In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, we sit down with Trish, a Scottish-born film editor now based in New Jersey, working out of New York City. From growing up as the youngest of five in a strict Catholic family in Paisley, to building a celebrated career editing TV commercials and films — Trish's journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and refusing to give up.Trish opens up about getting pregnant at 18, giving her son up for adoption, and the shame and silence that surrounded it all. Raised in a deeply Catholic household where these things were never spoken about, she carried that weight largely alone — and channelled it into an unstoppable drive to prove herself. She left Scotland, worked her way through London and Italy, and eventually landed in New York, where she finally felt at home.She talks candidly about building a career as one of the few female editors in New York, raising a family without any support network nearby, and navigating the relentless hustle of the industry. She also shares the joy of reconnecting with her son years later, her breast cancer diagnosis and what it taught her about letting go, and the film script she wrote during the pandemic about her own life story.Trish leaves us with the wisdom she wishes she'd had earlier: "This too shall pass." "Sometimes the best decision is no decision at all." And her firm belief that when you stop holding on too tightly, life has a way of working itself out.Follow Trish on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/trishmfuller/ and follow her film project at @birdsthemovieJoin the revolution of Scotland's Women, a podcast celebrating the voices and experiences of women from all across Scotland.

What does it take to leave everything behind and build a life on your own terms?In this episode, we sit down with Trish — a Paisley girl turned award-winning film editor based in New York — for one of the most raw and honest conversations we've had on the podcast.Growing up the youngest of five in a big Catholic family, Trish never felt like she fitted the mould. She struggled academically, clashed with her dad, and at 18 faced a decision that would shape the rest of her life. A decision she kept secret from almost everyone she knew.What followed was years of chasing — across countries, industries, and versions of herself — driven by something she couldn't quite name at the time. From a runner's job in Soho to editing rooms in Italy, from a fresh start in post-9/11 New York to a Super Bowl deadline at 2am during a pandemic, Trish has lived a lot of life. She talks candidly about what it means to make it as a woman in a male-dominated industry, the moment a health scare forced her to reassess everything, and how she eventually stopped white-knuckling her career — and started trusting the process instead.She also shares an update on a chapter of her life she thought might stay closed forever. And it's a good one. If you've ever felt like you were running towards something without knowing exactly what — this episode is for you.Follow Trish on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/trishmfuller/and follow her film project at @birdsthemovieJoin the revolution of Scotland's Women, a podcast celebrating the voices and experiences of women from all across Scotland.

In this episode, we sit down with Renee, the witch and coach behind Sagittarian Tarot and Coaching, for a deeply honest an empowering conversation about finding your inner power — and why it took turning 40 and moving to Scotland to unlock it.Renee grew up in a small, isolated town in eastern Washington state, surrounded by Baptist churches and Mormon communities. Despite always feeling spiritually curious, she spent decades searching for belonging through traditional religion — first in a liberal Christian church, then the Baha'i Faith — before a chance encounter with a news podcast in Glasgow in 2018 changed everything. That episode, about the rise of modern witchcraft, planted a seed that would transform her life.But Renee's journey wasn't a straight line. She navigated a painful divorce, the loss of her mother to brain cancer, depression, and losing her teaching job — all during her Saturn return. Rather than collapsing, she sold everything and moved to Taiwan, where she met her now-husband of nearly 15 years. Life then took them from Hawaii to Scotland, where Renee finally found her home — and her calling.Renee is quick to challenge the Harry Potter image of witchcraft. For her, magic isn't about spells and cauldrons — it's about inner work. Meditation, journaling, shadow work, and learning to trust your own intuition are at the heart of her practice. She describes how witchcraft gave her the courage to stop settling for "fine," start her own business, and step fully into herself. We also explore the bigger picture: why women's power has been suppressed for centuries, from the witch trials right here in Scotland to the fact that women couldn't hold their own credit cards until just decades ago. Renee makes the case that empowering women to love themselves isn't selfish — it's how we build a more caring, connected society for everyone.Whether you're curious about witchcraft or simply looking for permission to trust yourself more, this episode is for you.Do you want to bring more empowering magical energy into your life?

What if the key to transforming your life had been available to you all along — and you just hadn't given yourself permission to access it?Tarot Reader and Spiritual Coach Renee shares a deeply personal story: a time when her self-talk was relentlessly critical, when she'd convinced herself that a "fine" life was all she deserved. That changed when she stumbled across a podcast episode about the rise of modern witchcraft — and nothing has been the same since.Renee opens up about how she went from self-described "logical, rational person" to a practicing witch, and the exact moment the seed was planted (spoiler: her husband saw it coming). She reflects on how witchcraft helped her recognise that she was the one keeping herself stuck, and why seeing it through the lens of authors, professors, and intellectuals was the gateway she needed. At the heart of it all is a simple but radical idea: the power of intention, energy, and deciding you deserve better.The full episode drops soon.

