Raising children has never been simple, but today's parents are navigating challenges that previous generations could have never imagined. In this thought provoking episode, we explore what it means to parent in a world where smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence, and endless digital content are becoming part of childhood earlier than ever before.
Joined by three expert guests, host Maxine, unpacks some of the biggest concerns facing families today.
Dr Tasha Attard, a mum of 2, a behavioural analyst, and the owner of the bridge by BxConsultancy,
Dr Lucianne Zammit, a mum of 2, a lecturer in Ethics education at the University of Malta, with a PHD in promoting the responsible use of technology in schools.
Dr Erika Galea, a mum of 2, a cognitive and developmental psychologist. She is a lecturer within the department of Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Malta. Dr Erika is the founder of the Educational Neuroscience Hub Europe and the co author of the book called 'Teaching Generation Alpha in the Classroom’.
Together and from the pov of mothers, we discuss the growing pressure parents feel when their child is one of the few without a smartphone, and the guilt and self-doubt that can arise when it seems like ‘everyone else's child’ is already connected online.
The conversation dives into the impact of social media use at a young age, the rise of YouTube Shorts and other short-form content, and what emerging research suggests about attention spans, brain development, emotional regulation, and social skills. We also explore the growing phenomenon of AI companions and digital relationships, asking what this could mean for children's development and future connections. We have incredibly difficult but extremely important discussions about declining mental health among young people and how in some unbearably tragic cases, how this has led to suicide.
We also speak about the vital role of digital literacy helping children not only stay safe online but also how they can become critical thinkers, using technology responsibly.
Most importantly, this episode ends with hope. Our guests share practical advice, reassurance, and empowering strategies for parents who are trying to find the right balance in an increasingly digital world.
Whether you're already facing requests for a smartphone or simply wondering how to prepare your child for the online world, this conversation offers valuable insights, expert guidance, and a reminder that no parent needs to navigate these challenges alone.

ADHD remains a largely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed condition. Despite growing awareness, chronic underdiagnosis has historically hindered millions from getting support.
Recent years however, have seen a surge in adult diagnoses. ADHD diagnoses in women aged 23–49 nearly DOUBLED between 2020 and 2022, with 50% of adult women diagnosed with ADHD received their diagnosis in adulthood, often after an average 5-year delay compared to men. Women are significantly more prone to misdiagnoses due to frequently masking their struggles.
Three well-known personalities join Trudy for this show to share their own journeys and experiences - the positive, and the very real challenges. Demaris Agius is a much loved content creator and advocate for ADHD, having received her ADHD diagnosis three years ago. Makenda is a Maltese resident, French national model, events producer and brand strategist who first spoke about her ADHD journey on The SHE Word over two years ago. Dr Chiara Frendo Balzan is one of Malta’s most well known Gynaecologists who recently spoke openly at The SHE Talks about her challenges with undiagnosed ADHD through childhood and her journey to become a doctor.
These women speak openly about being misunderstood, the feeling of failure, the loneliness that can come from isolation that is associated with ADHD. But the three guests so clearly instantly bond over their common bond, finishing each other’s sentences and nodding at the mention of the traits that define the condition, encouraging each other and referencing the Spiderman Meme that so aptly describes the connection between three women from different nationalities, different backgrounds, but instantly connected.
The group also address that whilst social media has helped reduce stigma, it has also led to concerns over the self-diagnosis of common, everyday struggles. Demaris also addresses the impact of digital devices on ADHD men and women, and the significance of screen time in children and the link to childhood ADHD symptoms
This show is heartfelt, positive and informative. If you have considered that you might have ADHD, this is the show for you. If you have ever used the phrase ‘I have undiagnosed ADHD’, this is the show for you. If you have a friend or family member with ADHD, this is the show for you. If you are just curious or want to be more informed, this is the show for you!

