    Ajustándose al rol de amo de casa a tiempo completo con Pancho López

    Roles de género está definido como esas conductas, trabajos, actividades, comportamientos, etc. que socialmente pertenecen o son adecuados para un género. Aunque mucho ha cambiado, por ejemplo, que el hombre trabaje y la mujer se quede en la casa haciendo las tareas del hogar y cuidando a los niños, aún hay mucho camino que recorrer para retarlos. Pero para Pancho, nuestro invitado de hoy, las circunstancias lo llevaron a que fuera él el "Amo de casa a tiempo completo", como él lo llama. Sintoniza este episodio para una conversación bien nítida sobre el tema y muchas rizas y anécdotas.

    José, mejor conocido como Pancho, actualmente es un amo de casa a tiempo completo. Es Ingeniero Industrial pero su pasión siempre ha sido la creación de videos, y actualmente crea videos semanales de sus aventuras en Francia.

    Normalizing Me and Breast Cancer at work with Glenda Mensah, Paula Flory and Patricia Flores

    Normalizing Me and Breast Cancer at work with Glenda Mensah, Paula Flory and Patricia Flores

    In this episode I sit down with 3 breast cancer survivors that narrate their experiences of going through their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and the important to their state of mind to continue working and how that support of their workplace played a big role in their lives. This panel was part of an event I moderated called "Me and breast cancer at work" as part of a series of events of the WFFC foundation called Pink Notes. 

    Globally, in 2020, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. A survey reveals that 77 percent of working women with breast cancer, including those with metastatic disease, feel that working aids in their recovery.

    The Women in Flavor and Fragrance Commerce, Inc. is a professional association founded in 1982 to provide women in the flavour and fragrance industry a forum for networking, education, career advancement and camaraderie. WFFC strives to educate, engage and empower its members and with Pink Notes looks to provide women in the workplace with the support, advice and education they need. 

    Paula Flory is a WFFC board member, breast cancer survivor and CEO & Founder “Move Over Breast cancer".

    Patricia Florest is a breast cancer survivor and working mother.

    Glenda Mensah is a breast cancer survivor, the co-founder and chairwoman of the WFFC foundation, and currently works as an Account Director for Frallier.

    Normalizando el Feminismo con Blanca Ninwen

    Normalizando el Feminismo con Blanca Ninwen

    Hoy me siento con mi querida amiga Blanca, para hablar sobre un tema que nos apasiona a ambas, el Feminismo. Como mujeres, nuestra imagen, valor, importancia y rol en la sociedad ha sido históricamente marcado por lo que el género masculino ha modelado para nosotras. Por muchos años colectivamente llevamos batallando por la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades, pero aún queda mucho camino por recorrer. Así que aquí, puestas para el lío, como dos mujeres independientes de este siglo, debatimos como vamos rompiendo con estos esquemas y nuestras experiencias. ¡Ojo! No somos expertas ni estudiosas en el tema, pero les aseguro que se sentirán identificadxs con nuestras anécdotas.

    Blanca Ninwen, funambulista de la cuarta pared, fotógrafa, videógrafa, actriz y modelo. Pasional sobre temas sociales y sobre todo, la igualdad de la mujer. También la creadora del cortometraje documental sobre linfedema Acceptance. Trailer disponible aqui.

    Normalising mental health conversations in men with Dr. Louis Akindele

    Normalising mental health conversations in men with Dr. Louis Akindele

    Just in time for Mental Health awareness week in the UK, this week we bring the topic of mental health in men with my friend and Dr. Louis Akindele. 

    Louis, no stranger to anxiety and its effects not only on his patients, but also on himself, sits today with us to talk about his experiences and the events that made him realise he had to take some action. Louis wrote a blog post earlier this year called Love and Anxiety in the times of covid, in which he exposes his personal struggles with anxiety and the physical symptoms that it brought, exposing very openly the physical symptoms most men experience but don't talk about, and would like this subject to be less taboo. With great vulnerability, we talk all about it. I encourage you all to listen to find out what it is ;).

    Louis Akindele is a professional NHS doctor, and an amateur footballer, triathlete with a passion for poetry and writing.

    You can find the blog post here: Love and Anxiety in the times of covid
