    Listen Now: Archetypes with Meghan

    Introducing Archetypes, a refreshing and dynamic podcast where Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, dives into the labels that try to hold women back. During these intimate and candid conversations with guests from around the world, we discover how these archetypes impact our everyday lives in ways big and small. With experts and historians, Meghan also uncovers how we got here in the first place – unearthing the origin of words such as ‘diva’, ‘slut’, ‘the B word’, ‘hysterical’, and many more, and asks the question: can we change this? 

    In this episode, Meghan talks to the one and only Serena Williams about the double standard women face when they are labeled "ambitious" and the ripple effect this has on other aspects of their lives. This groundbreaking premiere episode also features Dr. Laura Kray, a leading expert on gender in the workplace.

    From Bad to Worse: COVID’s Toll on a Top Child Care Center

    From Bad to Worse: COVID’s Toll on a Top Child Care Center

    We are excited to share another Lemonada Media show you will love. It's called No One Is Coming to Save Us and it tackles the American child care crisis. No One Is Coming to Save Us has new episodes out every Thursday.

    Gloria is back and ready to tackle America’s child care crisis head-on. To kick off season 2, she calls up Lauren Cook, CEO of Ellis Early Learning in Boston. We met Lauren back in season 1, where she walked us through the nitty-gritty of how much it costs to operate a child care center. This time around, Lauren tears up as she talks about how nationwide labor shortages are reverberating through the child care system, what she has to do to keep the lights on at Ellis, and how the ongoing pandemic has made a bad situation continue to get worse.

    Listen to This: After 1954

    Listen to This: After 1954

    The team at In Recovery wanted to share with you a preview of another Lemonada Media series that they know you’ll want to tune in for. The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education paved the way for racial integration in public schools. But there's an unspoken consequence of this historic moment. Estimates show 38 thousand Black teachers were fired throughout the integration. This means, the number of Black educators in our public schools dramatically decreased during this time. And that number has never gone back up. This has left a huge void in our public schools. That’s why it’s so important we uplift Black leaders working in education today. After 1954, a new podcast from Lemonada Media hosted by Aimée Eubanks Davis, is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

    Alua Arthur is a death doula, but her work has taught her how to live. She talks about walking away from unfulfilling work, pursuing joy and how to have hope when you're facing the end of life. This week’s practice is about asking yourself: What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?

Wish I could recommend recent offerings!

I’m a psychotherapist and, in the earlier offerings of this podcast, I frequently recommended clients tune in and listen up! Sadly, I keep trying to do the same and for reasons I do not understand, I haven’t referred folks for many months, maybe a year. It was excellent while it lasted. Truly, so appreciated. For the body of work that is available, I recommend listening again and again. I imagine there are many important reasons the continuity of programs and offerings has not been possible. I trust the podcasters and producers in their recommendations for other shows.

LoveD the show

Is it ever coming back? Seems like it’s become a vehicle to advertise different shows?

Truly helpful

Dr. Nzinga is one of the most down-to-earth, compassionate and insightful experts in the field of Addiction Medicine and I love listening to her professional wisdom on everything from strategies for overcoming specific substances/behaviors to the best types of family therapy. Her firm but non-judgmental approach to real life situations inspire a sense of hope and direction for those of us who struggle with addiction or are supporting loved ones who do. One of the most practically helpful resources I’ve found online. Keep it up, Doc! I just wish more episodes were actually In Recovery content and not just ads for other Lemonada shows.
