Send us a text Can gender discrimination still be such a pervasive issue despite being outlawed since 1964? This episode takes a deep dive into the ongoing struggles women face in the workplace, from pay gaps and microaggressions to sexual harassment. Join us as we unravel a 2023 meta-analysis that reveals a staggering 50% of women have experienced sexual harassment at work. We expose the harsh realities in male-dominated fields like construction and policing, where outdated stereotypes wrongly paint women as too emotional for the job, overlooking their undeniable resilience and strength. Shifting to the medical field, we spotlight the unique challenges female professionals encounter. Hear Marissa’s firsthand experience with gender discrimination in therapy, and learn why female therapists are in higher demand despite equal qualifications. This bias isn't limited to therapy; it extends to doctors and nurses too. Particularly in obstetrics and gynecology, female doctors often face subtle, yet impactful, biases from older nurses, while male doctors enjoy preferential treatment. We also shed light on the camaraderie among midwives as a beacon of hope in an otherwise biased system. Parenting while working—especially for mothers—comes with its own set of double standards. From the starkly different recognitions given to male and female pilots to the societal expectations that force women to bear the brunt of childcare responsibilities, the episode reveals the multifaceted nature of gender bias in professional and personal realms. Listen to stories of trailblazers like Geri in the funeral industry, who had to fight for her place in a male-dominated field, and consider the broader implications of these biases on achieving true gender equality.

Send us a text What if the world’s most celebrated athletes were being unfairly targeted because of misunderstandings? Today, we tackle the controversy surrounding Algerian boxer Imani Khalif, who clinched Olympic gold amid false accusations by public figures like JK Rowling, Trump, and Elon Musk. Join us as we set the record straight about Khalif's gender and dive into the complex issues of natural genetic advantages in sports. We also discuss the critical need for responsible social media behavior, particularly by influential individuals, and the profound effects their baseless claims have on real people's lives. Social media has transformed the way we communicate, but at what cost? We examine the troubling rise of internet-fueled bullying and the erosion of civility in modern discourse. The anonymity of social media has given rise to a culture where people feel empowered to share hurtful opinions without consequence. Through personal anecdotes and the de-influencing trend, we highlight the importance of authenticity and self-awareness in a world obsessed with curated online personas. We delve into the mental health implications of public criticism, exploring how influential figures' comments can significantly impact the people they target. As summer winds down, we shift gears to the joys and anxieties of expecting a new baby. From the comfort of living in a childhood room to the anticipation of beach days and boardwalk adventures, we reflect on the beauty of a relaxed summer break. We also champion a friend's custom jewelry business, ANIN NYC, discuss the significance of birthstones, and look forward to post-pregnancy treats like spicy margaritas. With a touch of humor and heartfelt advice, we encourage you to take a self-care day and make the most of the remaining summer days before the busy season of September begins.

Send us a text Breastfeeding offers an astonishing array of health benefits, but why does it often come with emotional and physical hurdles? Join us as we unpack the dualities of breastfeeding, from immunity boosts for your baby to the psychological tolls on moms. We're here to challenge the societal expectation of exclusive breastfeeding for four months, showing that maternal mental health is just as crucial. Through candid personal stories, we reveal how struggles like low milk production can lead to feelings of guilt and worthlessness, and why the mantra "fed is best" holds value. Imagine feeling isolated and overwhelmed, juggling the demands of a newborn while facing unrealistic body image expectations. We explore these tough realities, sharing firsthand experiences with latch issues, pain, and low milk supply. Whether it's direct breastfeeding or exclusive pumping, the journey is far from straightforward. Learn how managing expectations can alleviate stress, and why an honest conversation is needed about the imbalance of responsibilities that new mothers often encounter. Curious about how societal norms have shifted over the decades? Geri shares her experiences from the late '80s and early '90s when formula feeding became more mainstream due to career demands. From public breastfeeding to weaning off bottles and pacifiers, Geri's insights underline the significance of a non-judgmental approach to parenting. Closing with a heated exchange between healthcare providers about prioritizing patient safety over breastfeeding, we emphasize the importance of respecting patient choices. Don’t miss this enlightening and supportive dialogue on maternal health and the complexities of feeding choices.

Send us a text What if the wounds we cannot see are the most debilitating? This episode dives deep into the pervasive and destructive impacts of sexual violence on women's physical, reproductive, and psychological health.

