episode Building Real Diversity in Your Life (feat. Credell Simeon) cover

Building Real Diversity in Your Life (feat. Credell Simeon)

This week, we unpack what it really means to “embrace diversity” beyond buzzwords—and why expanding your circle can be an act of growth and resistance. From career boosts to better mental health, they break down the research on why diverse networks matter, then welcome guest Credell Simeon to share practical, human ways to build authentic relationships across difference—without tokenizing, performing, or burning out. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the comfort of familiar circles, this episode is your gentle push (and loving reality check) to choose community that helps you grow.

episode Door Openers: Why Mentorship Changes Everything (feat. Ally & Nikita) cover

Door Openers: Why Mentorship Changes Everything (feat. Ally & Nikita)

Mentorship isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a door. In this episode of The Scaries, we dig into why mentorship is one of the most powerful, human interventions we have for girls and youth facing adversity. Grounded in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Regina & Area’s 55 Doors Campaign, this conversation explores how one consistent, caring adult can change outcomes tied to belonging, confidence, education, and hope. You’ll hear directly from mentor Ally and her mentee Nikita about what mentorship looks like in real life, why it matters on the hard days, and how doors start to open when someone shows up consistently and without judgment. We break down why mentorship is future-building (not feel-good fluff), why access matters in Saskatchewan, and what it really means to be a door-opener in your own community. If you’ve ever wondered whether mentorship actually makes a difference, this episode answers that clearly: it does.

episode The 90s Diet Culture That Messed Us Up (feat. Erika Tkatchuk) cover

The 90s Diet Culture That Messed Us Up (feat. Erika Tkatchuk)

Trigger warning: discussions of diet culture, fatphobia, disordered eating, eating disorders, body shame, and weight loss messaging. We take a trip back to the 90s and early 2000s, when fat-free everything, “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” and low-rise jeans conditioned a whole generation to treat our bodies like problems to solve. We unpack diet culture as a system built on patriarchy, racism, capitalism, and control, and we share hard-hitting stats on how early body dissatisfaction and disordered eating begin for girls. Erika Tkatchuk, fitness professional and entrepreneur, also joins us to talk about how “wellness” disguises restriction, why diet culture keeps thriving online, and how we start healing our relationship with food and our bodies for good.

episode She Never Just Vanished: The Systemic Scaries of Missing Women (feat. Dr. Lorna Ferguson) cover

She Never Just Vanished: The Systemic Scaries of Missing Women (feat. Dr. Lorna Ferguson)

HAPPY SEASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trigger warning: discussions of violence, loss, and systemic discrimination. On this heavy but essential episode of The Scaries, we dive into the terrifying truths behind Canada’s missing women crisis—specifically in Saskatchewan, where Indigenous women make up just 3% of the population but over 60% of missing cases. With award-winning criminologist Dr. Lorna Ferguson, we explore why the system continues to fail marginalized women, what’s driving this epidemic, and how racial and social biases shape whether a case gets prioritized—or forgotten. We confront the stats, the silence, and the systems that allow women to vanish without a trace or a headline. Dr. Ferguson breaks down the myth of the "runaway," the flaws in media coverage, and the real meaning of being an ethical consumer of true crime. Say their names. Support the search. Hold your systems accountable. Because no woman just disappears. Follow us on Instagram @raiseherco and @scaries.podcast and on TikTok @raiseherco.

episode The Cult of “Community” — Why Women Are Targeted by Cults, MLMs, and Pyramid Schemes (Part 2) cover

The Cult of “Community” — Why Women Are Targeted by Cults, MLMs, and Pyramid Schemes (Part 2)

You thought pyramid schemes were a '90s thing? Think again. In this eye-opening Part 2, we unpack how cults, MLMs, and shady "boss babe" pitches are still thriving—and why women are in the bullseye. From sneaky social media tactics to the dark psychology of "community," we pull back the curtain on the red flags you need to spot. Spoiler: it’s not just about leggings, essential oils and protein powder. Get ready for the real tea on empowerment, manipulation, and how to protect yourself (and your group chat).

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
