Pronatalism is an ideology, cultural orientation, and emerging policy framework promoting higher birthrates by framing reproduction as a social duty or moral good. Oftentimes, pronatalism can emphasize certain gender roles and can be rooted in extreme nationalism and patriarchal ideals. Varina Winder, the former Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor in the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State and co-founder of the ARCH Collaborative, sits down to talk with us about the ways in which pronatalist ideology is present in the U.S. and what a true pro-family vision should look like.Increasingly, pronatalism is being driven by governments. The Trump administration, for example, have been manipulating language to advance pronatalist ideology, including describing American women as “under babied” and referring to the expansion of the Global Gag Rule as the “Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance” Act. Government restrictions and cultural interventions are the tools used for pronatalism, and the language (often rooted in a low-fertility and birthrate “crisis”) global administrations use support these tools. For more information, check out Boom!

Dr. Amanda will share insights from both her research findings on women in leadership and her own experiences in the field.  Amanda's Biography: Dr Amanda Sterling is an award-winning consultant who partners with organisations to remove barriers for women into leadership and create inclusive workplaces where people and businesses thrive. Amanda combines her decades of experience working in corporate leadership development and culture change, as well as deep expertise on leadership, gender, and inclusion, to help organisations attract and retain more women in leadership and close their gender pay gaps. Amanda's groundbreaking PhD research (completed in 2023) revealed critical insights into what is still holding women back from leadership roles and the opportunities to address this. Her research has been featured in multiple media channels such as RNZ,  and was highlighted by Global Women and the University of Auckland. Amanda is originally from the Kaipara region but has called Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland home for the last 20 years.

# How I Made It Through Podcast## Episode: Finding Strength Through Sensitivity — A Conversation with Karen Hall**Host:** Bernadette Thompson**Guest:** Karen Hall — Publicist, Publisher, Producer at Momentum Media; Editor-in-Chief of *Global Women's Journal* and *Spanish Journal* (partnered with the *Los Angeles Tribune*); Emotional Intelligence Leadership Coach; Host of *The Hero Within* podcast---## Episode SummaryIn this deeply moving conversation, Bernadette sits down with Karen Hall to explore how early trauma, lifelong sensitivity, and a passion for storytelling shaped a career dedicated to elevating the voices of others. Born two and a half months premature, Karen spent her earliest days in an incubator — an experience that left her with preverbal trauma and an unusually sensitive nervous system. Rather than letting those challenges define her, Karen turned them into fuel for a life of writing, coaching, publishing, and connecting people to their own stories.From selling newspapers as a nine-year-old to coaching Fortune-level CEOs, from writing her first book at eleven to producing global broadcasts with hundreds of speakers, Karen's journey is a testament to what becomes possible when we learn to regulate our nervous systems, reframe our limiting beliefs, and meet ourselves with compassion.---## What You'll Hear in This Episode- How being born prematurely shaped Karen's lifelong journey with anxiety, sensitivity, and the drive to understand the nervous system- Why Karen started writing at age nine — and how journalism became her first path to healing through storytelling- The surprising way her podcast, *The Hero Within*, reached the top 3% globally within three months with no advertising- How Karen went from terrified-to-speak to a TED-style stage in New York with no notes — and what that moment taught her about authentic connection- The accidental birth of her coaching business when sales colleagues started asking, "How are you not afraid to cold call?"- Why every limiting belief, no matter how it shows up, traces back to a wound from the past- How emotional intelligence and co-regulation changed the way she coaches CEOs (one client called her a "CEO whisperer")- The launch of *Global Women's Journal* and the Spanish-language *Latin Journal* — and why creating platforms for underrepresented voices matters- The spiritual dimension of the work: Marianne Williamson's influence, ancestral connection, and seeing ourselves as beings of love- Why Karen reframed "it took me too long to learn this" into "now I have the empathy to help others"---## Key Takeaways**On trauma and the nervous system:** Karen shares how understanding preverbal trauma — trauma that happens before we have words — helped her make sense of why her brain defaulted so easily to fear. Learning to regulate her nervous system became a lifelong practice, and eventually the foundation of her coaching work.**On sensitivity as a strength:** Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and an empath is genetic and real — and it's a gift, not a flaw. The work is learning to channel that sensitivity outward in service of others rather than letting it pull us inward.**On the universal struggle:** Whether someone is a CEO, a first-time author, or a parent, the same question surfaces when we hit a wall: *What's wrong with me?* Karen teaches that nothing is wrong — the amygdala has simply hijacked the prefrontal cortex, and the way back is through self-compassion.**On storytelling:** Everyone has a story, and someone out there needs to hear yours. Platforms, podcasts, and publications matter because they break isolation and remind people they are not alone.**On the spiritual dimension:** When we see ourselves — and others — as beings of love with unmet needs, compassion and forgiveness become natural. Unloving behavior is simply a forgetting.---## Memorable Moments- Karen's mother role-playing newspaper sales pitches with her at age nine — a practice Karen still uses today with her husband and kids before big talks- The New York stage moment where Karen threw away her notes and spoke from the heart for the first time- Being nicknamed "the queen of empathy" by her coaching clients- The realization that her nervous system work gives her something polished coaches without lived experience can't offer: authentic empathy for how long healing actually takes- Bernadette and Karen's shared reflection on ancestors visiting them during their most transformative seasons---## About the GuestKaren Hall is an emotional intelligence leadership coach, publisher, and broadcast producer who has built her life's work around elevating women's voices and helping leaders regulate their nervous systems so they can lead with connection instead of control. She is the host of *The Hero Within* podcast, Editor-in-Chief of *Global Women's Journal* and the Spanish-language *Latin Journal* (in partnership with the *Los Angeles Tribune*), and a mentor to speakers, authors, and CEOs. She has also served for a decade in volunteer ministry work with Native American communities on the Fort Apache and Navajo reservations in Arizona.---## Connect with Karen Hall- **LinkedIn:** Search for "Karen Hall — Queen of Empathy" (a title given to her by her clients)- Karen welcomes connection and would love to hear your story---## Connect with the HostBernadette Thompson is the host of the *How I Made It Through* podcast, an author, and a guide who helps people explore their ancestry and intergenerational stories as part of their healing journey. After losing her husband to alcoholism eight years ago, Bernadette reinvented herself and now helps others navigate grief, transformation, and the spiritual dimensions of coming home to who they truly are. www.tellmeourstory.com---## A Closing Thought*"When you hear stories like Bernadette's guests, you gain hope — because you know: I can make it through too. She did it. He did it. I can do it. And you can do it too."* — Karen Hall---*If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, and subscribe to the* How I Made It Through *podcast for more conversations with people who have walked through the fire and come out with wisdom to share.*

