| Beyond Blame, the Courts, the Children and the quiet power of protection | 25 Jul 2025 | 00:15:11 | |
In this deeply personal and reflective episode, I explore the evolving landscape of family law through the lens of justice, culture, and care. From the historical shifts in UK legislation to the lived realities of care proceedings and cross-border custody disputes, I unpack how legal systems shapeâand sometimes strainâour most intimate relationships. Drawing on my heritage, legal expertise, and theological insight, I challenge punitive models and advocate for a restorative approach to family justice. Whether you're a parent, practitioner, or simply curious about how law intersects with love, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope. đ Topics include:
đď¸ Recorded in a moment of quiet fatigue and fierce purpose, this episode is a testament to showing upâeven when itâs hard. | |||
| Fractures in the System: The NHS Strike and Labourâs Crisis of Credibility | 11 Jul 2025 | 00:20:10 | |
As over 200,000 NHS appointments face cancellation in the longest doctorsâ strike in UK history, this episode dives deep into the promises Labour madeâand the silence that followed. I reflect on my own experience in healthcare, the economic pressures that distort professional identity, and the moral weight of striking in a healing profession. From historical flashbacks to breaking newsâlike Unite Unionâs dramatic suspension of Angela Raynerâthis episode explores the growing disconnect between political rhetoric and lived reality. With rising inflation, suspended fuel payments, and unions growing quiet under Labour leadership, I ask: Who really stands with the workers? | |||
| Understanding the UK Assisted Dying Bill | Dignity or Departure | A Christian Response to Assisted Dying | 04 Jul 2025 | 00:22:14 | |
As the UK Parliament advances the Assisted Dying Bill, this episode of What About Me takes a bold and compassionate stand. I explore the ethical and theological fault lines of legalising assisted suicide, especially its impact on the most vulnerable in society. Drawing on scriptural case studies, lived experience, and international examples like Canadaâs troubling expansion of euthanasia, this episode unpacks how legislation framed as mercy can, in reality, blur the line between compassion and abandonment. With clarity and conviction, I make the case for enduring dignity over premature death, calling listeners to reflect on the sacredness of life, the dangers of medical power unchecked, and why the Christian faith compels us to protect life, not author its end. | |||
| Women's Rights | UK Parliament decriminalises abortion | choice | Coercion and lives between | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:14:08 | |
In this episode, we unpack the UK Parliament's historic decision to decriminalise abortionâand ask whether this moment marks true progress for women's rights, or reinforces deeper patterns of control. Through stories of young mothers, global gender disparities, and unsettling trends in liberal societies, we explore whether removing legal safeguards empowers choice or opens new doors for coercion. Has reproductive freedom been reclaimedâor quietly repurposed? This is not a debate about sides. Itâs a call to listen, question, and consider who really benefits when womenâs most intimate decisions are shaped by systems they didnât design. | |||
