Tough Talks #1 - Sexual Harassment in the Legal Sector

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 02:12:43 GMT

In the first episode of our new miniseries ‘Tough Talks’ Thea + Claire dive straight into the deep end and discuss ‘Sexual Harassment in the Legal Profession’.

Content Warning: This episode discusses sexual harassment and living as a survivor.

We touch on the issues within the legal sector in addressing sexual harassment, how to balance our passion for advocacy with our need to sustain a career, and our frustrations around privilege and lived experience. Ultimately this episode is a drop in the ocean of this topic but it’s a starting point for a very tough conversation to have!

‘Tough Talks’ is a new miniseries of the GMS podcast. Thea + Claire will be delving into the conversations which are hard to have. We are going to stumble our way through complex issues and speak openly about topics many of us shy away from for fear of being wrong. Expect 2-3 Tough Talks episodes a season alongside the regular GMS favourites.

Disclaimer: In this episode Claire discusses an anecdote of her friends experience in the legal system regarding sexual harassment. We wanted to clarify that the reasons discussed in the episode for why her cases did not proceed were not the sole reasons. As always these are complex issues that are multifaceted in every respect.

Perceiving Through Personality

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 19:44:14 GMT

They might not be for everyone but for Thea Walton personality tests, particularly Myers Briggs, are a tool through which she seeks to strengthen her relationships and learn more about herself. In this weeks episode of Get Me Started we discuss the ins and outs of Myers Briggs, Thea opens up about recovery from a brain injury, and we talk about the impact of the five love languages on our friendships. At the end of the day whether you prescribe to the "science" behind these kinds of identifying tests or not Thea makes a strong case for their validity in helping ground your empathy and self reflection just a bit better.

Hosted, edited and created by Thea. With thanks as always to DJ for our sound mastering.

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 04:25:17 GMT

Welcome to the Get Me Started Podcast!

We’ve all had a moment in conversation where we’ve told someone “don’t get me started” whether it be a topic that gets you excited, frustrated, or something you’ve just learnt way too much about you have to warn them you have a lot to say.

This podcast is all about delving into those conversations and not stopping ourselves from talking about the things which we genuinely have a passion for discussing.
