Welcome to the "I'm With Her" podcast - a safe space to share uncomfortable truths. Co-hosts Izzy and Cal confess moments they have failed to show up in the world the way they want, in the hope that it makes listeners feel less alone in their experience of living in this world as a woman. We discuss all the hot topics happening in the world with a lens that is raw, vulnerable and true. Whether we are confessing our sins, letting rip on our 60 second rants or interviewing inspiring women doing cool things, it is done with pure kindness and lots of hysterical ugly laughing x
IWH Bitesize: why is getting a diagnosis for a UTI so difficult?
Just me and Cal talking about it stinging when you pee for about 10mins. Or as Cal puts it "trying to piss a knife"...Yup...most women will know exactly what I am talking about. Urinary Tract Infections are common as hell, in fact the second most common bacterial infection in the world. Half of all adult women will have experienced it. So why is this common thing so difficult to diagnose??

How to keep safe
This episode is all about womens safety. This topic is really personal both both Cal and Izzy. Following the deaths of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa in the UK, there has been an increase in ‘advice’ from politicians and police focussing on how women can keep ‘safe’ from sexual assault and violence. The argument is often that the advice offered by police and various organisations protects women. So If we disregard the hugely problematic narrative of victim-blaming, are they simply pragmatic tips that keep us safe? Or surely there’s another way to tackle the endemic issue of gender-based violence that doesn’t involve putting all the onus on women to protect themselves...
This is a hugely personal topic for Cal and Izzy. If you are affected by the information discussed or you are struggling in anyway please do not hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you x
