They also discuss their long friendship and what it's like being a female leader in a male-dominated world!

This week, we're talking about repro. Again. Because somehow politicians and pundits still don't understand that it's not just about abortion – although abortion rights are critical. It's also about birth control, IVF, and all of the other potentially life-saving procedures that are on the chopping block this year. Some of us may have been surprised when Roe v Wade was overturned but we refuse to be surprised again. We can't stop talking to everyone we know about it in this pivotal election year.Then we're joined by Asha Dahya, a storyteller, TEDx speaker, and producer of a new documentary about later abortion called Someone You Know. Asha shares what she learned about later abortions while working on the film, including the outsized effect that Catholic hospitals have on the availability of reproductive care in this country. As a former conservative evangelical, Asha has been on a journey and she's a great example of the power of personal stories to change minds.Finally, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to the Ukraine aid bill passing and to being chosen as a Biden delegate in this week's Toast to Joy.If you want to learn more about Project 2025 and what you can do, we encourage you to check out our explainer page here.And don't forget to sign up for our Substack newsletter!

One in four women in the United States will have an abortion–and that doesn't even take into account trans men and nonbinary people. The barriers to care and stigma attached to these people is so unfair, and so crushing. Our guest this week is Asha Dahya. Asha is a filmmaker trying to break that stigma and tear down those barriers with her new short film “Someone You Know.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Become a Patreon for access to bonus content and to support the podcast, or buy me a (metaphorical) coffee * In this episode, I speak with one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time, Lauren Fleshman. Throughout her career, Lauren saw how the sports systems - originally designed by men, for men and boys - continued to fail young women and girls as much as empower them. Girls drop out of sports at alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female collegiate athletes routinely fall victim to injury, eating disorders or mental health struggles as they try to force their way past a natural dip in performance for women of their age. Lauren isn't just changing the system by breaking records, but also by speaking out about the inequitable systems of competitive sport and the need to rebuild them with women at their center. Some topics we cover include: The benefits of sports for women and girls How the sports system was designed for male athletes – and spectators – and what that means for women The physical and psychological toll of unrealistic body standards placed on female athletes – and all women The continued sexualization of female athletes Lauren's first-hand experience of these inequities, and how she is fighting back Lack of representation in leadership and coaching positions – what makes it hard to gain equality, and why it matters How athletes today – especially women of color – are speaking out and changing the norms And more!

Become a Patreon for access to bonus content and to support the podcast, or buy me a (metaphorical) coffee * In this episode, I speak with Reshma Saujani – a leading activist, lawyer, politician, and the founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First (previously Marshall Plan for Moms). Reshma has spent more than a decade building movements to fight for women and girls' economic empowerment, working to close the gender gap in the tech sector, and most recently advocating for policies to support moms impacted by the pandemic. In our conversation today we focus on her most recent work with Moms First, a national movement to center mothers in the economic recovery from the pandemic and value their labor. They advocate for public and private sector changes to expand choices for women and to remove barriers to equality. Some topics we cover include: What it takes to be an activist driving change, and Reshma's own journey as a changemaker The current lack of infrastructure for women to both work and be mothers – from unaffordable childcare to non-existent maternity (and paternity) leave How this lack of infrastructure in a post-Roe America is forcing women into poverty The absurdity of new moms breastfeeding in closets at work How, since World War II, workplaces were never built with women in mind Why the key to the fight for gender equality is in the ways society does - or doesn't - support its mothers All the ways moms have been gaslit into thinking these issues are personal for them to solve alone, and how the pandemic exposed this myth, shining a light on the broken system Why it's time for moms to demand more from their governments and employers And more!

