Following International Men’s Day, it was important for us to connect with one of the most valued males in Eliza’s life. Her mentor and friend Steve Spencer. Steve  is surrounded by females in his personal and professional lives; he and his wife, Emma have raised three daughters and he has also practised as a mental health nurse for the last 10+ years. As an advocate for all young people and compassionate living, he continues to break down stigmas and challenge gender roles and it is for these reasons we have been inspired to have him on the podcast to share his journey of living and unlearning.Steve shares with us some of his experiences throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood that have shaped his beliefs and practices around intentional parenting. As well as how he works at his closest friendships with the notion of men supporting mates. The Book Steve mentions during this episode;The Prophet by Kahlil GibranIf you would like to find out more information about the work that Steve does with  EquiEnergy Youth;Instagram - @equienergyyouthhttps://eeyouth.org.au/We hope you got as much out of this as we did.  Please remember to leave a review and subscribe to keep this independent poddy thriving and not just surviving.If you want to see a little behind the scenes, make sure to check us out on instagram @unlearnme.thepodcast.

Welcome back to “Unlearn Me”, a podcast brought to you by Eliza Sellers and Jade Hartigan. In our eighth episode we meet with Sophie Byrne, one half of ‘We Are Changing: Health’.We think it's pretty fair to say that most women have felt powerless, patronised, lost, intimidated, dictated, fragile or fearful when trying to understand and navigate the health system. Likewise, it is evident that women’s health issues have been taboo for far too long. We admire Sophie for her vulnerability and vision for creating a safe space for all women to unite in their shared experience and challenge health stereotypes and empower others to get to know their bodies and advocate for themselves and others. In this episode, Sophie shares with us her own experiences with chronic UTIs and her sister, Emma completing a medical degree, which saw the development of their online platform ‘We Are Changing: Health’.We talk about some of the barriers in accessing appropriate health care and how to minimise these. We explore the power in community and knowing your anatomy and health symptomatology. Have you ever kept your own health journal? Sophie shares with us this killer advice to take control of your health. We discuss the lack of diversity in health and medical research and in legislation. Sophie is passionate about highlighting the need for diverse representation in these areas. If you would like to see and hear more from Sophie, please find her on Instagram, and remember to do some of your own research (knowledge is power!):@wearechanginghealthBook:Period Power - Maisie Hill We hope you got as much out of this as we did.  Please remember to leave a review and subscribe to keep this independent poddy thriving and not just surviving.If you want to see a little behind the scenes, make sure to check us out on instagram @unlearnme.thepodcast.

Welcome to our solo series - 'Unpack That' where we, two raging Leos get to have the stage. Join us as we unpack what we're reading watching or listening to. Everything from pop culture to politics, we will share our commentary on current events and all the topics that have inspired, infuriated or amused us.And we will reflect on what our unlearnings have been for these mystery topics! 2021 has been quite a big year for females in Australian politics from the 'March 4 Justice', where we saw the moving and vulnerable speech from Brittany Higgins. To the release of two documentaries by ABC and SBS, that tell the story of sexism, misogyny and sexual harassment in parliament.   Although women have paved their way and made their mark in politics over the years. To this day, there is still a very real and difficult battle for equality and equity. During this episode we discuss (former) New South Wales Premier, Gladys Berejiklian's resignation and her ongoing  ICAC investigation.  We also reflect on the SBS documentary 'Strong Female Lead', which explores the sexism experienced by Julia Gillard during her time as Australia's first female prime minister. And we consider our own unconscious bias towards gender.While this is not a topic either of us are experts in (we have a Vice Prime Minister, right?) we hope to highlight the power in knowledge and the vulnerability in opening up the conversation. Maybe you learn something with us, maybe you laugh with us, please listen with open minds and reflect on your own experience and knowledge in politics and how you might continue this conversation within your community.  And if you want to see a little behind the scenes, make sure to check us out on instagram @unlearnme.thepodcast.