Most organizations were built to reward a very particularstyle of leadership — one that moves fast, projects certainty, and mistakes decisiveness for clarity. And yet what high performing teams actually need looks a lot more like curiosity, psychological safety, and the ability to hold complexity. These are qualities women (and feminine-leaning leaders more broadly) often bring naturally. They're also the ones that organizational systems have historically left undervalued but are now critical to develop in order to keep up with the challenges of the world today.In this episode, guest Darcy Winslow joins Emma Rose and Robin to talk about what it looks like to lead from these qualities and why they're a strategic asset: leading through influence without relying on authority, using emotion as data rather than a liability, engaging with ambiguity, and finding the value of your strengths (and those of others) inside systems that haven't historically been designed to celebrate them. Guest Bio: Darcy Winslow spent 23 years at Nike leading large-scale systems change from the inside, holding senior roles including founding the company's Sustainable Business Strategies, Global Director for Research Design and Development, GM/VP of Nike's Global Women's Footwear, Apparel and Equipment division, and Senior Advisor to the Nike Foundation.She went on to co-found the Academy for Systems Change — focused on advancing awareness-based approaches to economic, social, and ecological wellbeing — and founded the Magnolia Moonshot 2030, a collaborative convening women leaders working at the intersection of climate, deep equity, and conscious leadership. She has also served as a Senior Lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Management and is a board member for The Carbon Underground, The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education, and Regenerative Earth.Learn more about Conversant at https://www.conversant.com/ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn

Dr. Sadia Malick has practiced medicine across four countries. She's delivered babies in the UK's best hospitals and in the mountains of Pakistan where women have nothing. She's founded a charity that's saved 8,000 mothers' lives. And she's spent her career caring for women who are told their suffering is just "the age of despair."Dr. Malick has spent her life caring for women across the UK, Pakistan, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. She founded a charity that trains midwives on clean, sanitary practices and provides lifesaving interventions to pregnant women in rural Pakistan. We discuss why 50% of global maternal deaths happen in just four countries, and how evidence based measures can save lives.We also talk about how menopause presents differently across cultures and populations, the cultural barriers women face when seeking care, and why conversations about hormones and aging remain deeply stigmatized in many regions. While symptoms may vary, what's universal is how much work we still have to do whether it's PCOS and insulin resistance, young cancer survivors entering menopause without follow up care, or ensuring every woman understands why vaginal estrogen matters.This conversation is about cultural humility, global health disparities, and why education about perimenopause needs to start in schools, not at age 40.Highlights:Maternal mortality is concentrated in just four countries, but simple interventions like clean supplies and IV iron can save lives.Menopause symptoms present differently across populations South Asian women experience more joint pain and mood issues than hot flashes.Cultural expectations around fertility and aging create additional barriers for women seeking menopause care.Young cancer survivors are sent home at 23 in menopause with no follow-up care or education about long-term health risks.Vaginal estrogen reduces death risk by 70% and should be part of routine care for women over 40.The average age of suicide for women in the UK is 51, and 70% of divorces happen after menopause.Get in Touch with Dr. Malick:SubstackInstagramLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