Domestic Violence affects one in three women in their life time. Let that sink in for a moment, one in three women will experience physical, emotional, mental, financial or sexual abuse from an intimate partner, a parent, a sibling or someone else within the home. But, there is life after DV as Pearl Vella-Harber so publicly demonstrated; there can be courage and closure after abuse.
The SHE Word dives into this topic for a third time as Trudy sits down with Pearl Vella Haber, Nancy Abela and Elaine Compagno to take a look at various stages of surviving and overcoming DV, from the acknowledgement of violence and calling it out for what it is, to planning an exit. From sitting with grief and anger, to building a new and complete life.
Pearl shares the impact of her own experiences of manipulation, isolation, name calling and threats that shaped her childhood and early adult life; the turning point that helped her build her life again, as well as the breaking point that lead to her taking a stand and facing her perpetrators.
Trauma therapist Nancy Abela not only shares her own personal story but the journey that lead her to become and Trauma Therapist, specialising in Narcissistic abuse and how she helps other women as they navigate the after effects of DV and the therapeutic process the will guide them to a full and free life.
Elaine is back on her second appearance talking about DV, the sometimes unexpected fall out of recovery, and to offer personal account as well as practical advice.
This show is so much more than a podcast, this episode is a source of powerful encouragement and inspiration for ALL women. Watch and be seen, be empowered, and be educated.

Miriana Conte is the fantastically flamboyant and often outrageous personality behind one of Malta’s most controversial Eurovision entries, which had gone viral all over the world even before she had won the national competition.
‘Serving Kant’ caused outcry in the UK particularly due to the play on words with Britain’s rudest swear word. English Eurovision host and BBC Radio presenter Scott Mills said on his radio show just before the song contest "We can't talk about Malta's one at all. We definitely can't play a clip of it... ever, on the BBC.”
The song also caused a significant stir here at home, with Miriana receiving overwhelming hate comments attacking her on her style, her song, her figure and her family.
But behind the public persona is a shy, wise, humble and incredibly likeable young women who is an outstanding vocalist and song writer. In this edition of SHE WARRIORS, Trudy sits down with Miriana for a deep dive into her image, ambitions, challenges, her battles, and the source of her self belief.
The two women take the conversation through the journey of Serving Kant and how this epic anthem was born; the inspiration, the response, the encouragement and the outrage.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the struggles she has faced with eating disorders, the pain and desperation she experienced as well as sharing the details of her long recovery to health. She touches on her battle with PCOS, also touches on the damaging relationship that could have ended her dream - and the people around her that cheered her to make it happen against all odds.
Miriana also delves into the hate comments that attacked her personally, as well as her family, from the Maltese population, the haters and the trollers. She shares her thoughts behind her recent response to one body shaming comment from a well known fitness influencer ‘Keep my name out of your mouth because you don’t know what I have been through’; a powerful message that resonated with women across the country.
This edition of SHE WARRIORS is a edgy, funny, honest, moving and inspiring look into the life of one of Malta’s most recognisable icons.

In the first quarter of 2026 three headlines hit the news ad sparked outrage; CNN published an investigation into a website who’s content included an ‘academy’ that not only instructed men on how to dr*g and r*pe their wives and partners, but also published the footage of these crimes - the website received over 62 million views alone.
The UK government introduced new legislation to site public sexual harassment is a standalone criminal offense following research that indicates that 86% of young women (aged 18–24) in the UK have experienced sexual harassment in public spaces.
And lastly fifty-two cases of r*pe of women were reported to the police in Malta last year, statistically a case a day. But most data indicates that around 80-90% of incidents go unreported, with factors such as shame, fear of not being believed, and fear of retaliation preventing victims from reporting.
All three headlines brought long overdue attention to the crisis of SA and SH, with both men and women speaking out and calling for change but what happens when the algorithm moves on, what happens to the outcry, and most importantly what happens to the women left to face the often long lasting effects of harassment or assault.
In this hard hitting, openly honest and occasionally uncomfortable episode Trudy sits down with Beatboxer, songwriter and mindset coach Dana McKeon, empowerment coach Mei Berrit and Counselling Psychology Practitioner from Richmond Marie Noelle Lanzon to share personal experiences, delve into the impact of their experiences - physically emotionally, mentally and relationally - and talk through the topic with a focus on healing.
The conversation also looks at why perpetrators do what they do, the sliding scale of inappropriate and harmful behaviour, the culture of shame, and what we can do to change the attitude towards harmful behaviour and make a safer environment.
With 1 in 3 women experiencing SA and 85% of young women affected by SH, even if you haven’t personally been affected by the topic, someone close to you - someone you love has.

