Evidence-based essentials every woman should have
Why “The Little Black Dress of Women’s Health”?
The little black dress is a basic in our wardrobe. We go to it because we trust it and know it can be worn anywhere. It’s simple but reliable.
These podcasts are exactly that. It’s the information every woman should have to understand her body, prevent or manage change, and know when to seek support.
Episode 1: Women’s Health & Why We Started
In this first episode, Peta Titter (WHEN Founder and CEO, continence nurse and Pilates practitioner) and Dr Rhea Psereckis (WHEN Medical Director, GP and public health doctor) introduce themselves and explain why WHEN started.
They share the experiences that brought them to this work. Peta talks about her own pelvic floor injury after her first baby and her discovery that pregnancy exercise guidelines were written to keep the baby safe, not the woman. Rhea opens up about how her long history of eating disorders led to incontinence in her twenties, and why she never went back for help.
They also unpack why “getting your body back” is a failed concept, why WHEN uses the word power instead of empower, and what women said when WHEN asked them directly instead of assuming.
The episode ends with a call for women to be discerning about the health information they find online, and an invitation to send in the topics you want covered.
We don’t need to be empowered. Power isn’t something anyone should hand us. It should already be ours, and honest information about our bodies is how we claim it. The Little Black Dress is evidence-based conversation about what really happens to women’s bodies at every stage of life, including the things we’ve been told to put up with, laugh off or keep quiet about, and what can be done instead.
