On the Well Woman Show today I interview Danielle Slupesky. Danielle is a certified End of Life Coach and Death Doula. She takes a non-judgmental, heart-centered approach to working with those who are thinking about, preparing for, and near the end of their lives. She offers non-medical, practical, emotional, spiritual and physical support to the dying, as well as to their caregivers and loved ones. Through public education and community engagement her goal is normalize conversations surrounding death, grief and loss. She aims to desterilize and demedicalize death and the dying process. After a near death experience in 2013, Danielle says, "I came back with a mission. I want to bring death back home. Back into the hands and hearts of our families and communities. Death, like birth, need not be a medical event. You've prepared for this journey your entire life. Embark without fear and full of love. We discuss today: No one makes it out of here alive - lets talk about what that means and how it feels to accept this fact. If you knew you were going to die within three months, what would you focus on or do differently? And how we can bring beauty, ritual and ceremony and sacredness to any space - even a heavily medicalized ICU!

On the Well Woman Show today I interview Dr. Wendy Ellis, Assistant Professor in Global Health and the Founding Director of the Center for Community Resilience at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. I met Dr. Ellis at a summit on early childhood, childcare and workplace policy - one of my all time favorite topics. And when I heard her speak about resilience and her take on the Adverse Childhood Experience model (known as ACES), I just knew I had to have her on the show. While the world, and the US in particular, might be in breakdown, there are leaders that are already rebuilding, and actually facilitating the emergence of a new version of the systems and structures that we not build for or by women and certainly not women of color. Dr. Wendy Ellis is one of those leaders.She is an Assistant Professor in Global Health and the Founding Director of the Center for Community Resilience at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. Dr. Ellis has spent the last fifteen years developing and working to grow a 'resilience movement' to address systemic inequities that contribute to social and health disparities that are often transmitted in families and communities from generation to generation.The Center for Community Resilience seeks to improve the health of communities by enabling cross-sectoral partners to align policy, program and practice to address adverse childhood experiences in the context of adverse community environments--or as Dr. Ellis has coined it "The Pair of ACEs". This innovative framing of ACEs, with an explicit focus on equity and prevention, has had a substantial influence on local initiatives, programs, public health initiatives and local, state and federal policy. Using the Pair of ACEs framing, Building Community Resiliencenetworks have successfully led systems and policy change focused on addressing long-standing economic, social and health disparties by partnering with community, integrating service delivery and building political will for change.The strengths-based approach is aimed at building the infrastructure to disrupt cycles of structural racism, foster equity and promote resilience in communities by improving access to supports and buffers that help individuals 'bounce back' and communities thrive.Leveraging her extensive background in communications, in 2022 Dr. Ellis produced a documentary, “America's Truth: Cincinnati” that follows her team's innovative approach to centering conversations on structural racism that galvanized a resilience movement to foster equity through systems and policy change. Dr. Ellis holds several leadership positions in public health including Chair of the National Academy of Sciences, Enhancing Community Resilience in the Gulf States Committee, Scientific Advisor to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevention and Injury Center and the National Academy's Culture of Health Advisory Board. In 2018 Dr. Ellis was selected as an Aspen Institute Ascend Fellow to support her leadership in developing cross-sector strategies to address childhood trauma, foster equity and build community resilience.‌We discuss:Being unafraid in the face of change.Betting on yourself when it comes to your dreams and goals.andLeading with faith & focus as a leader.As always, all the links and information are at wellwomanlife.com/322showThe Well Woman Show is thankful for support from The Well Woman Academy™ at

Today, we delve into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Adia Gooden, a licensed clinical psychologist focusing on unconditional self-worth, imposter syndrome, and Black women and mental health. And, we'll hear about Gloria Feldt's efforts with Take The Lead and the ambitious goal of achieving gender parity by 2025.  Let's start by talking about the gender gaps in self-esteem and power. These gaps still persist in our society, affecting various marginalized groups, especially women and in particular, Black, Indigenous and women of color. The self-esteem gap refers to the disparity in how individuals perceive their worth and value, and it can have significant implications for personal and professional growth. On the other hand, the power gap refers to the uneven distribution of decision-making authority and influence between genders. As we continue our program today, think about how you would rate your won self esteem and your power, or decision making authority and influence. Is it strong? Is it where you want it to be? One researcher who has been shedding light on this issue is Dr. Adia Gooden. She has focused her work on understanding self-worth and its impact on mental health, particularly among black women. Dr. Gooden's research highlights the unique challenges faced by black women in society and the importance of fostering self-esteem and self-worth for overall well-being. Her work serves as a powerful reminder of the need to address these disparities and to support the leaders doing this work. Now, let's shift our attention to Gloria Feldt, a renowned author and activist who has made it her mission to achieve gender parity by 2025. She co-founded Take The Lead, an organization that empowers women to embrace leadership roles and break through barriers that have held them back. You also may remember her as the former head of Planned Parenthood at the national level. Feldt's efforts have been instrumental in advocating for equal opportunities for women and challenging systemic biases. Join the Power Up Conference and Concert with Gloria Feldt and Take The Lead in Los Angeles! The Power Up Conference and Concert, happening on August 26th, will bring together inspiring speakers, industry leaders, and performers to discuss and celebrate women's empowerment.

