Season 2 Episode 6: Women's Health: Epidemic of Silenced Voices

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into the discrepancy of research on women’s health and the significant deleterious impact on women, communities, and our collective society.

I share my inspiration and tangible ways of advocating for women’s health after recently attending a screening of the new Documentary, “The M Factor: Shredding Silence on Menopause” which, “confronts this neglected crisis, challenges societal and medical shortcoming and advocates for a revolutionary approach to women's health in America.”

Join me to educate, inspire, and empower yourself and the women you love, and also learn about my love of ice cream sandwich cookies.

Season 2 Episode 3: The Detriment of Being "Good"

In this week’s episode, I explore the cost of being “good”.

Join me as I break down Oz’s smoke and mirrors, silence as a strategy for acceptance, and the pain of taming oneself to belong. Let’s defy gravity by defying “good”.
