Summer Series Episode 2: Women over 50 are having a moment - it’s about time!

In episode 2 of our summer series, we discuss the increasing visibility and representation of older women in media, particularly after the Golden Globes earlier this month. How good was Demi Moore’s speech?! We also celebrate the achievements of us ‘normal’ women over 50, and look at some Aussie influencers going viral.  We reflect on the current state of the world, especially the horrific wildfires in LA - and express concerns about cultural shifts and the influence of technology on mental health. Amidst the chaos however, we chat about the importance of finding hope and taking action at a community level. The discussion also delves into nostalgia for the 80s and 90s, contrasting simpler times with today's complexities, particularly regarding technology and parenting!  Mentions:  Golden Globes Awards 2025 - Demi Moore’s win described in Women’s Agenda The Project Channel 10 - Ginger and Carman clip Matt Haig on Instagram  Loryn Brantz on Instagram  In case you missed it - Spotify playlist - The Change 1985 Hosts: Cathy O’Brien https://www.instagram.com/cathy_l_obrien/ Laura Jackel https://www.instagram.com/lauracjackel/ Audio Producer:  Marissa Roberts: https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial/ Thanks for listening to The Change, a fully independent podcast.  We appreciate your support and listens, so if you like what we do please tell your friends and leave a five star review!  Send us a voice message here: ⁠⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-change-pod/message⁠
