In this episode, I'm joined by Cat Bohannan, author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution. Cat challenges the traditional “man the hunter” narrative, presenting a compelling case for “women the survivor” as the driving force behind humanity’s success. From the role of childbirth in shaping the human brain to the essential contributions of grandmothers and the evolutionary purpose of the female orgasm, Cat redefines our understanding of human history.
She also dives into intriguing questions you may have never considered: Why do women live longer than men? Why isn’t women’s belly fat actually fat? And why do girls outperform boys in school until puberty? This conversation highlights the unsung contributions of women throughout evolutionary history, offering fresh perspectives on the incredible role of the female body.

In this week’s episode of The Unwind Podcast, we’re thrilled to bring you a live recording from an event I hosted a few months ago with the incredible Sharmadean Reid. Sharmadean, a serial entrepreneur and trailblazer, is back on the podcast to share insights from her powerful new book, New Methods for Women.
Sharmadean is truly an inspiration. She broke through significant barriers as the first Black woman to raise £6 million in venture capital in the UK and has since continued to redefine success for women in business. She began her entrepreneurial journey with the now-infamous WAH Nails and recently founded The Stack, an online women’s community dedicated to providing educational events for advancing in the workplace—both professionally and personally.
A passionate advocate for women, Sharmadean's life is dedicated to empowering others to reach their full potential. In this conversation, we dive into the core lessons from her new book, where she reflects on the past two decades of her life and asks herself, "What did I need to learn to survive and thrive mentally, spiritually, and professionally?" As a Black, single mother launching businesses in an ever-complex world, Sharmadean's perspective is unique, insightful, and deeply impactful.

Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.
As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.

This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

Valentina Milanova joins us in this eye-opening episode, bringing her revolutionary ideas to the forefront of gynaecological health. The founder of Daye, Valentina is on a mission to transform the experience of women dealing with painful periods. She introduces us to safe tampons designed to alleviate period pain by locally administering anti-inflammatory relief in the vaginal area. The efficiency of targeting pain directly makes it a game-changer for those suffering from endometriosis or period pain.
But that's not all – Daye goes beyond with diagnostic tampons. Valentina addresses the critical issue of women neglecting vaginal health screenings, leading to undetected problems. These diagnostic tampons, sent to Daye labs, provide results and connect users with medical professionals. Valentina's platform offers an opportunity to understand and monitor vaginal health, prevent surgery, and even receive prescriptions, creating a cost-effective and time-efficient solution.
Prepare to be shocked as Valentina reveals startling facts about the toxicity of average tampons and the lack of regulations in protecting women's sensitive areas. In this episode, Valentina's insights will leave you pondering and questioning the norms. I admire her for using her voice and intelligence to create safer products for women, and we invite you to join us in this crucial conversation about women's health. Get ready to be enlightened and outraged, knowing that solutions exist – we just need to be aware of them.

On today's podcast, I am joined by Ed Coats, a prominent consultant in reproductive medicine and surgery, currently serving as the medical director of The Evewell, a private fertility clinic in London. With 18 years of experience delivering babies, Ed is passionate about enhancing education and access to fertility preservation and reproductive technology. In our insightful conversation, we delve into the intricacies of egg freezing, an aspect of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) where eggs are preserved in a vault rather than being fertilised and placed back inside the body. As I personally navigate through the egg freezing process, with my own retrieval just 20 hours away, I plan to share my journey in a dedicated episode, reflecting on the profound impact and gratitude I feel for the scientific advancements that empower women to take control of their fertility.
Ed's expertise sheds light on the egg freezing process and the broader landscape of fertility preservation. In a world where information on fertility is often scarce, dedicating episodes to this crucial topic on the Unwind podcast aims to provide valuable insights and education. Exploring fertility in depth has been a source of comfort for me, especially in my 30s, as it allows me to make informed decisions that safeguard my future and brings a sense of peace. While this content may deviate slightly from our usual programming, I hope you find it both useful and valuable.

In today's episode, I am joined by Nikki Armitage-Foy, a renowned performance coach and the visionary founder of Electric Women. Nicky has been the guiding force behind numerous powerful women gracing stages and boardrooms globally.
When Nikki was in her twenties, her well-oiled masculine approach to life was leaving her feeling depleted and feeling as if I she never doing it ‘right’. And as a release she over-ate, over-drank, over-shopped, spent way too much time in her head and felt disconnected from her body. In 2010, she did a visualisation where she ‘met’ her Electric Woman. She had a vision of a woman who emitted peace and power, she ran a successful business and had a full, happy and conscious life that she designed, true to her values. Nikki now supports women to 'meet' their own Electric Woman, to help them design their lives and access their true power.
Today we delve into the behind-the-scenes role that Nikki plays—the secret ingredient in the success stories of many influential women. Join us for an engaging conversation as Nikki Armitage-Foy imparts her perspective on building a successful life and shares valuable insights and practical tools that can guide you on your own journey to personal empowerment.

Today I am joined by Professor John Aitken, who is a global leader in reproductive biology with over four decades of dedicated work. John has made groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionised our understanding of male infertility and paved the way for innovative treatments. He's the author of The Infertility Trap that looks at the long term consequences of declining fertility globally. I read his book earlier this year and was shocked as I turned the pages. Never did I dream that birth rates dropping would be a serious problem, as I just assumed we were overpopulated as it was. John's research opened my eyes to a very real challenge we face, which is how are declining fertility and lifestyle choices will affect us all long term. And why? A very important conversation around this has to happen sooner rather than later if we want to change the direction.
This interview with John was possibly one of the most eye opening chats I've ever had because it speaks to the future in a very personal way, but also macro way. I think it reminds us that we truly are a species that deeply relies on each other. We are so interconnected and the subject of fertility and reproduction does feel very spiritual in many ways and also links in with the psychological links in with our behavior. It's just a very human topic. So I hope you are enjoying this content that feels slightly different from the normal programming on the Unwind podcast. But I wanted to open up to share some of my own personal curiosity at the moment, and I hope you're following the journey and enjoying it too.
