Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Discussing Dr Liz O'Riordan's journey from oncologist to patient to wellbeing advocate

1 hour 27 minutes | Thursday, 3 April 2025

After a career treating breast cancer, Liz O’Riordan didn’t expect to find herself on the other side of the desk. She tells Helen why she’s now dedicating her life to inspiring other women to take charge of their own wellbeing… Meanwhile, following yesterday's discussion of rising autism rates among kids, one Ma’an backed social entertprise has turned its attention to inclusivity and accessibility at work for an increasing cohort of autistic adults. We meet 13-year old Repton pupil Smayan Sethi, who  has just published his first acclaimed novel, Shadows of the New World… And private tuition is big business here in the UAE – but when is it a useful driver for kids, and when does it become unhelpful? Helen asks Ruth Brewer of Steer to Success and Craig O’Brien from Elite Education.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
