What do we know so far about COVID \\u2013 clinically and scientifically \\u2013 in women, including those who are pregnant. Jane talks to Professor Louise Kenny a clinical academic from Liverpool Women\\u2019s Hospital\\nWe\\u2019ve all heard of \\u2018tidy desk, tidy mind\\u2019 but is there any truth in the well-known phrase? With all of us spending more time at home during lockdown, many people used that time to have a clear out and get rid of some clutter. After so many TV shows appearing where we watch people tidy others\\u2019 houses, we ask why tidying up is so satisfying and if the amount of clutter we have in our homes can affect our mental health.\\nNow that non-invasive cosmetic procedures are able to resume operating after lockdown, are treatments such as Botox being normalised? We take a look at the trends over time and speak to a regular Botox user about how people\\u2019s attitudes to Botox are changing. \\nIt was watching Christine Blasey Ford testify against Brett Kavanaugh that finally convinced Debora Harding that she needed to write her own memoir. The result, Dancing with the Octopus: Telling of a True Crime. The book tells the story of Debora\\u2019s kidnap and rape at the age of 14 in Omaha, USA and the aftermath while living in a dysfunctional family. Debora talks to Jane about reckoning and recovery, the long terms effects of trauma, being a survivor of violent crime and how our families shape us. \\n \\nPresenter: Jane Garvey\\nInterviewed guest: Professor Louise Kenny\\nInterviewed guest: Rachel Burditt \\nInterviewed guest: Heather Sequeira\\nInterviewed guest: Mel Abbott\\nInterviewed guest: Alice Hart-Davis\\nInterviewed guest: Debora Harding\\nProducer: Lucinda Montefiore