This month on the Well Woman Show, we celebrate International Women's Day as well as Women's History Month. The theme of the United Nations Observance of International Women's Day is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”, recognizing and celebrating the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The observance will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, and it will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online gender-based violence. At the IWD commemoration event held at UN headquarters in New York, UN and Member States representatives, technologists, innovators, entrepreneurs, youth, and gender equality activists celebrated the women and girls who are championing the advancement of technology and innovation and their potential as a transformative mechanism for achieving gender equality. The annual event also addressed the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence. According to UN Women, gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. The social and economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation even bleaker. Progress in many areas, including time spent on unpaid care and domestic work, decision-making regarding sexual and reproductive health, and gender-responsive budgeting, is falling behind.

She developed Somatic Writing as a way for her students to become embodied writers. By holistically liberating voice, untethering power and writing stories, they are able experience profound personal connection to their work. By writing and publishing memoirs and performing solo shows, her students become positioned as leaders in emergent culture. This process and praxis is the thirty-year synthesis of her work as a narrative-based master teacher. The emphasis of the work is on retrieving stories held in the body connected to ancestors, trauma, magic, and land. She has worked with well over a thousand people over the last twenty-one years to write memoirs, monologues, and solo shows. Her memoir, Skirting the Binary, is being published in 2023.She says Emergent planetary culture depends upon our ability to reconnect to ancestral wisdom, land, and our bodies. Now is the time to call back and write the stories of our magic.

Over the years, I've interviewed hundreds of high achieving women, from Byron Katie to Dr. Shafali, Elizabeth Lesser and Deepak Chopra's daughter, Mallika Chopra. And you know what the common thread is between all of them? They all do these three things:Engage in a mindfulness practice - this doesn't have to be sitting on a cushion meditating. It can be any meditative activity, such as walking, cooking, dancing or breath work.Identify and prioritize their needs (ie. self care) - this is a daily practice, not just getting a massage once every six months. Seriously, the self care industry has us believe that we need to buy expensive treatments and products in order to practice self care. In reality, we have the ability to identify our needs and take care of them already.Share and grow in a community of women - this can be your circle of friends, but usually you'll need something more structured and a place where you can show up as the woman you want to be (not who people label you as, or who your friends and family think you should be). You show up differently when you are supported to BE the writer, the woman who gets promoted, the leader, the changemaker, the innovator, or whoever it is you are in the world. This is what the Well Woman Academy™ offers.Inside the Well Woman Academy™, you have access to all of the things above that support you to thrive.As always, all the links and information are at wellwomanlife.com/302showGrab your copy of the Well Woman Life® 2023 planner at wellwomanlife.com/plannerThe Well Woman Show is thankful for the support from The Well Woman Academy™ at wellwomanlife.com/academy.

On this week's episode, we're discussing 2023.You're excited to make plans for 2023, right? I'm right there with you.But first, let's talk about 2022. Do you remember the highs and lows? Or is it a bit of a blur? Either way, now is the time to reflect on 2022 - not just because it's a nice mindfulness practice (though it is), but it actually provides the foundation to launch you into 2023.Without this deep reflection, it's near impossible to move forward. Instead we spin our wheels making the same plans year after year and then face the same obstacles we always do. Nothing moves, nothing shifts and nothing changes.That is not what I want for you, friend.But it's not just what I want that matters. It's what the world needs right now. We need smart women - that's you - who have the capacity and support to show up powerfully in 2023 and beyond.

On the well woman show this week, I interview Elizabeth Garland. She is an award-winning composer for film and has performed her piano pieces in the US and abroad. Winner of the 2019 International Piano Guild Composition Competition Special Category Award, 2nd place winner of the International Golden Key Composition Competition, she performed at the World Composer's concert in Vienna in 2018. A well-known composer and performer, Elizabeth Garland's solo piano and the ensemble have been featured in films and documentaries, and she has performed her works in the US and abroad. The 2021 Commissioned Composer for New Mexico, she is the 2019 International Piano Guild Composition Competition Winner, 2021 ArtsHub Fellow, 2021 Virtual Visionaries Grant Recipient, and Urban Enhancement Trust Fund Fellow. “Many people learn to play music. Very few learn to compose,” said Garland. “The skills required to compose and notate music both enhance the knowledge and skill of the player and allow for a much wider range of creativity to be called upon than simply playing standard repertoire. The recognition of the art of composition is crucial to the establishment and preservation of a society's culture,” added Garland. In August 2022, the Golden Key Music Festival of Vienna will celebrate its Fifteenth edition with a series of special events and concerts in Vienna's most prestigious concert halls such as Ehrbarsaal, Haus der Musik, Mozarthaus of Vienna, Salzburg, Beethoven Museum of Baden and the Schloss Esterhazy at Eisenstadt. The Festival combines a unique artistic, performing, and educational experience for professional musicians and students with an exciting vacation for music lovers of all ages. Octavia Rossi Pressley and Natalia Sofia Lopez Hinojosa will perform their original music at Ehrbar Hall in Vienna on August 3rd, as well as a Mozart piece at Mozarthaus in Vienna on August 6th. You can find out more at https://www.goldenkeyfestival.com/vienna-festival/ (Vienna Festival) On the show, we'll discuss: What is the Golden Key Music Festival of Vienna. The impact that performing at a festival has on children and how you get chosen for this festival. How composing music is a part of your culture, and how to embrace it more fully.

