Welcome to ”The Trusted Friend,” the podcast that’s like a group therapy session, but without the awkward silences or the stale pastries. We all know that life can be a wild ride - sometimes it feels like we’re soaring on cloud nine, and other times we’re face-planting into the dirt. But no matter where we are on that rollercoaster, there’s one thing that can help us all feel a little less alone - sharing our stories. That’s what ”The Trusted Friend” is all about. We’re a podcast where we’ll be sharing stories of life’s ups and downs, joys and tragedies, losses and triumphs. And we’ll be doing it all with a healthy dose of humour, wit, and sarcasm. We’re not your typical self-help podcast - we won’t be giving you any cheesy advice like ”just think positive!” or ”breathe in, breathe out.” Instead, we’ll be sharing real stories from real people, with all the messy, complicated, and hilarious details. So if you’re looking for a podcast that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, tune in to ”The Trusted Friend.” We promise to be the friends you can count on - even if we’re just voices coming out of your headphones.

Unsung Women of War: Secrets, Sacrifice & Legacy with Author Clare Mulley
Trusted Friend Upcoming Events
In honor of International Women’s Day, we are diving into the extraordinary lives of women who defied expectations, risked everything, and played pivotal roles in shaping history—often without receiving the recognition they deserved
Award-winning author and historian Clare Mulley has a gift for bringing history’s forgotten heroines to life. In this episode, she shares the gripping stories of fearless women like Christine Granville, the spy who talked her way out of Nazi execution, and Zo, who parachuted into Nazi-occupied Poland in a dress.
Clare’s passion for uncovering untold stories makes history come alive in the most compelling way. These women weren’t just brave—they were brilliantly effective, shaping the world in ways that often went unrecognized.
Join me as we explore their untold stories, the power of persistence, and the lessons we can learn from their courage. This episode is a celebration of resilience, resourcefulness, and the incredible impact of women who refused to be underestimated.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Women’s Greatest Strength: Many of these women succeeded because they were overlooked. The assumption that they were "harmless" became their greatest asset in espionage and resistance movements.
Courage in the Face of Fear: Whether it was parachuting behind enemy lines, securing Nazi surrenders, or talking their way out of execution, these women took unimaginable risks—and won.
Beyond Sacrifice—Effectiveness: Too often, we talk about their bravery and sacrifice but not enough about how incredibly effective they were. They didn’t just assist—they led.
The Power of Storytelling: Many of these stories remained hidden for too long. Recognizing and sharing them isn’t just about honoring history—it’s about redefining what leadership and strength look like today.
