What the FFS? Episode 1: Not Giving a FFS

This is where the FFS podcast starts. With how Fortuna Female Society came to be and why women still need spaces of our own. Real talk about the conversations women keep having everywhere else. Kitchens. School gates. Voice notes. Quiet corners. The ones that start with “is it just me?” and never are. Women’s spaces. Visibility. People-pleasing. Reclaim the Night. Online influence. And the moment women stop shrinking to keep things comfortable.