This week on The Global Fresh Series, we take a wide-angle look at how rapidly shifting environmental conditions, global demand, and innovation are reshaping the fresh produce landscape.We begin in California, where the state has officially been declared drought-free, marking a major turning point for growers, water policy, and long-term agricultural planning.From there, we travel to Southeast Asia, where surging demand for durian—driven by the Chinese market—is transforming the small rural village of Raub, in Malaysia. Once a quiet agricultural area, Raub is now positioning itself as a global supplier, expanding durian production and opening new export channels to India.We close the episode with a look at innovation closer to home, as four new potato varieties are introduced to the market—highlighting how plant breeding, consumer preferences, and adaptability continue to drive opportunity in staple crops.From climate resilience to exotic fruit demand and varietal innovation, this episode captures the interconnected forces shaping the future of global fresh produce.

Ep 150 Description:  “Pleasure is not a luxury. It is not a distraction. It is a human right. And reclaiming it—in childbirth, in healthcare, in life—is a path toward healing,  well-being, and activism.” —Debra Pascali Bonaro   Our bodies are intricate landscapes of sensation, where hormones dance, nerves communicate, and physiological responses intertwine in ways we're only beginning to understand. And these same pathways that create sexual pleasure are remarkably active during childbirth, challenging centuries of medical narratives that have reduced this transformative moment to a clinical, painful procedure.  This week, Debra discusses her landmark article, Orgasmic Birth: The Anatomy of Pleasure in Childbirth, published in Frontiers in Global Women's Health Journal, delving into the science of orgasmic birth, systemic obstetric violence, reproductive justice, hormonal landscapes of pleasure, the anatomy of childbirth, cultural narratives of pain, bodily autonomy, and the transformative potential of reclaiming women's birthing experiences.

Hey EYV Fam! In today's episode of Embracing Your Voice, I'm sitting down with Gwen Young - CEO of the Women Business Collaborative (WBC) and visiting scholar at George Washington University. Gwen's career journey is incredible, from humanitarian work to global development to leading the charge for women's leadership across industries.We get into some real talk about why women's voices (especially women of color) are still underrepresented in leadership spaces, and what it's going to take to change that. If you're passionate about building a better, more equitable future, you're going to love this one.What We Cover:How Gwen's early experiences - like attending a women's college -shaped her passion for leadershipWhat working in humanitarian crises taught her about women's voices and global leadershipWhy women need a seat at every table (not just one)What's actually happening in the C-suite today and why diversity numbers still lag behindThe real barriers women face when climbing the leadership ladderHow mentorship, sponsorship, and building strong networks can change the game for womenAction steps organizations (and all of us) can take to create more pathways to leadershipTimestamps:00:00 – Kicking things off02:00 – Meet Gwen Young06:30 – Gwen's early leadership influences10:15 – Lessons from humanitarian work15:20 – Why women's representation matters across every sector21:00 – The state of women in leadership today27:45 – Why women of color still face the steepest hurdles34:10 – How networks, mentorship, and sponsorship make a difference41:20 – Real ways organizations can step up48:00 – Final thoughts + my takeawaysIn this episode, I'm chatting with Gwen Young, someone who has spent her career pushing for real change when it comes to women's leadership.We kick things off by talking about Gwen's time at Smith College and how being in a women-centered environment shaped her belief that women belong at the decision-making table. From there, we dive into her humanitarian work and the experiences that made her realize how differently women experience crises, leadership, and opportunity.We also talk about what's going on in corporate America today: yes, we've made progress, but there's still a big gap - especially for women of color. Gwen breaks down the systemic barriers that are still holding women back, like microaggressions, a lack of networks, and missed opportunities for professional development.One of my favorite parts of our conversation? When Gwen talks about building the “women's old girls' network” a powerful, supportive network that can rival the “old boys' clubs” that have existed forever.There's so much good stuff in here about mentorship, sponsorship, leadership programs, and how organizations can actually move the needle - not just talk about it.If you care about women's advancement, leadership, and making sure ALL women have the chance to lead, you're going to walk away from this episode fired up and ready to take action.Guest Info:Gwen K.
