The Invisible Woman: Recent Episodes
Just Gold Digital Agency
Regardless of background, education, skills, status, class or professional path, once a woman hits 50, she vanishes; her access to opportunity is limited and she is gradually excluded from fully participating in society until she disappears. Is this happening to you too?
The Invisible Woman is a research and awareness project produced by Just Gold Digital Agency to create awareness on an urgent global syndrome affecting women over 50 years old.

In this episode of The Invisible Woman Podcast, we speak with Ruth Russell in Adelaide. Ruth shares her stories from her time working as a public servant in the 80's, how she has kept herself busy in retirement and how she feels about the standard to which women are held in public life.
This is a special edition of The Invisible Woman Podcast, where we had a group of six women from different walks and stages of life get together to have a chat about invisibility, sexuality and motherhood. Listen as Carley Bishop, Voula Stamatakis, Johanna Kelders, Despina Merambeliotis, Marizelle Stein and Veronica Gauci share their experiences of invisibility and the influence of intersectionality on how they experience life.
Last November the Just Gold team attended Newkind Conference, a conference designed to inspire and empower participants to build a better world. We had a chance to speak with some participants and presenters on the invisible woman syndrome, including guest speaker Dr Anastasia Hronis who is a clinical psychologist and founder of the Australian Institute for Human Wellness, and participants Annabel Rattigan, Program Leader at High Resolves and Natasha Wooley, Marketing and Communications Manager at High Resolves.
Last November, the Just Gold Team attended Newkind conference, A conference designed to inspire and empower participants to build a better world. We had a chance to speak with some participants and presenters on the Invisible Woman Syndrome, including Nova Peris OAM, who attended New Kind as a guest speaker.
Nova Peris was Australia's first aboriginal woman elected to federal parliament as a senator for the Northern Territory. She was also the first aboriginal Australian and Northern Territorian to win an Olympic gold medal. We talked to Nova about her hopes and fears for women over 50 and more specifically her biggest fears for Indigenous women over 50 as they grow older.
The Just Gold team will be attending Newkind Conference again in November, 2022. We hope to see you there. If you have your own story to share for the Invisible Woman Podcast, we'd love to hear from you. Get in contact at justgoldwomen.net.
In this episode, we speak with Jeanette Large, CEO of Women’s Property Initiatives, about how the Covid pandemic and subsequent lockdowns affected women’s relationships and homelife, what factors can lead to a woman becoming homeless, and the importance of safe, secure housing for everyone.
Shocking data has revealed how easy it is for seemingly prosperous women to become homeless, which is then exasperated by shame and isolation. What can women do to prevent this from happening to themselves, and what needs to change in society to alleviate this problem all together?
Join us as we speak with CEO of the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria, Katherine Ellis. Katherine shares her perspective on the importance of social connection for mental health, and planning for social and financial security heading into older age and retirement.
What can companies do to alleviate the invisibility issue? Why do we need more women in parliament?
Join us for this episode of The Invisible Woman Podcast, where we speak with our project convener Jo Cavanagh OAM who talks to us about what businesses need to do to minimise invisibility for their employees, the burden of unpaid caregiving, the need for women in the decision making process and the golden opportunity of women in the media.
In this episode we speak to the Founder of the HerStory Movement of South Australia and Former Adelaide Mayoress, Genevieve Theseira-Haese. She explores the powerful untold stories of women uncovered by the HerStory Movement, as women not only became invisible back then - but nameless.
Learning about the life experiences of women in history explains to us why society is the way it is now, and how we can shape a better future for everyone. We ask Genevieve about the complexities of ageing in our society, and if it differs in the past. She also casts light on the complexities of financial independence as a woman and businesswoman in modern times.

Is there a difference between men and women when they age? Join Kathy Williams as she explores the beauty myth, as anti-ageing discourse is celebrated for women, whilst men are revered as they age gracefully, morphing into George Clooney look-a-likes.
Invisibility is not just waiting the longest to be served at a bar. Invisibility is when opportunities dry up as you reach a certain age, and it's about your voice being drowned out amongst a sea of others. But we know that we are more than just our age. We are what we do, what we like, and what we are interested in. In this episode, Kathy touches on the work of The Office for Aging Well and its plan to fight ageism in South Australia.
In this episode, we speak to the South Australian Minister for Women, Katrine Hildyard. 128 years ago, South Australia became the first place in the world where women could both vote and stand for parliament. Fast forward to the present day, we speak to Katrine about the reality women are facing in South Australia that shows we still have a long way to go.
Listen to this episode as Katrine tells us about her burning passion for fairness, and the key policy areas that aim to tackle intersectionality, the pay gap, domestic violence and more.

Invisibility is not just about money; it is about power too. Katherine Ellis explores how the foundation of invisibility can be laid in a woman’s youth, and can begin as early as their 40's. We all know a fundamental barrier from falling into poverty is owning your own home, but the current housing market means that young people are not optimistic for the future – they are now fearful of it.
Join Katherine Ellis as she illustrates what the next generation of The Invisible Woman will look like if the status quo remains, and the action required to transform it.
Where does invisibility begin? Women find themselves fading away over time, oftentimes it is a rapid downward spiral. No woman is immune to invisibility, and as our Project Convenor Jo Cavanagh explains, it can even happen overnight.
Join Jo Cavanagh as she discusses the data drawn from grassroots research that has been codified into the Five D’s that are affecting women: Disability, Divorce, Death of partner, Domestic violence, and a Dearth of dollars. This perfect storm is rendering those women invisible who bind the fabric of our society and communities together.
