Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious - The Big C: Sophie Neary and The Bronte ClinicOne in two people will get cancer. When it comes to health, it’s facts, not fiction, that are important. I know we’ve all been guilty of asking Dr Google if something is ‘normal’. We haven’t talked about women’s cancers yet on Courage is Contagious, so that’s what today is going to be all about. Breast Cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK. The positive news is that nearly 9 in 10 (85%) of women diagnosed with breast cancer in England survive their disease for five years or more compared to only 4 in ten back in the 19...2023-07-2614 min

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious goes Childfree (by choice) - with Sophie Neary and Tai di PauliWe don’t ask women to justify why they have children, so why on earth do we judge or ask women to justify why they don’t. “Who’s going to look after you when you’re older”,”oh that’s because you’re married to your career” ,”oh I bet you’ll change your mind” - are all things people have said to me, many times, when I’ve mentioned that I don’t have children. Of course people aren’t deliberately thoughtless or rude, it’s all tied up in society’s view of the role we women have to play. ...2023-06-1515 min

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious & Competency Bias - are men biologically wired to be cleverer than women, or are they assumed to be more competent?There’s no study I know of that says that men are better lawyers, leaders, doctors, prime ministers or presidents than women. We’re 51% of the population, but we don’t run 51% of countries or companies. Are men really biologically wired to be better? Study after study shows there’s an authority gap between men and women. Men are assumed to be competent, whereas we women have to prove it. This silent questioning of our competency can also impact our mental health, our stress levels, create imposter syndrome…. Tune in now as Sophie Neary talks competency bia...2023-02-1616 min

The pressure for women to be perfect is cited as the leading cause of anxiety amongst us - we have to have the perfect job, and the perfect family and also look perfect all of the time. And the consequences are omnipresent. With one in five women suffering from ‘common mental disorders’ such as depression or anxiety in any given week. (That’s compared to one...2023-01-1818 min

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious chats Bloody Good Periods - with Sophie NearyMind your bloody language! Half of the world’s population does, has or will have a period, but we spend most of our lives pretending or hiding that we do. Even when we do talk about it, we use silly names “Aunty Flo”. “Time of the Month”, “Red Wedding” - we’re made to feel so ashamed about something so natural that there are over 5,000 slang terms for ‘period’. Generations of women have been conditioned to believe that their periods are disgusting or shrameful, which has massive consequences for our bodies, our healthcare decisions, our sex lives and our overall well...2022-11-0718 min $The Places We\'ll Go Marketing Show$ The Places We'll Go Marketing ShowSophie Neary, MD at Google - It's not about perfectionSophie Neary, the Group Director at Meta, joined us for an incredibly inspiring episode in which her "sunniness", energy and excitement for life was clear.

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious - Black Women in Tech with Pearl Oguchi and Sophie Neary"Talent is Equally Distributed, opportunity is not" is one of the phrases I find most helpful when thinking about diversity in the workplace. Being a successful white woman doesn’t mean my career successes have come easy - but it does mean that the colour of my skin hasn’t made it even harder. Sometimes when we talk about women in the workplace, we overlook the inequity within gender inequality. Intersectionality matters. The numbers speak for themselves – just 5% of leadership positions in UK tech are held by women, and only 2% of the entire tech workforce is black. T...2022-10-2216 min

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyCourage is Contagious with Sophie Neary - TRIGGER WARNING. Childless (not by choice), babyloss and infertility(Trigger warning). We are hopefully all familiar with the motherhood penalty and the barriers and biases that face a woman the moment she announces she is pregnant. But, we are probably less aware of the silence and stigma that surround other female health-related issues; invisible chains that hold us back, particularly because many are unseen and unspoken, and therefore remain hidden or misunderstood. Perhaps none more so than fertility challenges, one in four women will suffer from pregnancy loss. And one in seven women will suffer fertility challenges in actually getting pregnant...2022-10-2121 min

Courage is Contagious with Sophie NearyIntroducing Courage is ContagiousIf we look back at the last ten years of what it meant to be a women; Tinder was something you used to light a fire, Harvey Weinstein was a celebrated producer of many Oscar winning films and Phoebe Waller Bridge’s Fleabag was a one woman show at the Edinburgh Festival. Fast forward to today, and while women (and James Bond, thank you Phoebe) may be better off in some areas - we know the road to equality remains more long and winding than it should be. Here's a quick into to why we are making Coura...2022-10-2005 min

Futility ClosetStranded in Shangri-La In 1945, a U.S. Army transport plane crashed in New Guinea, leaving three survivors marooned in the island's mountainous interior.