She was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize for this work, making her the first Yemeni, the first Arab woman, and the second Muslim woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the youngest Nobel Peace Laureate at the time, at the age of 32. Tawakkol is just one of the many women that have been at the forefront of this revolution, peacefully leading the path to freedom and democracy. Yemen is in the middle of one of the worst humanitarian crises of modern times which stems from the counter-revolution to the Arab Spring, waged by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iran. Despite this, Tawakkol remains hopeful for the future of her country and the region, asserting that Yemeni people will continue their peaceful resistance until they “reach to the destiny of democracy.” Some topics we cover include: What Yemen was like in the years leading up to the Arab Spring, and the progress that has been made since Tawakkol's pivotal role in the movement as a journalist who exposed human rights abuses and mobilized weekly demonstrations against the government Her arrest for this work, and how it had the opposite effect of what the government intended The counter revolution led by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iran - and how it led to one of the worse humanitarian crises of modern times Women's pivotal role in the Arab Spring uprisings, and the ongoing revolution What makes Tawakkol proud to be a woman, and to be Yemeni What keeps Tawakkol hopeful for the future of her country and the region Transcription is available here Changemakers: How women make change happen This is the first episode of the new Changemakers series which explores how women make change happen from those at the top helping to drive it.

Jess is also the Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding and a fierce defender of women and girls, especially when it comes to men's violence against women, domestic abuse, sexual and reproductive health, childcare, and maternal and paternal rights. Every year, Jess she reads out the names of UK women killed by men in the year since the last International Women's Day. She also advocates for a greater participation in politics from ordinary citizens, making the case that, “The greatest trick ever played by the powerful was to convince the population that we couldn't change things, when the truth is that we can,” in her new book The Life of an MP: Everything You Really Need to Know About Politics. Some topics we cover include: Why Jess decided to run for office, and what it's like to work for the government The challenges she faces as a woman advocating for women's rights in a male-dominated space The huge role women having less power and control than men plays in men's violence against them How important politics is in all of our personal lives Why we need more women in government - and in all places decisions are being made Power, and why women shouldn't be afraid to try and get it Transcription is available here Changemakers: How women make change happen This is the first episode of the new Changemakers series which explores how women make change happen from those at the top helping to drive it.

After the Taliban returned to power in August of 2021, the question on everyone's mind was ‘What's going to happen to all the women and girls now?' Zarifa has answers. From 2018 until August 2021, Zarifa was mayor of the Maidan Wardak province, located in the heart of Taliban territory. During her tenure, an extremist mob barred her from her office, her male staff walked out in protest, assassins tried to kill her six times, and they even took the life of her father in 2020. Despite all of this, Zarifa ended corruption in the province, promoted peace, and worked to lift women and girls up. In this episode, we discuss what is the reality for women and girls in Afghanistan, her journey to becoming mayor and what keeps her hopeful for the future. Some topics we cover include: The typical life of a woman in Afghan society - from birth through death Zarifa's journey from decision to stand for mayor to taking office, and the extremist mob that tried to stop her How Afghan women have been the ones driving changes all along What makes Zarifa most proud of the women and girls in Afghanistan, and her optimism of the future Zarifa speaks directly to all of those still in Afghanistan, including the men She also speaks directly to the foreign powers behind the Afghan wars, and to everyone outside of the country, sharing how we can help Transcription is available here Changemakers: How women make change happen This is the first episode of the new Changemakers series which explores how women make change happen from those at the top helping to drive it.

268 How Our Authenticity And Identity Shifts Over Time Have you ever made a decision that conflicted with beliefs you once had? It's always a troubling feeling when change comes around, we question ourselves, our intelligence, our society, our parents, and everything that shaped us into who we are. Which is why it is so important to not just ourselves but to other people in our lives to remain fluid and open minded. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Asha Dahya discuss how our authenticity is always changing and evolving with us, and how it is incredibly important to embrace this portion of our humanity and learn to grow and accept ourselves and our own changes. Highlights Authenticity is about being comfortable in your skin and values regardless of how uncomfortable the situation you're in is. Finding what keeps you passionate. Finding your what and why. Amplifying the stories that matter. Quotes “Anytime I got to do things like that, talk about this is how I used to think and now this is where I am and this is what I'm doing with my passion. It made me feel much more empowered because I knew I had a goal, rather than “oh I just changed my mind on something.”.” “But I think once we give space for us to make those decisions and also permission to fail, it's okay to fail and make the wrong decisions and work out how to get back on track. All of those things, we deserve to have in our lives.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you had an opportunity to amplify a specific story from your life, that you know other people have experienced and would find great comfort and inspiration in, what would that story be? And, as always, thank you for listening.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Interested in No Longer Virtual?

