Welcome to another episode of Women's Hour, recorded on Sunday, 2nd February 2025. In the first half, we catch up with Captain Jo, who shares her hectic week and the technical difficulties she's been facing. We discuss the challenges of balancing life, work, and unexpected disappointments, all while enjoying a cheeky glass of red wine. Our conversation takes a light-hearted turn as we delve into our love-hate relationship with crisps and the struggles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

In the second half, we have a brave guest, Amy, who shares her harrowing story of surviving abuse and overcoming addiction. Amy recounts her traumatic experiences from childhood, including being part of a pedophile ring and later being abused by her stepfather. She shares her journey through addiction to crystal meth and her eventual recovery. Amy's story is one of resilience and strength, as she emphasizes the importance of self-love and forgiveness.

Amy's courage in sharing her story is a powerful reminder of the ongoing issues of abuse and the need for support and understanding. Her participation in the upcoming Million Women March aims to bring awareness and change to the systemic issues surrounding abuse and conviction rates. Join us as we stand together for justice and change.
