LIVE 16: Be Inspired by Caitlin Davies & Priscilla Appeaning

Author Caitlin Davies introduces us to the female inmates of Holloway Prison this week on Baddas Women's Hour. She reveals what she learned from writing her book “Bad Girls: Rebels and Renegades”. 

We invite Priscilla Appeaning to unravel the world of stepmotherhood as she launches The Stepmums Club (@thestepmumsclub) in a bid to bridge the gap between birth mum and step mum.

Journalist and Author, Porna Bell stands in for Natalie Campbell in this episode, and joins Emma Sexton and Harriet Minter as they tackle the news from the week. On this week's agenda: Scarlett Johansson turned up to the Met Ball in a dress made by Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife... is that OK? How do tears at work become a power battleground? And have you been taking care of your internal housekeeping enough, so that in business, you are charging what you are worth?

We love hearing from you so either leave a review, or contact us on the socials:
