It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield

Abbie is joined by friend of the show Harri James discuss the use of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse in a political ad during Ohio’s governor’s race. Drawing on Harry’s own experience as a survivor, they examine the harm caused when trauma is turned into campaign ammunition, the hypocrisy in the reaction from Republicans to the backlash, and the barriers misogynistic abuse creates for women in public life.

CW: This episode contains discussions of cancer, bowel movements, fear of food, and suicide.

In 2024, appearance activist Carly Findlay thought she just had a gastro bug, or maybe IBS. One person told her she might even have caught dysentery on holiday. Five months later she was in hospital being told she had ovarian and endometrial cancer. Carly tells Abbie about her journey from mystery symptoms to diagnosis, surgery and gruelling treatment. Now cancer-free, Carly is an ambassador for Frocktober, an organisation raising awareness for ovarian and endometrial cancer, and raising money for critical research into this silent killer.
