It's time to revisit this amazing episode!

Looking in the mirror and loving what you see can be challenging! That's why Jeannie Mai has invited professional psychotherapist and registered dietician, Dr. Supatra Tovar onto the show to discuss how to celebrate your body through practicing self-compassion and mindfulness. First, Dr. Tovar fills the fam in on what she calls the "hidden disorder" of body dysmorphia and how to combat lookism and weightism, while Jeannie discusses her own triumphs over her own body dysmorphia. Dr. Tovar will also teach methods of breaking negative thought patterns and even walks Jeannie (and you!) through a mini-live meditation to become more aware of the thoughts that fill your mind and how to curate your brain feed!

Introducing The Effort to Reduce Child Marriage in India from The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women (HERO). Follow the show: The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women (HERO)The battle against child marriage around the world seems to be gaining some traction. According to the latest UNICEF data, about 1 in 5 young women between the ages of 20 and 24 were married as children. This represents a 5 percent decrease from a decade ago. 
The negative impact of child marriage is widely documented. Child brides suffer domestic violence more often, drop out of school in greater numbers, and are more likely to experience poverty. Curbing child marriage is a United Nations sustainable development goal.
India accounts for some of the progress. While Indian girls still account for one-third of child brides in the world, the prevalence of child marriage there has declined about 7 percent in the past eight years.
On today’s episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we’ll hear how India has been able to reduce its child marriage rates. First, host Reena Ninan revisits a conversation she had in Season 2 with Mabel van Oranje, the founder of Girls Not Brides and the global movement VOW for Girls. 
Then, journalist Ayushi Shah reports on a girls’ support group organized by the Indian nonprofit Child Rights and You (CRY) in the village of Tondar—and specifically how members of the group help girls resist pressure from their families to marry young. 
The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University.

Introducing Live from SXSW - Moonshot Culture: Innovating to Outdo Yesterday from Science Will Win. Follow the show: Science Will Win Throughout history, humans have coalesced around moonshot culture to achieve audacious goals—from eradicating smallpox, to sequencing the human genome, to landing a spacecraft on Mars. These feats of human ingenuity didn’t happen in a vacuum, they were born from intentional innovation, a “coalition of the willing,” and a vision to outdo yesterday. This fireside chat with Drew Panayiotou, CMO of Pfizer and Devon Still, ex-NFL player and founder of Still Strong Foundation, explores innovations in cancer, their personal experiences with family members needing healthcare treatment, and what it will take to achieve Pfizer's next big moonshot to outdo cancer and achieve its vision, a world where people with cancer live better and longer lives. This episode was recorded live in Austin, TX on Monday March 11 as part of Pfizer’s takeover of the South by Southwest podcasting lounge.  The Let's Outdo Cancer Campaign aims to focus on advances in fighting against cancer.
