Yes I do and on this and 69th episode international woman’s day. There are so many shit we have to put up with, but on this day, I’m choosing a little fight, or I think big fight of getting more women listening to podcasts did you know statistically more men than women listen to podcasts and it makes me blooming fuming. Because I believe it’s because we still have this in grain need to be busy or look like we’re busy. Otherwise we’re in some way. Failing and listening to a podcast. Oh that’s for other people, or that’s for me time that I just don’t have well. This is rubbish because I truly feel more nourished and happier if I’m doing the washing which I hate please mate, it’s so much better if I’m listening to a podcast I feel like I’m doing it along with friends helping me through or of course if I’m under the car fixing something under the bonnet.