Send us a text Navigating the sensitive terrain of domestic violence intersecting with pregnancy and motherhood is no easy task. Imagine being a healthcare professional grappling with infertility while surrounded by the constant reminders of pregnancy at your workplace. This week's episode begins with a listener's heartfelt story that captures this emotional struggle, setting the stage for a broader discussion on the unique anxieties faced by healthcare professionals during their own pregnancies. We highlight how social media can both alleviate and exacerbate these anxieties, emphasizing the importance of filtering content to maintain a positive mindset. Domestic violence is more than just physical harm; it involves emotional manipulation, financial control, and isolation, which collectively have severe psychological and physical repercussions. We unpack recent studies and statistics to stress the critical need for specialized healthcare and support systems for survivors. Creating safe, non-judgmental environments for victims is paramount, and mental health professionals play a crucial role in helping them rebuild self-worth and navigate the complexities of leaving abusive relationships. This episode also examines the bureaucratic hurdles in divorce proceedings, particularly between the US and UK, and how these can further traumatize those trying to escape abusive situations. Empowerment through financial independence is a recurring theme as we delve into the less obvious forms of abuse, such as financial control. We share personal anecdotes and practical advice to help listeners recognize red flags and strive for equal financial partnership in their relationships. Wrapping up the episode, we offer a heartfelt apology for a previous communication mishap and express our gratitude for the support from our growing community. Stay tuned for a special segment next week as we continue to engage with and support our listeners.

Send us a text You might think a commencement speech is just another run-of-the-mill event, but not when controversial comments about gender roles by NFL player Harrison Butker take center stage. We dissect the outdated views presented at Benedictine College's graduation, challenging the notion that women's ultimate goal should be marriage and motherhood at the expense of their professional aspirations. We're here to put the spotlight on respecting women's diverse paths to fulfillment and the critical need for self-reliance. So, if you've ever found yourself frustrated with gendered expectations, you're in the right place. Let's face it, the traditional 'husband can't boil water' trope is as stale as last week's bread. In our episode, we tackle the myth of gendered incompetence and the silent labor of 'fixing' a partner's mistakes. We advocate for teaching our sons just as much about managing a household as we do our daughters, aiming for a future where domestic responsibilities don't fall on one person's shoulders. Imagine a world where 'husband training' isn't a thing because we've all learned to handle life's basics, regardless of gender. Stick with us, and let's explore these changing dynamics together. We also highlight the valuable evolution of resources that help us navigate our children's emotional landscapes. Peer into the future with us as we tease the next season of our podcast, where we'll share more candid conversations on parenthood, life's unexpected turns, and yes, maybe even enjoy a margarita or two in our new home. Join the discussion where personal choice and understanding children's emotions are celebrated, and where society's one-size-fits-all narrative is left behind.

Pregnancy not only brings a baby but a parade of unsolicited advice, and we're candidly opening up about it all. Remember Bridget, that time you danced with baby Jack at a Christmas party? We'll tell you about the uproar it caused, and we'll also dissect the strange sense of ownership others feel about commenting on pregnant bodies. We're taking down those boundary-crossing moments, one laugh at a time. Plus, you'll get an inside look at the delivery room where birth plans often fly out the window and you're left navigating the unpredictable whirlwind of labor. As we wrap up this Mother's Day special, we send a giant hug to all the mothers, fathers, and caregivers out there. From the complexity of going from one child to two to the unexpected humor of considering childbirth a "break," every story shared is a step toward building our community of listeners. If you've ever wondered how a c-section mom handles a toddler or are curious about the truths behind labor inductions, we've got the stories that'll have you nodding in agreement or doubled over in laughter. Share your own journey with us, and let's keep this conversation as lively as a family gathering—diaper changes, and all!

As we chart the landscape of intuitive eating, you'll discover how to decode the signals your body sends, paving the way to a healthier, more vibrant you. Ever feel like you're on the losing end of a battle with food guilt and restrictive diets? We're flipping the script, busting the myths of forbidden fruits (or roll-ups, in this case) to forge a new narrative where food is neither a foe nor a mere fuel but a friend. With laughter as our companion, we navigate the emotional and psychological terrain of eating, learning to honor hunger and savor satisfaction without the baggage of the "food police." This episode isn't just about what we put on our plates; it's about the holistic tapestry of health—where hormones dance in harmony with diet and lifestyle, and where medications like Ozempic are demystified. Join us as we unravel the threads of gentle nutrition and honor our bodies' wisdom, planting the seeds for a nourished life, rich with the joys of food as nature intended.