Despite recently being awarded ‘The Most Remarkable Woman’ at the Mara Awards, Daniela Calleja Bitar is an extraordinarily private person, you will be hard pressed to find out anything about Daniela online. However, as the CEO of the Richmond Foundation, Daniela has dedicated her life to making change in the field of mental health and in doing so, affecting thousands of men and women.
In this down to earth SHE Warriors interview Dan sits down with Trudy to share her journey working in the area of mental health. Daniela reflects on her first interview with the Richmond Foundation 25 years ago to today where she and her team have been ‘silently vocal’ over the past two and a half decades to change the perception of mental health and the support provided.
Daniela dives into how conversations surrounding mental illness have changed from the first Xarabank discussion addressing mental health challenges that was originally intended to have guests speak about their illnesses with blacked out faces and masked voices, to the benchmark of COVID which forced society to face the topic of mental health face on and speak more freely about the issues faced.
Trudy also delves into the emergence of Social Media and asks about the long term impact that this new era of reality merging with a virtual life. Daniela outline the impact that today’s lifestyle is having on all of us, but particularly young people.
The conversation steers towards the most vulnerable groups including young men and teenagers, with guidelines for what we need to look out for in our loved ones, and ourselves, for early detection of developing mental help issues. The episode also explores the origins of Daniela strong sense of purpose, the strength of the team around her, and the key support network that she draws on to sustain her when the challenges of the role push hard.
This interview is not just the story of one woman’s dedication to changing the landscape of mental health and her drive to making lasting change across the country, it is also testament to those facing challenges and the incredible teams dedicated to improving the lives of the 1 in 3 of us who will face a mental health issue at some point in our lives.
Many thanks to Brown's, Hyatt Regency and Intimissimi who make these conversations possible.

Financial independence and security is a topic that I would suggest we ALL find hard to discuss. Talking about money is often an uncomfortable conversation, let alone discussing scams, investments and our financial security. However, finances and financial health is a topic that affects every single one of us in one way or another. For women particularly, financial security is crucial; over 70% of women are in employment but over 64% of women are also mothers, presenting the ‘career break challenge’ and the financial challenges that are associated with balancing both aspects of life.
In this special edition of The SHE Word, Trudy sits down with three women from the MFSA to discuss two main areas of financial health that are particularly topical right now.
Firstly Adelina Andreea Nechita from the MFSA Enforcement team tackles the topic of scams with Trudy. Scammers and scamming has become big business and is now a multi-billion Euro global illegal industry. Scamming is a high-tech, high turnover enterprise with one goal; to convince us to part with our money - using a variety of well practiced and effective tactics. None of us are immune to scammers, and with the rise of AI, these criminal networks have become even more convincing. Adelina and the guests share guidelines and tips to be able to spot a scammer in action, how to avoid loosing out and what to do if we are trapped by a scammer.
Following up from Adelina, Lorraine Vella from the MFSA addresses financial security before guiding the conversation through the topic of investments and financial futures. Breaking down the terms Capital Markets, Bonds, Stocks and Shares, Lorraine walks through the different investment options, the risks and rewards, and they ‘what you need to know’ before launching into an investment plan. Lorraine also guides SHE-Worders through the do’s and absolute donts of investing and cutting through the jargon and help viewers gain the confidence to navigate today’s financial markets.
Bring the conversation full circle, Sarah Pulis from the MFSA leads the topic of general good financial health with tangible tips and helpful hacks that we can all take away and start applying immediately to help us on a journey to better financial freedom and independence.
Wherever you are on your financial journey, however ‘healthy’, whatever your age - this show is the episode you didn’t know you needed. Full of practical application and insight, this conversation has something for everyone.

