July 15, 2021 Fierce Self Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive
Have you been struggling this past year, wondering how you're going to get through it? Maybe feeling lost, down, shame blame, and guilt. Well, have you tried a little self-compassion yet?

There's no one better to discuss this topic with than Dr. Kristen Neff. Dr. Neff received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley and is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

During Kristin’s last year of graduate school, she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation in the Insight Meditation tradition ever since. While doing her postdoctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically.

Today we talk gender roles, her brand of "feminism meets self-help," and dive into her books, including her latest, Fierce Self Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.

June 17, 2021 Starting The First-Ever Online Clinic for Women in Menopause
The M-word is back again this episode: Menopause.

The way we talk about it menopause is changing, from even 5-10 years ago.

Gennev's mission is to help this change: "It started with a simple survey to 1,500 women in perimenopause and post-menopause. Our goal was to learn what solutions women used to find relief from their menopause symptoms. Instead, we learned that women weren’t prepared for menopause, they were embarrassed, they felt dismissed by their doctors, they felt alone. Women told us to start the conversation."

Gennev is now also an online clinic for the second half of your life … starting with menopause.

At the forefront of this organization is Jill Angelo. Now the CoFounder & CEO of Gennev, Jill Angelo spent 20 years in technology at Microsoft in Product Marketing and Chief of Staff to the CMO roles. She left her corporate career to re-image women’s health in the second half of life. Jill is a frequent speaker on femtech, women’s health, and entrepreneurship.
