In this episode we delve into the world of online misogyny and the resilience around constant online abuse.
Alex Maher is a doctoral researcher at Loughborough University studying feminism and misogyny on TikTok, in no small part as a result of her own experiences as a creator on the app.
After downloading TikTok as a fact-finding experiment to aid her marketing career, her feminist skits and political hot-takes saw her rise to popularity - and notoriety – with anti-feminists revealing the dark underbelly of an app seen as light entertainment for most.
Her research seeks to expose the potentially radicalising and harmful influence of such people operating on the app, in order to better support women using social media to challenge inequality.

How do we cope when we can't do the one thing we love? This is a question that really started this podcast and Jen Scotney's journey to delve into resilience.
This week we ask this of Beth Pascall, who is in a very similar position, having to live without running, after an injury in 2021. We talk about how we do or don't cope with not being able to run, what that resilience looks like, and other time's in Beth's life she has been through similar. Thank you to Beth for taking the time to talk about such a difficult time.
Beth is a leading ultrarunner. She has won the 100 mile Western States Run, 268 mile Montane Spine Race, the Spine Challenger, the Highland Fling, and many others. She’s come 4th at UTMB and 2nd at Dragons Back Race. She holds the female Bob Graham Round record, of 14 hours 34 minutes, as well as the record for running Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland. She has run for Great Britain and is supported by Salomon Running and other brands, as well as working as a paediatric doctor.
She has largely been out of running for 18 months, and although she has been out on her bike, recently completing the single stage Atlas Mountain Race, a race over 1300 kilometres, we discover cycling isn't a simple substitute for running.

Rachel Modest is a solo singer, lead singer of The Bluefoot Project, and gospel choir director. About to give up on a career in the music industry, and at a low point in her life, she agreed to go on Series 11 of the ITV singing competition show, The Voice UK. All four judges turned around and gave her a standing ovation. She chose Sir Tom Jones as her mentor and over the weeks we saw her progress through as far as the semi finals. She was nominated for ‘Best Performance in a TV show’ at the Urban Music Awards and on this episode she talks about resilience from her perspective in the music industry.
We talk about the music teacher that told her she was too ugly to make it, the male dominated nature of record companies, how age and location still matter, and yet did it matter to Bach and Beethoven?
