Key Takeaways:


Clergy abuse of women is more common than typically perceived, intertwining emotional, psychological, and spiritual manipulation.


Ministers wield a unique form of power, influencing and accessing the private lives of congregants in ways other professionals do not.


Prevention measures include ministers recognizing their power, committing to personal integrity, and maintaining open and honest discussions with mentors or supervisors.


Congregations have a role to play in safeguarding themselves by being observant and addressing any questionable behaviors of their leaders.


Full disclosure and accountability are necessary when a minister breaches ethical boundaries to prevent harmful rumors and promote healing within the community.

Notable Quotes:

She Wasn’t Born Yesterday tackles the many unique issues affecting women who are 40+ fabulous. No topic is too controversial!

She Wasn't Born Yesterday

How do you deal with the ‘pause’? How do you know you’re dating someone with a narcissistic personality disorder? How do you move on from divorce? Behind the scenes of a 40+ influencer and how to reverse the aging process, are just a few topics tackled.

SWBY features Janet Evans, an ex M&C Saatchi advertising creative and Dr Amelia Haines, a sexual and relationship therapist, who have written Australia’s first book on empty nest syndrome called Empty Next. A chance interview on radio station Hope 103.2 about the book inspired the podcast.

“So many unique issues affect women of our age, including empty nest syndrome, and nothing’s off limits in SWBY! We really dive headfirst into them, but hopefully with lightness and relevant wit where possible,” Janet commented. “We were incredibly lucky to chat to some very high profile guests, including CEOs of important organisations, who shared their expertise with us and our audience.”
