Tales of Female Badassery

Tales of Female Badassery podcast is brought to you by the Not Sorry Club. (Find us on Instagram @Not.Sorry.Club) We’ve all heard those urban myths; The woman in the meeting that refused to take the notes. Or the guy that asked the woman ‘can you make the tea?’, and she’s the CEO, so...no. Such myths have inspired a generation of women to create boundaries, speak up, be bolder, and live unapologetically. But, for many of us, those stories seem like just that – stories. Fairytales. Myths. The Tales of Female Badassery podcast brings stories of everyday acts of badassery to life, from the voices of women in different parts of the world, different professions, and different journeys. These are women living unapologetically, and are inspiring examples of Female Badassery. As women, we are hungry for such stories of female Badassery. So, the more women share their stories of confidence and boldness, the more real, accessible, and inspiring those stories become for other women and girls. After all, you cannot become what you cannot see, or in our case, you can’t become what you can’t hear about (through this podcast!) A note from the Founder of the Not Sorry Club, Betty Adamou: "This is a podcast I wish I had access to when I was younger, when I was seeking my own voice and trying to set boundaries. I’m thrilled that Series 1 of Tales of Female Badassery is now REAL - from a small seed of an idea, to now have eight episodes of inspiring stories. We hope all women can enjoy this podcast, and feel inspired and empowered to be utterly unapologetic, and raise the next generation of women to never hide themselves. Our mantra at the Not Sorry Club is 'Be Utterly Unapologetic and Do No Harm' - and these stories from 8 different women align with exactly that. Enjoy" Betty Adamou x Please note: while we've tried to keep the language clean, there may be the odd swear word. Parental advisory is advised for listeners under 18 years of age. And while we explore what Female Badassery means to our guests, you might be wondering, what does it mean to us here at the Not Sorry Club? Well, we love a mnemonic - so here goes!

You value your time, and protect your time and mental health through setting boundaries) A ssertive D etermined A uthentic S trong S elf-aware E mpathy (you have empathy and understanding for others) R esilient Y olo attitude!

    S1 - EPISODE 6: with guest JAYNE ODELL - Award-winning Photographer & Founder

    In Episode 6, we speak to yet another multi-award-winning woman; Jayne Odell. (Who, by the way! Is a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society & shares a story of how she got 'in' to this exclusive group of people. There are only 600 fellows in the world. Hint: it was her resilience and that unapologetic badassery we're always talking about!) Join us as we discuss: - Jayne's story of coming out later on in life (through Facebook, no less!) - How camera gear has historically had built-in sexism (see below links for more discussion/facts on this) - Kinship - and what that means in the context of taking on the responsibilities of emotional connection and familial care-taking - The importance of not taking 'no' for an answer - Is it anxiety or excitement? The importance of reflection in times of heightened emotions - Surviving through the pandemic as a self-employed person - And much more!

Sadly we can't find this video! As soon as we do, we'll add it! - The opinions shared by Jayne in this episode are just that; but the notes about photographic equipment being designed historically by men for men is accurate.

    S1 - EPISODE 4: with guest TSHOLO SEMENYA - TV Producer and Content Director

    In Episode 4, we welcome the inspiring Tsholo Semenya, who our podcast host Betty Adamou met four years ago, in beautiful Bali. They were both there as part of an Unsettled co-working retreat (https://beunsettled.co), and met again when Betty spent 1 month travelling around in Tsholo's birthplace of South Africa. They enjoyed eating good food, and seeing the sights in Cape Town together, and have now been brought together again in this deep-dive-of-all-things episode. Tsholo first caught our hosts' attention as an unapologetic badass when she said things like "'No' is a complete sentence", and unbelievably, married herself! (Yes, she really did, and properly had a wedding with a dress and everything, and yes of course we talk about that in this episode) (And yes, we will share a photo of Tsholo in her wedding dress!). Join us as we also talk about... - Unsuccessful sabbaticals - The harsh realities of going after your goals; saying 'yes' to one thing means saying 'no' to something else - Why Tsholo's mum, sister, and grandmother are her sources of badass inspiration - The importance of a 'f*ck you' savings pot of money - The practicalities and commercialised outcomes of making work places as safe spaces - Why we need to be honest with children when we say things like "you can be anything you want" - Quitting her job and starting a new chapter - MARRYING HERSELF (can we stress again how amazing this is?) - Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable - Supporting other women in the workplace, and how we can do that - How Tsholo started her career in media - And so much more! At the end, Tsholo also takes a beat to compliment me, the host. I nearly cried. I've left this in because it's part of the authenticity of this conversation, and it's my journey into unapologetically accepting (and in this case, airing!) the compliment! In this episode, we talk about research that shows that diverse workplace are more commercially successful.
