Why Women Are Taught to Doubt What They Know with Psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora
Women learn early which parts of themselves make other people comfortable. After enough years, that performance can begin to feel like our identity, and the intuition underneath it goes quiet. Dr. Ellen Vora spent much of her life inside that worldview. A Yale- and Columbia-trained psychiatrist, she built her life around science and skepticism. Then, during an acupuncture treatment, Ellen received a message she couldn’t explain away, and it opened a question her training couldn’t answer: When someone dies, does the relationship actually end? That experience forced her to reconsider what she believed about grief, intuition, and the limits of what we can prove. Today, Ellen shares the full story behind her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist’s Case for Magic, and why women are taught to give up essential parts of themselves in order to be taken seriously. She argues that we’ve been missing something, and the way back starts in the body. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How being agreeable and low-maintenance can become a form of self-abandonment - Why women have been taught to distrust their intuition - How to distinguish intuition from anxiety, and the ways the body signals yes and no - Why menopause can represent a rebirth rather than a disappearance - What grief can teach us about continuing relationships with the people we have lost - Why the “witch” archetype has always been connected to women who are no longer easily controlled - Simple ways to become more receptive to meaning, guidance, and magic in everyday life This is a conversation about returning to the parts of ourselves we learned to suppress, and letting life become a little more mysterious and alive.

Is Your Menopause Care Covered? What Insurance Companies Don’t Tell You
What do women need to know about menopause care, menopause treatment, insurance coverage and their rights in the workplace? Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, attorney, women’s health advocate and author of When in Menopause, joins me to talk about the systems surrounding perimenopause and menopause that most of us never think about until we need them. Jennifer has spent years fighting for women, from helping lead the movement to end the tampon tax to advocating for better menopause care, research, treatment access and workplace protections. In this conversation, we break down what is changing, where women are still falling through the cracks and what we can actually do about it. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why menopause care and treatment still aren’t uniformly covered by health insurance - Why vaginal estrogen isn’t currently covered by Medicare - What states are doing to expand access to menopause treatment - What rights women actually have when it comes to menopause in the workplace - Why workplace accommodations without discrimination protections can be complicated - What to consider before disclosing menopause symptoms at work - How to better advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office - How to navigate the explosion of menopause supplements, creams and products being marketed to women - Why Jennifer believes better care, education, research and treatment access could make a bigger difference than workplace accommodations alone - How women can get involved in menopause advocacy without becoming policy experts This is one of those conversations that makes you realize how much of the menopause experience is shaped by systems most women have never been taught to think about. The more we understand how they work, the better equipped we are to ask for what we need.

What Every Woman Should Know About Low Libido and the Pink Pill
Why does women's sexual health still get treated as an afterthought, and what would it take to finally change that? Cindy Eckert is the founder and CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals and the woman behind Addyi, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for low sexual desire in women. In this episode, she explains hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), the biological condition behind low libido that affects millions of women and is still routinely dismissed as stress, aging, or a relationship problem. Cindy breaks down why women are told their low libido is emotional while men's sexual health issues are treated as biological, what actually happens in the brain when desire disappears, and the three question checklist she wants every woman to bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also explains why 80% of women who brought up low libido with their doctor were simply told it was normal, and what women's sexual health should actually look like when it's taken seriously. In this episode, you'll learn: - What HSDD is and why it's rooted in biology, not emotion - Why women's sexual health has been dismissed as psychological instead of medical - How the double standard in FDA drug review affects treatments for women - Why 80% of women raising low libido with their doctor are told it's normal - The three questions to ask before accepting "that's just aging" - How Addyi works and who it's for - What changed with Addyi's newest approval for postmenopausal women If you've ever felt like your desire just switched off and been told that's normal, been handed a vague explanation instead of a real answer, or wondered if something is wrong with you instead of your body, this episode will help you understand the biology behind it, so you stop blaming yourself for something that was never your fault. Addyi (flibanserin) is for women under 65 with acquired, generalized HSDD who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past. It is not for men. Full safety information, including boxed warning on alcohol interaction, is available at addyi.com/pi.

Why Does Rejection Feel So Intense? (with ADHD Expert Dr. Sasha Hamdani)
Why do some of us experience rejection, criticism, and disappointment so intensely—and what we can we actually do about it? Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist, ADHD specialist, and author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply. In this episode, she explains rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)—the intense emotional pain triggered by perceived rejection or criticism that affects the majority of people with ADHD, especially women. Dr. Hamdani breaks down why dropping estrogen during perimenopause makes emotional sensitivity worse, what's actually happening in your brain when one comment sends you into a spiral, and the three tools she uses herself to stop it. She also explains why women who've been on antidepressants for years with no relief may have been misdiagnosed—and what high-achieving women look like from the outside vs. what's really going on inside. In this episode, you'll learn: -What rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is and why it's so common in ADHD -How RSD shows up in friendships, relationships, and the workplace -Why perimenopause can make emotions and ADHD symptoms feel harder to manage -Why high-achieving women may hide rejection sensitivity behind perfectionism, overpreparing, and people-pleasing -How to tell the difference between what actually happened and the story your brain created about it -Tools for helping your brain catch up before you react or start spiraling -Why some women treated for anxiety and depression for years may actually need to be evaluated for ADHD -How to start tracking your own patterns before you talk to a professional If you've ever lost an entire night replaying one conversation, convinced yourself someone is upset with you, or felt a wave of shame hit your body before you could even think it through, this episode will help you understand what’s happening between the feeling and the reaction, so your first emotional response doesn’t get to make the decision for you.
