Just Between Us

Searching for something?

There's always been this view that women aren't entirely comfortable with power. We deconstruct women in power, how women weild it, and what real power is. Sarah Macdonald and Rebecca Huntley also talk to Jane Caro about powerful women in history. Show Notes This show was hosted by Sarah Macdonald (@sarahvmac) and Rebecca Huntley @rebeccahuntley2.

Thirty years ago a 16 year old country girl Michelle learnt she was pregnant.  She was taken to Sydney to hide away and then give birth to a child. Michelle was in shock and only held her boy for 10 minutes. Thirty years later she speaks out about the calcified pain within and the bright side of the sorrow.  Plus we talk about the joys of being away and what dogs can teach us about life.  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MamamiaPodcastNetwork/ https://www.facebook.com/EmpoweringForcedAdoptionMothers @sarahvmac @rebeccahuntley2

Inspired by Chelsea Clinton's incredible ability to stay calm, composed and polite while being personally attacked we wondered what it was like to grow up in a political family.

Getting off the Treadmill of Life

This week on Just Between Us we talk about the drug now set to be unleashed on American and possibly Australian women.

Plus, what Rebecca listens to while she's having sex, what the Madonna affect has to do with Taylor Swift and a theory about a U bend of cool that we live out in life.   

What the Pink Sex Pill will do to you and Life's U Bend of cool
