Do you feel strong? Journalist and author Poorna Bell talks to Harriet Minter about how she found both inner and outer strength when she took up powerlifting. Poorna’s new book “Stronger” looks at what society tells us about women’s strength and turns it on its head.

What about when you go and speak to your doctor? Do you feel strong then? A new study discovers that twenty percent of women who went to see their doctor about gynaecological issues, left feeling like their concerns had been treated as trivial. 

Plus Harriet shares some advice for a listener feeling anxious about being around crowds of people at her friend's wedding.
