Bravery & Womanhood - Newcastle upon Tyne

Description

**Superb** **Inspirational** **Yes, I definitely laughed!** **Just go, you won't regret it** **Insightful, really insightful** **Surprising!** **Really funny but also serious** **Absorbing**

In 2020, whilst fat, funny and forty-sob-sob-sob-something-years-old, Person Irresponsible, academic and author, walked from Mexico to Canada. Alone. For reasons she's still not certain about.

Along the way, and very much after, she learnt a ton of stuff about fear and womanhood: stuff she wished she'd known about by the time she'd turned four – the age she commenced her initial journey into anxiety.

Topics include:

- Why are women twice as likely to have fears than men?

- Why are women considered 'brave' for doing exactly the same thing as men do?

- Can bravery be taught?

- Why is anxiety so addictive?

- What exactly does one do when faced with a grumpy bear?

All welcome above the age of 16

I’ve been asked to point out men are very welcome! Especially men who are fathers of girls, or teachers/support workers of girls/women.
