February 26, 2020 Merle: "One doesn't feel powerful alone, one feels powerful because we feel connected to the world and the people around us".
In this episode cognitive neuroscientist and mother of four, Merle Fairhust, reminds us that we experience and make sense of the world through our bodies. She shares her passion for music and how blessed she feels for the people in her life.
Merle talks about coming from a long line of powerful women and having learnt from her grandmother to find a balance between strength & softness.
She is also very vocal on how important it is to create realistic roadmaps for oneself, as well as asking for help and “holding each others hands”.
Most of all, she highlights the pivotal role that new female generations have to "inspire action" and sets herself to help empowering others.

February 23, 2020 Merle: "Ich habe es geschafft"
Die Kognitiv-neurowissenschaftliche Forscherin und Mutter von vier Kindern, Frau Prof. Dr. Merle Fairhurst, spricht vom Aufwachsen in Südafrika, ihrer Liebe zur Musik und von weiblichen Vorbildern, die sie inspiriert haben. Sie erinnert daran, wie wesentlich es ist, dankbar zu sein und daran Erwartungen abzuwägen. Sie betont, dass jeder Mensch Unterstützung braucht - „allein macht man nichts“ - und wie wichtig es ist um Hilfe zu bitten. Vor alledem ist sie aber mit Begeisterung dabei die nächste Generation von Frauen zu „empowern“ und hat dabei eine äußerst optimistische Sicht auf das Leben.

February 22, 2020 Ursula: " I am lesbian feminist"
In this episode you will be taken into a journey to Ursula Neubauer's life. From her childhood, to the feminist movement in Munich, till her current job. She emotionally talks about the special affection for her grandmother "who was really something" and the time when she joined the team of Lillemors Frauenbuchladen. Opened since 1975, it is the first bookshop in Germany promoting female authorship, and still a special meeting point for women in Munich. ----
In her own words:
"I am a Lesbian Feminist. I was born 1946 in a little village in Bavaria. My parents and all my family were refugees and came from Sudetenland/Czechoslovakia after World War II. We moved so often to different cities in Germany that I can't count them all. I changed schools and ended up in Munich in 1963. I was trained as an insurance agent. I found this profession terrible!
In my youth I travelled a lot all over the world: From Europe to Alaska to Panama and so on and I lived in Chicago (USA) from 1970-1972. Back in Munich I had a very well paid job in medicine PR. In 1974 I got in contact with the women's movement in Munich, met the ladies from Lillemors Frauenbuchladen and since 1979 I work there. I never regretted my decision and I still love what I'm doing“.
