Description

<p>Inspired by a recent conversation between&nbsp;Viola Davis&nbsp;and&nbsp;Amy Poehler&nbsp;on&nbsp;<em>Good Hang</em>, Kelly and Louise unpack the frustrating reality that women are still expected to prioritise being desirable over simply being strong. Why does female power still have to be filtered through the male gaze? And what happens when women reject that entirely?</p><br><p>Kelly also brings a new term to the table:&nbsp;<strong>“Alpine Divorce.” </strong> It is certainly a case of&nbsp;<em>what fresh hell is this?</em>&nbsp;They break down what it means, the behaviours behind it, and why it might be a sign to seriously rethink your relationship.&nbsp;Talk of hiking and the ethics around some mountain behaviours get Louise and Kelly reminiscing about their days travelling.&nbsp;Louise shares a 'near miss' story which she says she wouldn't allow to happen today.&nbsp;A story many will identify with for sure.</p><br><p>Finally, the conversation turns to&nbsp;Madonna&nbsp;and the backlash following her appearance at&nbsp;Coachella. From blatant ageism to misogyny, Kelly and&nbsp;Louise discuss why one of the most iconic performers of all time still isn’t given the respect she deserves — and why that says a lot about how society treats women as they age.</p><br><p>On&nbsp;<em>Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet?</em>&nbsp;— a women’s podcast on relationships, culture, health and modern life — Kelly and Louise dive into some of the biggest conversations affecting women right now.</p><br><p>Expect strong opinions, cultural commentary, and plenty of moments that will have you questioning the norms we’ve all been told to accept.</p><br><p><strong>Get in touch!</strong></p><br><p>Don't forget to send your thoughts or suggestions for the podcast to <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><br><p>You can sign up to our newsletter: <a href="https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mailchi.mp/6363eddb1650/sign-up-newsletter</a></p><br><p>Find us on Insta, Tik Tok and YouTube<a href="https://www.instagram.com/frozenyoureggsyet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @frozenyoureggsyet</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