Today, I approach the subject of abortion with a (somewhat) open mind. I appreciate the fact that this is a divisive topic, and my hope is to relieve some of the pressure on the subject so that we can address the practical issues that are related to reproductive care. As someone who believes that it should a person's choice whether or not they have a child, I am committed to taking action to maintain that choice, but I am open to listening to and understanding other's opinions.So in my attempt to keep an open mind, I share two TedxTalks by women who are holding space for non-divisive conversations around this subject. Staying true to my own need to keep fighting for the right to choose, I share a Ted Talk that gives hope and suggestions for what to do when Roe is overturned. Finally, I share Ted Talk that has nothing to do with abortion or reproductive rights, but it's as a reminder that life is complicated, people are complicated and their stories are not single nor straightforward, so let's keep an open mind as we have these discussions. Plus a little New Moon wisdom...TedxTalk by Asha Dahya, Journalist and women's rights activist; founder/editor of GirlTalkHQ.com, presents: “Reframing Reproductive Rights: Going Beyond Pro-Choice vs Pro Life” Asha shares her big idea surrounding what it would it look like if we took the most divisive topic in America and changed the narrative beyond pro-choice and pro-life?Ted Talk The End of Roe v. Wade by Kathryn Kolbert, Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision protecting people's right to have an abortion in the United States, will be overturned within a year, says reproductive rights attorney Kathryn Kolbert. In this electrifying call to action, she breaks down the systematic attack against reproductive freedom in the US and envisions what a post-Roe world could look like. "First, we've got to build a badass social justice movement," she says.And just for reference, TedxTalk by Pro-Life Feminist Deanna Wallace. (not listened to on the show)TedxTalk about "wholelife" principles, the precursor to "pro-life" and what's been left out of it today by Khadija Garrison Adams, former missionary, master storyteller and Black breastfeeding champion Khadija Garrison Adams talks about the ways that fear of pregnancy impacts people who aren't unmarried young adults, unpacks how our understanding of the pro-life movement is based on a faulty version of its history and how it's origin story is ripe for building a third way in the conversation - a way that could be led by a group ignored by pro-life and pro-choice champions - The Black Church.TED Talk The Danger of a Single Story by novelist and author of We Should All Be Feminists Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person, we risk a critical misunderstanding.Maternal Mortality StatsStories for Choice from the TMI ProjectAnd finally, here's your Moon report.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr'Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

Asha Dahya was a happy evangelical when she moved to LA from Australia. But the politics of the Religious Right led her out of the faith. Indian by ethnicity, British-born, Australian raised, and living in the USA since 2008, in a few short years she has become a reproductive rights activist, editor in chief of a feminist website, and author of a new book on women who are changing the world in extraordinary ways.
Asha Dahya is a journalist, a Ted X speaker, host, and author. She was born in England, but spent most of her childhood in Australia. Since a young age, Asha has always been talkative and loved performing. She had aspirations to be an actress, but later found that path was not a good fit. Asha began working as a television host, and suddenly found herself working for some major networks. Once she felt established, she wanted to explore new challenges and opportunities outside Australia, which brought her to Hollywood. The move proved to be difficult, and Asha may have underestimated the challenges she would face in Los Angeles. Down on her luck, Asha longed for a supportive community that she didn’t have here in the U.S. She started the blog Girl Talk HQ as a place for like-minded women to share their stories. Little did Asha know, her media savvy and desire to speak her truth would lead Asha down a new path that would open doors she never expected.
