   the SHE Word - The Second Brain

   A staggering 49% of women (and 37% of men) meet the diagnostic criteria for at least one functional gastrointestinal disorder - gut health issues. Beyond the obvious discomfort of pain and cramps, there is often the secondary issues related to a bloated abdomen, the disrupted body functions and it turns out that there are far more reaching implications of a dodgy gut. But how many of us really pay much attention to the health of our microbiome, or to state it more passionately, how many of us actively take care of our Second Brain? Gut health influences your entire body because the micro-organisms in your digestive tract help control digestion, immunity, moods and brain function. Sitting down with Trudy are three specialists who enlighten the topic from three different perspectives, Dr Elena Zarb brings her knowledge as a pharmacist with a passion for gut health, having launched gut health initiatives across Brown’s Pharmacies. Sara Borg is Qualified Nutritional Therapist who aims to support individuals in understanding the root causes of their health concerns and creating sustainable changes that support long-term health and quality of life. Marie Micallef specialises in Lifestyle Coaching for High-Performing Women, Optimising Hormones, Energy & Metabolic Health and is a qualified pharmacist. The discussion breaks down the function of the gut in easy to understand terms, highlighting the importance of balanced gut health beyond just the obvious direct abdominal issues. The conversation highlights the connection between the gut and our brain, and how ‘butterflies in our stomach’ and ‘gut feeling’ are not just myths - hence the term ‘The Second Brain’. The three experts also highlight how medications, antibiotics, stress, lifestyle can all adversely affect our gut health, why we shouldn’t ignore their relevance, and the (some small) steps we can take to improve our gut health and therefore our overall well being. This is a do-not-miss show on a topic that affects all of us, but directly impacts on at least half of all women.

   The SHE Word - Women and Money Matters

   Lets face it, Money is one topic that is really hard to talk about. Surveys consistently show that people rank personal finance as more difficult to discuss than politics, religion, or even death. Talking about money is hard because society treats it as a deep emotional taboo that touches on our self-worth, status, and deepest insecurities. Which means that it is DEFINITELY something that we should be talking about on The SHE Word. Admitting to debt, low savings, or a financial mistake feels like admitting personal failure. People worry others will view them as irresponsible or incapable. Conversely, wealthy individuals often stay silent out of fear of envy, awkwardness, or people treating them differently. In this episode, Trudy sits down with Vanessa Borg, Joyce Hili and Sharon Pollacco who bring their expertise from BOV, to pick their brains on this crucial part of life's everyday functions. Trudy pushes hard and digs deep to find out exactly how we as women can be more financially secure, no matter what our circumstances are. Over and over again we hear that financial literacy should be something that we learn about from an early age, not only to dispel shame and fear, but to also empower women to take control of their money and find true financial freedom. This show brings you the tools, knowledge and easy understanding to help every woman to be more empowered when it comes to Money Matters.

   The SHE Word - Women and B*tching & Bullying

   B*ITCHING. We are all familiar with the term Bitching. Most of us have been on the receiving end of someone’s bitching, and if we are really honest, most of us probably have the odd bitch from time to time. But what happens when bitching translates to bullying. Negativity turns nasty and derogatory comments become devastating. Maybe it’s a family member’s sly remark, a ruthless comment online, a colleague’s insensitive joke, a trusted friend’s betrayal. Hurt hits differently for each of us, but in this episode we look at the difference between gossip, constructive criticism, bitching and bullying. Trudy sits down with Model and DJ Tiffany Pisani, Love Island Winner Chelsea Bagnall Falzon and SHE Word regular Sue Caruana as the women share their experiences from verbal intimidation to physical bullying, from name calling to dedicated HATE Facebook Pages, sl*t-slander and much more. Trudy asks Tiffany, Chelsea and Sue what was the worst thing that has been said to them, with shocking answers. The guests share the impact of what has happened to them, and how they have recovered and moved forward. In Tiffany’s words ‘Push through, keep going and inspire others’. If you have ever experienced bullying, if you know someone who has - or if you are just a woman living In 2026 - this show will make you feel seen and empowered.
