty years (each!) from the BBC to Times Radio, where they host a radio show and the Off Air podcast.    Fi and Jane describe how they found juggling a broadcast career with small children, with Fi owning that hers ‘ground to a halt’ for a period, but that she now has a job she loves that may not have been where she’d have ended up without the career break. They discuss phones, teenagers, teenagers with phones, the impact of Perimenopause, Tweakments and what advice they’d give to their 35 year old selves. Most of all, they offer HOPE to women in the rush hour feeling overwhelmed - there is good stuff to come in the future.    Thank you to sponsors Ancient & Brave, a new generation of sustainably sourced collagen, blends and supplements.

    How to Be Sad with Helen Russell (re-release)

    In this episode we're looking back at a brilliant episode with Helen from January 2022... Steph talks with bestselling author, journalist and speaker Helen Russell about how and why so many of us try to bury sadness, and the harm that causes. After eight years of researching happiness, Helen realised that most of us desperately want to avoid sadness, but all the experts have said we can’t, so we need to work out how to be sad, better. Helen and Steph talk about grief, infertility, perfectionism, anorexia, men and sadness, and a whole lot in between.  Helen’s website Helen’s Instagram Steph’s Instagram Hosted on Acast.
