Na semana passada, na Second Home Mercado: o que significa realmente ser saudável enquanto mulher? A jornalista @laurenelclark moderou um painel de especialistas na área do bem-estar, explorando o ruído à volta da nutrição, fitness e saúde mental. Em conjunto, desmistificaram mitos sobre a saúde feminina e ajudaram-nos a perceber aquilo a que vale verdadeiramente a pena prestar atenção dentro deste universo complexo. EN: Last week at Second Home Mercado: what does it actually mean to be healthy as a woman? Journalist Lauren Clark led a panel of experts within the wellness space - exploring the noise around nutrition, fitness and mental wellbeing. Together, they unravelled the myths surrounding women's health and showed us what's actually worth paying attention to within its complex landscape.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a brilliant conversation with Rosa Campbell and Lucy Delap on Shere Hite — the once-famous, now largely forgotten figure of second-wave feminism who quite literally turned up the volume on questions of women’s pleasure, while emerging herself as a dynamic and complex figure. Hite’s work changed the way millions thought about sex, marriage, and female autonomy. The story of how she did that, before disappearing into a footnote to the very history she helped shape, is both fascinating and infuriating. You can read about it in Campbell's book, The Book That Taught the World to Orgasm and Then Disappeared. Featuring: @rosaetcetera x Lucy Delap 📸: @rock_bottom_tv_

Member Spotlight, PT: Clare Goodchild, Fundadora e Diretora da @weorganisechaos . Clare produz eventos outdoor de grande escala, premiados internacionalmente, colaborando com festivais independentes e de base comunitária. O seu trabalho assenta na sustentabilidade social, tendo clientes como o festival We Out Here, o primeiro festival outdoor a receber a certificação Dark Skies Friendly. Atualmente baseada em Lisboa, Clare escolheu a cidade pela sua diversidade, energia criativa e pelos “creative nooks” que permitem a ela e à sua equipa viver e trabalhar de forma mais criativa. Estar na Second Home Lisbon mudou a forma como Clare pensa: “Ajudou-me a pensar fora da caixa e de forma mais criativa sobre a maneira como ganho a vida e como gero o meu tempo livre. Acho que moldou verdadeiramente a forma como hoje abordo a minha vida.” - Member Spotlight, EN: Clare Goodchild, Founder and Director of @weorganisechaos . Clare delivers award-winning, large scale, outdoor events globally working alongside independent and grassroots festivals. Clare's work is grounded in social sustainability, with festival clients like @weoutherefest being the first outdoor festival to be awarded with a Dark Skies Friendly accreditation. Based in Lisbon, Clare chose this location for her agency based on the city's variety, vibrancy and the 'creative nooks' that give her and her team a chance to live more creatively. Being at Second Home Lisbon has changed how Clare thinks: "it has helped me think outside the box, and more creatively about the way I earn a wage and how I manage my free time, and I think it has truly shaped the way I now approach my life".

Last week at Libreria, Şeyda Kurt and Tice Cin offered a provocative reconsideration of hate not simply as a negative emotion, but as a force that can clarify what polite language often obscures. Kurt’s argument, in Hate: The Uses of a Powerful Emotion, is not that hate is virtuous, but that difficult emotions have political and creative uses. In conversation with Cin, she explored how rage can expose injustice, disturb complacency, and become a route into resistance. Thank you to everyone who joined us. 📸: @rock_bottom_tv_
