Tissa Hami literally came to America from Iran as a child and with only the clothes on her back.  (Okay, her suitcase was lost by the airline, but that initiation was telling.)  From an Ivy League education to Wall Street to stand up comedy, Tissa has a unique perspective that she brings to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consulting.   Host Ingrid Sthare is the catalyst for a no holds barred conversation about sexism, racism and marginalization.   Bigotry.  How do we spot it?  How can we take steps to be more inclusive?  This segment lifts the curtain on the dilemma and offers some solutions.

It starts with very subtle, simple things. And then controlling behavior can escalate. Many women, and men as well, get trapped and attempt to leave seven times before escaping.

Domestic violence can creep up on you. This segment could save your life. Or a friend’s.

Dr. Katie Schubert, sex therapist, emphasizes “Society has many shameful messages about sex.”  She adds, “The goal is to normal and enjoy sex.  It is part of our life – to be explored, respected, loved.”  Dr. Schubert offers a number of surprising insight on the topic that many want to hear about, but may be unwilling to talk candidly about.  Example, typically men only seek help when there is serious problem. On the other hand, women are more proactive.   This no judgement zone interview underscores that sex – good, bad, meaningless, deeply loving – are all acceptable among consenting adults.   Podcast host Ingrid Sthare shines light and leads the interview with honesty and candor.

You are NOT alone.  You are not hopeless. Sexually abused?
