We welcome Dr. Rachel Maines, Technology Historian, and scientist who, while researching the domestic pleasures of needlework, accidentally became the worlds' foremost expert on the mechanical vibrator and female sexual pleasure when her book "The Technology of Orgasm: 'Hysteria,' Vibrators, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction," became an international bestseller, inspired two movies, a stage play, a rock musical, and an episode of Law & Order.

Bill Cosby is free on a technicality, and women cry injustice. Texas challenges Roe v. Wade, and women plead no justice. We ask J.D. (Juris Doctorate) - Dr. of Law, Dr. of Jurisprudence, and Legal Analyst Tracy A. Pearson if women are victims of implicit bias in law, and if so, what exactly is Justice?

When a sex offender like Bill Cosby gets a premature release from prison — on a technicality. When women’s abortion rights are still up for debate or are revoked by law, we must ask, what century are we living in, and does justice apply equally for women?

Money doesn’t care what sex you are, but money trauma has a gender story. Our conversation with the Founder of What The Finances & Co-founder of The Trauma of Money, Chantel Chapman, shares a chapter in her life that may sound like your own.

"I’m a 56 year old - I founded Gateway Women for all the childless women still out in the cold, feeling they are the only childless women in the world, I do it for the young women who would have been our daughters and those who don’t yet know that motherhood will not happen for them. I do it for the women who went before me with few choices and no support - and for the women yet to come.” Meet Jody Day, author of “Living the Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning and a Fulfilling Future Without Children.”

Lauren Geertsen has helped millions of people heal their relationship with food and body image.

It’s Deja Vu all over again! Throughout August, VIRGIN.BEAUTY.B!TCH will reboot four of our most impactful conversations from 2021. We begin with Jess Weiner; a social activist turned entrepreneur who helped change the image of Barbie and helped Dove — the soap company — see beauty in women of all shapes and sizes.

I’m a single woman. I also have a Ph. D. in rhetoric, so I understand how words work. I decided to put those things together in order to game online dating. Spoiler alert: It worked. I knew full well that this profile would deter 99% of men, and that was fine with me. I didn’t want the 99%; I wanted the 1% that would “get it. Meet Jennie Young, and Scott, the man who got it.

According to eharmony, heterosexual women, age 21, receive the lion's share of attention online. Women in their 20s consistently see the highest rates of incoming messages and likes. Women who are in their mid-20s received 14.4% more messages than did other users, while women who are 33, and older, received the fewest number of messages. We talk with two women on the more mature end of the age scale about dating, online and off, during and after a pandemic.

Single, divorced, or widowed, who doesn’t want LOVE in their LIFE? The real conversation is how to find it. April Davis set up her first successful married couple when she was 16 years old, and today, she’s Founder & President LUMA Luxury Matchmaking, an outsourcing resource for finding The One.