Ever thought to yourself ‘I wish I had known that before’ or ‘I would love to go back and tell my younger self that’? Well, over the course of the past three and a half years on The SHE Word we have heard some very wise words from women who know; who have often learned the hard way. SHE-WORDERS - our listeners and viewers have also shared their own experiences with us, and together we have curated a goldmine of wisdom and experiences that are real game changers.
In this episode host Trudy Kerr sits down with three women who are no stranger to The SHE Word to look at ’10 Essentials That Every Woman Should Know’, and this episode’s guests are three women who don’t hold back in coming forward with what needs to be said. Dez Zahra is a relative new comer to TSW but in a recent show Dez shared her thoughts on relationships and why so often we get things very wrong, Denise Kim Gafa is back with her absolute honesty and insight into the essentials she has learned and the mistakes she has made along the way. Long term friend of TSW Sue Caruana joins too to bring her wisdom from her colourful life long experiences with her unmistakable no-mess delivery.
The result is a powerful show looking at topics such as ‘the power of saying NO’, The value of our gut instincts, why our own standards are important, getting your bra size right, financial independence, empowering each other as women, frying an egg and so much more.
The show is witty, honest and at times brutal. This episode is littered with Golden Nuggets gleaned from life lessons, both good and bad, and we can guarantee that there is something here for every woman. Whether you agree, feel seen and validated, disagree or if this discussion makes you rethink some of your preconceptions, you are going to love this honest conversation.
Of course, we would never be able to fit every essential into one podcast, so please do share your thoughts in the comments below, because we are pretty sure we will be coming back with a part two to this incredibly important topic!

In this episode of the Young Women’s Edition, host Sasha Vella opens a candid conversation about beauty competitions, beauty standards, and the impact and real-life experiences behind taking part in beauty pageants.
While pageants are often associated with success, glamour and achievement, research paints a more complex picture. Industry data suggests that many pageant participants experience body image concerns during the course of competing.
Rather than debating whether pageants are good or bad, this episode centres the human experience behind them: the pressure, the discipline required, the sheer excitement, the responsibility of representing your own country on such international stages, and the dedication needed to succeed.
Joining Sasha are three women who have competed at national and international level: Julia Ann Cluett, who is the reigning Miss Universe Malta, Miss Universe Europe and Middle East, and psychology graduate and assistant, Ella Gatt Baldacchino, who is Miss Universe Malta 2023, a compliance analyst, and a vocal advocate for body positivity, who speaks openly about living with body dysmorphia and how it has intersected with pageantry, and Shailey Micallef, model and Miss Grand International Malta, with a background in fashion, pageantry and a Master’s in Accountancy.
An honest, grounded conversation that looks beyond titles and crowns to explore self-worth, body image and what it really means to be competing at these levels.

Here at The SHE Word we have discussed SO MANY topics which impact mums - especially in the early years of motherhood and this topic is another issue which so many mums face - the change in relationship with your partner after becoming parents.
In this episode the four mums at the table sit down to discuss the changes that take place after bringing a baby home (and baby 2 and baby 3!) and the challenges that they were not (or least) expecting.
Sitting down to discuss this topic with host Nerissa Mass are influencers Raisa Brincat Newell (known as ‘mytrio123’), Olivia Saliba Cauchi (known as ‘Mummy in a Hurry’) and therapist relationship and Couples & Families systematic therapist Marija Attard. These ladies share real life experiences that they have been through, challenges they have faced and how they overcame them, or are working through them.
The guests also discuss the little ways to keep that spark alive especially in the very early years where time is limited and energy is low. Together the mums explore intimacy, the importance of communication, compromise and prioritising the relationship even after you become a parent.
An honest and open conversation with some laughs along the way; this show will help to normalise this phase in a couples life, but also provide hope that this will not last forever and also some very helpful tips on how to get through and survive those tough early years of parenthood when you are see in the trenches.

Marina Mazepa is an actress, a dancer, a contortionists, a choreographer, a model and an artist. Ukrainian Marina knew as a child that she wanted to be famous, she wanted to perform and be the very best that she could be. As a young women Marina won scholarships, competitions, dance events, and then famously made it through to the semi finals of America’s Got Talent, but just as Marina reached the heights of her early career, Marina packed her bags and headed to Hollywood as a young woman who couldn’t speak English, in a highly competitive industry, taking every break she could get.
In this edition of SHE Warriors Marina shares her story of determination and overcoming every challenge and her own imposter syndrome to chase her dreams and take to the stage and screen to share her talent, passion and drive to perform.
Marina shares how she turned down a residency with the prestigious Cirque Du Soleil to follow her true passion of acting, starting from scratch and knocking on people’s doors to be given an opportunity to act. Thankfully the gamble paid off with big screen and small screen credits including The Unholy, Malignant, The Continental, and Darkness of Man.
Marina also shares how her journey has driven her to soul search and examine her own life in order to play the parts that she has portrayed, to evaluate her own decisions to be able to become the best version of herself.
A beautiful story of a young woman defying expectations and beating the odds to become the artist she wants to be.
