    Silver Fox or Hairy Old Wench

    Nina humorously yet incisively unpacks the biases that celebrate men's age as a mark of distinction and deride women's age as a decline.
    🦊💔 Tune in as Nina explores the absurdities of "aging gracefully," challenges beauty standards, and champions a world where every wrinkle tells a story of strength, not shame. #EveryShade #AgeismInMedia #NinaTalks #PodcastLife

    The Naked Man on My Bus

    The Naked Man on My Bus

    In this episode, Nina dives into a surprising encounter with a naked man on a London bus, using it as a springboard to discuss our societal desensitization.

    She explores how, bombarded by constant exposure to extreme situations and media oversaturation, we've developed a Teflon coating that allows too much to slide right off us without leaving an impact.

    From ignoring everyday absurdities to becoming numb to serious societal issues, Nina challenges listeners to reflect on what it means to truly see and engage with the world around us.

    Nina questions the normalization of disturbing trends and behaviors, from discrimination and abuse to the overlook of mental health issues. She argues that to make a change, we must first allow ourselves to be affected by what we witness. This episode is a call to peel back the layers of indifference, to find a balance between awareness and action, and to confront the chaos that might one day show up at our own doorsteps.

    Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on "Every Shade" available now on Apple Podcasts and other streaming platforms.
