    Ep. 32 How Different Are Women’s Rights Around The World?

    A woman shouldn’t have to prove her worth to get basic documents, basic health care, or basic safety, yet that’s the reality for many women in Nepal. We’re joined by Parina Subba Limbu, a Kathmandu-based activist with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Dristi Nepal, a women-led nonprofit supporting women who use drugs, women living with HIV, single mothers, and survivors of violence. We talk about what stigma looks like up close: being denied dignity at service centers, facing invasive questions in clinics, and being blamed for violence instead of protected from it. Parina breaks down how patriarchy shows up in policy and daily life. And how different are women struggles between the two countries.  Key Topics Women’s rights in NepalImpact of stigma and discriminationRole of activism and community supportChallenges in accessing legal documentationDisparities in treatment of women and men About Parina With over 20 years of experience as an activist in Nepal, Parina has dedicated her life, career and expertise with experience to advancing the rights and well-being of women who use drugs and those who are living with HIV, single mothers, and survivors of violence. Her work focuses on gender-specific issues, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), stigma reduction, mental health, human rights, and the intersection of drug use and HIV within the feminist movement. She has led numerous capacity-building initiatives, training programs, and advocacy campaigns aimed at strengthening leadership, reducing discrimination, and improving access to essential services for marginalized women.

    Ep. 31 What Is Menopause? And Is This The Reason Why I Feel Like I Am Losing My Mind?

    Hot flashes, brain fog, and that hair-trigger mood that makes you want to fight everyone in your house can feel personal, like you’re failing at life. We’re here to say it clearly: a lot of this is hormonal, and there are real, evidence-based ways to make it easier. We sit down with Dana Lawson, a certified health coach and menopause educator to explain what is really going on.   Key Topics Peri-MenopauseThe misconceptions of menopauseMen get menopause? Nutrition and menopauseHRTWomen of color and menopause About Dana Dana Lawson is a Certified Health Coach and Menopause Educator with over 15 years in the health and wellness industry. Despite her background, when she entered menopause at 51, she experienced severe fatigue, hot flashes, sleep disruption, weight gain, and depression, symptoms that didn’t respond to the strategies that had worked for her before. Determined to find answers, Dana sought advanced mentorship with a Certified Hormone Specialist and Menopause Expert in Canada. Today, her mission is to help all women, but especially women of color, understand what’s happening to their hormones during the menopause transition and how to support their bodies through evidence-based nutrition, restorative sleep, stress management, intentional movement, and nervous system regulation.

    Ep. 30 Could It Be ADHD? What Every Woman Needs To Know

    Your life isn’t messy because you’re “bad at adulting” it’s messy because you’re trying to run a neurotypical system with an ADHD brain while carrying the whole single-mom load. I sit down with Kate, an accredited career and ADHD coach and the founder of 8 Percent Coaching, to get real about what adult ADHD in women actually looks like behind the stereotypes, and why so many high-achieving women don’t get diagnosed until their 30s, 40s, or even menopause. About Kate Kate is an Accredited Career and ADHD Coach who helps ambitious professionals navigate the workplace with a neurodivergent brain. A busy mum of three, she knows firsthand the juggle of parenting and performing — and still managed a 56% salary jump through strategic repositioning.

    Ep. 29 Do You Have A Mother Wound?

    Some relationships shape you before you even have words for what’s happening and that’s why the mother wound can feel so hard to name. I’m joined by Tania, a Brooklyn-born Latina podcaster who keeps it raw, funny, and honest, to talk about the complicated mix of love, loyalty, criticism, and expectation that can sit between mothers and daughters, especially in cultures where “respect your mother” is treated like a rule you’re not allowed to question.

Blending comedy, honesty, and heart, she brings unfiltered conversations about life, growth, relationships, and everything in between.

    Your dad vanishes, the rumors turn into legend, and you spend decades wondering if he is dead, hiding, or living under a new name. Then your phone rings and everything flips. We sit down with Lisa Alexander, who grew up with a larger-than-life father known as Whitey, a man whose chaos shaped her childhood and whose absence left a crater of unanswered questions. About Lisa The story about my father Whitey Macdonald being a fugitive for over 30 years and what it was like for me, his daughter to wonder where he was all those years.

Reconnecting with him after all those years the shock the pain, finally having that connection with my father that I had always hoped for. But time was sure because he was dying of stage four cancer.

    Ep. 27 Money Tips For Single Moms

    Money hits different when you’re a single mom. There’s no backup account, no one to split the mental math with, and no margin for “I’ll deal with it later.” If you’ve ever avoided your bank app because it felt like a hundred tiny steps, or found yourself impulse-buying at the end of a brutal day, this conversation is for you. We sit down with Sherry Andrew of Money Mindset Financial Coaching and get real about relationships and divorce finances. Sherry explains the biggest mistake many women make by not being involved in household money, what financial independence can actually look like (even when you share a life with someone), and why having your own decision-making power can be protective and freeing. Then we move into practical, ADHD-friendly strategies like payday automation, separating spending money from bill money, and prioritizing essentials first when you’re rebuilding. Key Topics Know Your Income and Expenses: Knowing where your money comes from and where it goes is the first step toward effective budgeting.Finances Pre and Post divorce: Strategizing for the future is key.Automation and scheduling apps to pay bills is one way to keep off your plate as a busy mom.About Sherry After being fired from a nearly 17-year career, Sherry took a leap of faith to pursue her passion for personal finance and launched Money Mindset Financial Coaching in 2018. After her job loss, she discovered her love for personal finance by learning everything she could to improve her household finances. Now, she helps others make significant shifts with their money. After learning that she has ADHD, she pivoted her business focus to assist individuals and entrepreneurs with ADHD in gaining confidence and clarity with their finances by building and implementing systems that simplify their lives. She enjoys working with ADHD entrepreneurs because the added complexity of self-employment presents extra challenges, while also providing greater opportunities for increased income! Her clients save, pay off debt, and achieve their financial goals while still living their lives! She believes that the path to your financial goals doesn’t include a restrictive budget, but comes by focusing on what is important to you and building systems that align with how your brain works!

    Ep. 26 Single Mom, Real Talk

    Someone tells a single mom to “just relax” and it sounds harmless, until you’ve lived the day she’s living. I sit down with Veronica, a California single mother raising a 15-year-old and the host of Stop Telling Me to Relax, to name what actually sits on our plates: the schedules, the bills, the loneliness, the identity shifts, and the pressure to look fine while we’re doing the work of two people.

    Ep. 25 We’re Accidentally Training Men How to Treat Us

    You know that feeling when someone gives you just enough attention to keep you hooked, then disappears long enough to make you spiral? We’re not calling it fate, bad luck, or Mercury retrograde. We’re calling it behavior. I sit down with Paola Ortiz, a board certified behavior analyst and professor, to look at dating patterns through Applied Behavior Analysis and it gets uncomfortably clarifying, fast. Key Takeaways Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science that studies how behaviors are influenced by environmental factors.ABA can help individuals recognize and change unhealthy dating patterns by understanding reinforcement and behavior dynamics.How can I break unhealthy dating patterns?
