Controversial Topics We Didn’t Hold Back On

About this episode

The episode discusses family life, cultural issues, and societal challenges surrounding period leave and endometriosis.

In this episode, we’re chatting all things family life and diving into the latest episodes of At Home with the Furys. We get into traveller culture, the reality of a 16-year-old engagement, and the tension between respecting tradition and having real parental concerns. From there, we move into some of the TV controversies doing the rounds, including David Haye’s behaviour, and give our honest opinions on it all. We also have a proper conversation about period leave and endometriosis. We share our own experiences, but also look at the bigger picture — the challenges this brings for employers and where government policy actually stands on it. It’s one of those episodes where we cover a lot… real life, strong opinions, and conversations that don’t have a simple answer.
