  • 88: The Magic Of Being Offline - Sílvia Mota

    How often have you used your smartphone or any other mobile device today already? Minutes, hours? Do you even know? When was the last time you were completely offline and disconnected from the digital world?

    Exactly … to be honest, I cannot remember either. So, maybe it is time to take a break?

    This is exactly what the offline club wants to achieve.

    Silvia Mota is a host of the offline club events and she is going to tell us everything there is to know.

  • 87: Healing Through Boxing - Dieiny Crestani

    The world of martial arts is not very welcoming for women. It can be very intimidating to go to a place full of men who punch each other. This is why, girls or women often shy away from this category of sports. Which is very unfortunate, because boxing, kickboxing or any kind of martial art can be fun, empowering and a great workout for your body and mind.

    Safe spaces for women to practice martial arts are rare. But now, there is Knockout Ladies in The Hague.

  • 86: Emancipation For Men - Iline Ceelen & Edward van der Vliet

    In this podcast, we talk a lot about gender equality,

    empowerment and gender norms. But of course, we cannot look at feminism without also looking at masculinity. Or rather toxic masculinity, which affects all of us, regardless of our gender.

    And to dismantle harmful gender norms, it is also crucial to

    bring men on bord with us. Which is why, today, we also have a man as a guest on this podcast.

    Edward van der Vliet and Iline Ceelen are both involved with

    a Dutch organisation called emancipator that wants to change our society’s ideas of men and masculinity.

  • 85: Supporting Unemployed Immigrants - Shea Harty

    Remember what it was like for you when you came to the Netherlands? When you had to get settled and needed to find a job? For some of us it is rather easy, for others it is really hard. For migrants who are not familiar with the Dutch or any European labour market there are many challenges to face. Often they apply and apply but only receive rejections without knowing the reason.

    Shea Harty is the founder of Empowerment foundation that

    strives to empower people to change their circumstances from surviving to thriving.

  • 84: Dealing With Loss And Grief - Carin Hafkamp

    Today's episode is going to touch on a topic that affects us all at some point in our lives – grief and loss. But even though it is omnipresent in all of our lives, we rarely talk about it. Death is something that scares us, that we rather do not talk about. My guest for today Carin Hafkamp, has chosen to become a grief and loss coach to guide and support individuals through this challenging process. To remind some that in all the darkness there can also be light again.

  • 83: The Future Of Healthcare Is Reusable - Dieuwertje Drexhage

    The global medical world produces an enormous amount of waste every day. Mostly by using disposable equipment. But what if there was another way? What if there was a chance to make medical equipment reusable?

    Dieuwertje Drexhage is one of the founders of Layco Medical

    Devices and it is her goal to make the medical world more sustainable. And that could even have an impact on women specifically – not only in the Netherlands – but globally.

  • 81: Rescueing Animals From Crisis Zones - Esther Kef

    In a conflict, in a war or in a crisis it is oftentimes those who are innocent who suffer the most. But the ones that are the most innocent are often overlooked and forgotten. Wars, conflicts and natural disasters affect animals as much as they affect human beings. But they have even less of a chance to fend for themselves or verbalize their pain or demand their needs to be catered to.

    Luckily, there are people like Esther Kef and her organization animal heroes, that make sure that the animals of this world are not forgotten.

  • 80: HER Film Festival: Movies For Female Empowerment - Sabine Brusse

    Today, we're diving into the magic of the HER Film Festival

    Amsterdam – an event that amplifies the voices and visions of women filmmakers and highlights films about women and their so far often untold, unique stories.

    It's more than just a film festival; it's a celebration of

    creativity, resilience, and the power of women worldwide.

    Sabine Brusse from Simavi organizes the event and she is

    going to talk about her favorite stories, the position of women worldwide and why an event like HER Film Festival is still necessary and important. These days maybe more than ever.

  • 79: How To Get Better Sex - Heidy van de Velde

    There is the gender pay gap. The gender pension gap. The gender funding gap. The gender health gap. The gender investment gap. The gender wealth gap. And there is also a gender orgasm gap.

    During heterosexual sexual encounters, women have far fewer orgasms than men. And often we are being told that this is just the way it is and that some women simply cannot have an orgasm.

    The world is acting like a female orgasm was a myth and it was rocket science to get her there as it is basically as complex as an open heart surgery.

    Well, it is not. And women’s pleasure is just as important as men’s pleasure.

    And luckily, there are people like Heidy van de Velde who remind us of that and who help women to set boundaries during sex but at the same time demand the highest possible pleasure for themselves.
