This is the first in a two-part series, produced in partnership with the non-profit organisation Right to Equality, where we look into the shocking subject of child removal in private family proceedings in England and Wales.

To help me understand more about this phenomenon I’m joined by three impressive guests:

Dr Charlotte Proudman, women’s rights barrister, Founder of Right to Equality, and author of the book “He Said, She Said” recalls how she represented a 15 year old girl we call “Florence”. Charlotte talks about Florence’s remarkable courage in independently fighting to return to her mum in the High Court, after she was removed from her aged 10. “He Said, She Said” is out now in paperback. You can read more about Florence’s case in an article by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism here.

Professor Jo Delahunty KC is a leading silk in both public and private law cases. She was the winner of 2025 Family silk of the year for skills. She is also an author of two recent books, “We Set the Bar” and “Domestic Abuse and the Family Justice System”. Jo tells us about a recent groundbreaking case Re: Y (Experts and Alienating Behaviour: The Modern Approach) where she represented a 15 year old boy as he put forward his case to return to his mother, before the most senior family judge in England and Wales.

The Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales, Claire Waxman OBE, also joins Sara’s panel of guests to share how she came to learn about the phenomena of child removal and the role that unregulated experts have to play in these removals. She shares her personal experience and work in uncovering the harmful practices of experts and her hopes for imminent change.

Why do so many women struggle with emotional eating, body image, and feeling disconnected from themselves—especially during times of stress, heartbreak, or hormonal change?

In this powerful conversation, Sara Davison is joined by emotional eating expert and body freedom coach Amber Romaniuk to uncover the deeper roots of food struggles, self-worth, and hormonal health.

Amber shares her personal journey from childhood bullying, binge eating, and food addiction to healing her relationship with food and helping thousands of women reclaim their confidence and well-being. Together, they explore how unresolved emotional pain, low self-worth, stress hormones, and hormonal imbalances can fuel emotional eating and self-sabotaging behaviours.

You'll discover:

• The difference between emotional eating, overeating, and binge eating
• How childhood experiences can shape your relationship with food
• Why self-worth is at the core of lasting healing
• The surprising role cortisol, progesterone, and other hormones play in cravings and mood
• How hormonal changes can impact relationships, emotions, and decision-making
• Practical tools to break emotional eating patterns and build healthier coping strategies
• What "Body Freedom" really means and how to achieve it

If you've ever found yourself reaching for food to cope with stress, heartbreak, anxiety, or overwhelm, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for lasting change.
