This week we’re joined by the brilliant Kelly Newton, founder of Nixxi Body (leak-proof underwear) and champion for women’s health. We're obsessed with Kelly and her knickers!

Kelly shares her journey with us from managing painful periods and a long-overdue endometriosis diagnosis to eventually launching a brand focused on comfort, confidence, and keeping women moving through all stages of life. We chat about how Nixxi came to be, why running has become such a big part of her life, and how she’s found confidence along the way.

Her Dream 5-a-side team is full of women she admires and a few familiar faces, and we talk about the ups and downs of building a business, navigating menopause, and handling the not-so-fun bits (like seeing your tagline show up in a big brand’s ad campaign).

We loved this conversation with Kelly. It was thoughtful, funny, and full of those little moments that remind you how powerful it is when women back each other.

This week we welcome Arianna Criscione, a former professional footballer at Paris Saint-Germain and international athlete. Taking her experience beyond the pitch, Arianna co-founded Valeur Sport, an organisation dedicated to fostering equity and innovation within the sport.

Arianna tells us all about her Dream Team of women who have supported her goals both on and off the pitch – including the friends who helped get her business off the ground. She also introduces the concept of shouting out three new gals: the head coach, equipment manager, and ball girl.

This week we welcome Alicia Collymore Tech Leader AND one of our Gals FC south-east vibe protectors onto the podcast, the incredibly inspiring, energetic and hilarious Alicia.

Alicia has been part of the Gals FC community pretty much since we launched and does an amazing job of keeping the energy up and the vibe protected. She also finds time to lead a team of developers at fast growing start-up Incident.io.

She tells us all about her Dream Team of inspiring women, why she loves working in tech, and she has some great careers advice for anyone just starting out.

We also provide a half-time match report from the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley (shout out to the 70 Gals who made the trip) and we have a co-host this week as Nora's baby makes his voice heard!
