Adulting 2.0: Ellie Flynn

Season 11, Ep. 2

Hey Podulters! Welcome to Adulting 2.0: The Timelines.


Ellie Flynn is journalist and broadcaster. Her timeline changed when at 27 Ellie got her fertility checked and as a result of the findings made the decision to have a baby earlier than a lot of her peers.


In this episode we discuss motherhood, the pressure surrounding the decision of if and when to have a baby, her work undercover and how this has impacted her as a woman, a broadcaster and a mother of a son.


Please do check out Ellie's documentary on All4, it's called 'Undercover: Sexual Harassment - The Truth'.

  • 2. Let's Talk About... Ozempic

    34:34
    Welcome back for the second episode of Let’s Talk About, a conversation between me and you, about whatever we’re dying to discuss that week.  The idea is, I guess, a broadening of Adulting... where that was about all of the things we never got taught in school, this is almost like seminars on life; where my audience (that's you!), get to chat anonymously about things they couldn't necessarily discuss over lunch with their friends, or feel like they don't have anyone to talk to about whatever it may be.  To get involved, follow me on Instagram @oenone, where every Tuesday we vote on a topic and every Wednesday we dig deep.Let’s Talk About… Skinny being back with the rise in Ozempic use, and feeling the pressure to be thinner.My Substack mentioned in the episode, https://open.substack.com/pub/oenonef/p/on-desire-beauty-and-ozempic?r=1ucxow&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

  • 5. Adulting 2.0: Shelley Syme

    53:15
    Hey Podulters! Welcome to Adulting 2.0: The Timelines.This week I’m talking to Shelley Syme. Shelley’s timeline completely shifted when at the age of 29 she found a lump under her armpit and was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes as well, which led her to make the brave decision to have a mastectomy. We connected online after Shelley wrote a gorgeous poem about her feelings towards her breasts on a post I did for Breast Cancer Awareness month. We talk about finding that life changing lump, reframing your mentality around your body, dating, not wanting children and her love of snooker. I hope you enjoy, and as always please do rate, review and subscribe.