What if the person you love collapsed right in front of you—and you froze? What if being a woman meant you were 27% less likely to receive life-saving CPR in your most desperate moment? This episode confronts reality that First Aid Matters.Scotland's Women chats with Lyndsey from Mini First Aid Edinburgh and the Lothians, who knows firsthand the terror of watching someone you love unable to breathe. When her husband choked on pizza in their garden, she became the only thing standing between him and tragedy. That moment changed everything.Now Lyndsey dedicates her life to ensuring others don't face that helplessness. She reveals why nearly half of us have never been trained in first aid, why Scottish children aren't guaranteed this life-saving education (while their counterparts in England and Wales are), and the heartbreaking truth about why women's bodies make bystanders hesitate when seconds matter most.This episode is not about statistics, its about real life and it happens. It's about the teenagers who learn CPR and later find someone collapsed in the street. The parents who rush their choking toddler to the bathroom in embarrassment, alone and terrified. The families who lose someone because no one knew what to do—and the guilt that follows forever. Every minute without CPR, survival chances drop by 10%. Most emergencies happen at home. With the people we love most.This episode is your wake-up call. Because when crisis strikes, doing something—even imperfectly—is infinitely better than the paralysis of doing nothing.Find out more:Follow Lyndsey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/minifirstaidedinburgh/Learn more about Mini First Aid Edinburgh at their website https://www.minifirstaid.co.uk/https://www.redcross.org.uk/first-aidJoin the revolution of Scotland's Women, a podcast celebrating the voices and experiences of women from all across Scotland.

What followed was a grueling journey through weight loss challenges, dietary intolerances, two rounds of IVF, life-threatening ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and a divorce that happened while her embryo waited in the freezer.Despite facing a 50% chance of pregnancy and only 40% chance of a birth, HC made the courageous decision to continue as a solo parent. Her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the fierce determination of those who fight for motherhood.

"You're too fat to have a child. Go away and sort it out."Those words from a doctor could have ended HC Parker's dream of motherhood. Instead, they sparked an extraordinary journey that would test every limit of her strength and determination. Diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 20 and endometriosis at 30, HC was told children were unlikely. What followed was years of navigating a broken medical system, discovering hidden food intolerances that were sabotaging her fertility, and enduring the physical agony of a disease that left her bleeding through clothes at work and stranded on the couch in pain.Then came IVF—not once, but twice. The hormone injections. The life-threatening ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome that landed her five minutes from ICU. The heartbreak of a failed first round. And just when a viable embryo finally made it to the freezer, her marriage fell apart. Facing the biggest decision of her life, HC chose to go it alone. She fought through legal battles, rebuilt her body from medical menopause, and gave that frozen embryo the chance it deserved. Against 50% odds of surviving to pregnancy and 40% odds of making it to birth, a miracle happened.Today, HC is a proud solo mum and a fierce advocate for women navigating fertility struggles. Her story is raw, honest, and told with the kind of humour that only comes from someone who's been through hell and come out laughing.Fighting for Motherhood - Because every woman deserves to know she's not alone in this fight.Scotland's Women: Our Lives, Our StoriesEpisode coming soon.Follow HC: https://www.instagram.com/hcactivewomanfitness/Contact HC: https://hc-active-woman-fitnessPurchase HC Parker Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/IVF-My-Journey-Hc-Parker/dp/1068386002Join the revolution of Scotland's Women, a podcast celebrating the voices and experiences of women from all across Scotland.

In this special episode, we sit down with Hazel Somerville from NHS Forth Valley, Gender-Based Violence & Sexual Assault Service Lead for the SARCS centre in Larbert, to discuss a vital service that could save lives' to 'a vital service supporting anyone who has experienced rape or sexual assault - yet too many people still don't know it exists.SARCS (Sexual Assault Response and Coordination Service) is a dedicated NHS sexual assault service available across Scotland, providing compassionate, trauma-informed care for survivors of rape and sexual assault. Hazel takes us through the journey of how SARCS came to Scotland in 2019, transforming care from police stations to safe, health-led environments designed to support survivors at their most vulnerable.In this powerful conversation, we explore the groundbreaking introduction of self-referral in 2022, giving survivors choice and control over their journey.

We discuss the stark reality that one in three women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime, and why breaking the silence and having open conversations about sexual violence is crucial.Hazel shares how survivors are put at the centre of their care, with choices about examiners, timing, and whether to report to police, and the importance of bringing a trusted friend or relative for support for those who wishes to. She reveals how the service has evolved by listening to survivors with lived experience, and shares the emotional reality of walking alongside survivors through their darkest moments and witnessing their journey toward healing. This isn't just about medical examinations - it's about restoring dignity, power, and hope.SARCS is available 24/7 across Scotland as a free and confidential service.

If we don't speak highly of ourselves, how can we expect other people to? Know your Value. Scotland's Women chats to Julie Cullen, an experienced coach who transitioned from a long career in engineering and corporate leadership to helping women navigate professional and personal change.

And how many of her clients come to her not necessarily lacking confidence, but struggling with doubts about their abilities. Julie shares her five-step coaching framework with us, which begins with understanding a client’s goals and the obstacles holding them back, and then works to shift mindsets and behaviours to achieve meaningful progress.The importance of recognising one’s own value is important, especially in environments where women may feel overlooked or hesitant to “sell themselves.” Julie emphasis that it's important to accept praise, owning achievements, and reframing negative self-talk.
