Tales of Female Badassery

Tales of Female Badassery podcast is brought to you by the Not Sorry Club.(Find us on Instagram @Not.Sorry.Club)We’ve all heard those urban myths; the woman in the meeting that refused to take the notes.Or the guy that asked the woman ‘can you make the tea?’, and she’s the CEO, so...no.Such myths have inspired a generation of women to create boundaries, speak up, be bolder, and live unapologetically.But, for many of us, those stories seem like just that – stories. Fairytales. Myths.The Tales of Female Badassery podcast brings stories of everyday acts of badassery to life, from the voices of women in different parts of the world, different professions, and different journeys. These are women living unapologetically, and are inspiring examples of Female Badassery.As women, we are hungry for such stories of female Badassery.So, the more women share their stories of confidence and boldness, the more real, accessible, and inspiring those stories become for other women and girls.After all, you cannot become what you cannot see, or in our case, you can’t become what you can’t hear about (through this podcast!)Please note: while we've tried to keep the language clean, there may be the odd swear word. Parental advisory is advised for listeners under 18 years of age.And while we explore what Female Badassery means to our guests, you might be wondering, what does it mean to us here at the Not Sorry Club?Well, we love a mnemonic - so here goes!B oundaried (in a good way.

January 02, 2024 • Not Sorry Club • Season 2 • Episode 2

Welcome to Ep. 2 of Series 2 in the Tales of Female Badassery podcast!

In this episode we speak to UK-based Professor Elaine Cloutman-Green; a woman who has several job titles and 37 letters after her name (these are explored in the episode), so get ready to get motivated as Elaine shares her tales of badassery with our podcast host & Not Sorry Club Founder, Betty Adamou.

Join us as Elaine shares...

Choosing what to wear to the KING'S ACTUAL CORONATION, and meeting Lionel Ritchie
How a little bit of fear is your friend when it comes to getting out of your comfort zone
Why it’s important, as a leader, to be open about our negative emotions, not just the positive
What it’s like working in healthcare, and during the pandemic
How Elaine supports other women to overcome imposter syndrome
What does “knowing your why” mean, and why that matters
Calling out inappropriate behaviour at work
speaking ‘truth to power’ in her role as an advisor during the pandemic, helping to ensure that safety for people always came first
How her @girlymicro blog became an act of rebellion
And much more!

(At approx. 1 hr 24 mins in, my neighbours dog started barking, and our walls are thin. This could not be removed in the editing, so thank you for your patience!)

PS. Who is Shonda Rhimes? (Elaine mentions her in the episode) She is an American TV producer, screenwriter, & founder of the production company Shondaland. And a total badass.