On Week 3 of The Well Woman Summer Reset, we explore deep rest for your brain with an exploration of the nervous system and the breath. The past two years have been a challenge for all humans, and you've likely been carrying around a constant sense of anxiety that may be very noticeable or very sneaky. The sneaky type of anxiety can be the hardest to address and it takes tuning in to your body to begin to rest your nervous system. This reset will help. If the body is in fight or flight, then chances are that you may need a system reset. Here are some simple breathing techniques to help you relax, maintain optimal health, and sustain longevity. Meditation #1 Sitting - eyes open: Visual, Touch, Breath Shift attention to looking at one thing in front of you, exquisitely aware of colors and shades with great clarity, see textures and shapes in great detail. Now shift to a soft, diffused visual focus on whatever you're looking at to tune it out. Focus your sharp primary attention on sense of touch. Touch something with your fingertips. Move your fingertips so you can really feel all the nuanced sensations on your fingertips. With your visual focus remaining soft and diffuse, notice your breath now. Notice the rising and falling of your stomach with each breath. Meditation #2 Sitting - eyes closed: Three Breaths Notice your breath. What is the temperature going in, and exiting your nostrils? Focus your attention on gratitude for your breath. Feel how grateful you are for the breath that has been with you all your life. Take a deeper breath, from the belly, let the air fill your body. Hold for two counts and exhale with mouth open Sign up now: http://wellwomanlife.com/summer (wellwomanlife.com/summer) You can find notes from today's show at https://wellwomanlife.com/captivate-podcast/287show/wellwomanlife.com/287show.

On the well woman show this month, I interview Dr. Caitlyn Collins, Caitlyn Collins is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. She studies gender inequality in the workplace and family life. Her award-winning book, Making Motherhood Work: How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving (Princeton University Press, 2019), is a cross-national interview study of 135 working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States.

This week on the Well Woman Show, in honor of Mother's Day, I challenge the idea that celebrating moms means nothing more than flowers and nice public statements. One of the greatest challenges working moms face is that we're expected to mother like we don't have a job and work like we don't have children. This makes absolutely no sense, and I believe we can change this for all families in this decade. On the show I share four steps that can help employers, elected officials, candidates as well as family members take real action to support the working moms in your lives. https://wellwomanlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mother_s_Day_Guide.png () All the information shared today can be found at the show notes at http://wellwomanlife.com/285show (wellwomanlife.com/285show) You can also continue the conversation in the Well Woman Life community group at http://wellwomanlife.com/facebook (wellwomanlife.com/facebook) The Well Woman Show is thankful for the support from the Well Woman Academy, a global group coaching community for smart women changing the world without anxiety, insecurity and burnout and by High Desert Yoga in Albuquerque.

On the Well Woman Show this month we're celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women in recognition of International Women's Day and Women's History Month. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn't enough. Action is needed to level the playing field. Today I am interviewing Jaime Gloshay, Co-Director of Native Women Lead where she co-leads key efforts in capital expansion, fundraising, and advocacy while leading program design, international development, and evaluation oversight. Previously, Jaime led Accion's Native Lending program managing a portfolio of $1M+ and supported the development of Nusenda's Co-Op Capital initiative to pilot relationship-based lending. In 2019, she was appointed to lead the tribal subcommittee for the State of NM Census Complete Count Commission which activated a $11.5M state investment to ensure a 2020 complete count. Jaime holds a BA in Native American Studies & Political Science and an MPA in Public Management from the University of New Mexico. Jaime is a citizen of the Navajo, White Mountain Apache, and Kiowa Nations. She is a mother of three residing in Tiwa Territory. Jaime enjoys hiking, being on her ancestral homelands, and reading to restore. Race and ethnicity compound the gender pay gap: According to a 2020 analysis by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, the median annual earnings for full-time, year-round work for Native American women was 60% of White non-Hispanic men's. (September 2021, IWPR #C505 Fact Sheet). Are there other data or sources of information you are using that you'd like people to know about? This year's International Women's Day theme is #breakthebias and the campaign explores the daily challenges still faced by women in the workplace and society. On the show we'll discuss: How Native Women Lead serves the indigenous populations. The struggle with the racial and gender pay gap especially in native communities How we can challenge the bias surrounding native individuals. The books she recommended: https://bookshop.org/books/how-we-show-up-reclaiming-family-friendship-and-community/9781580058070 (How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community by Mia Birdsong ) https://bookshop.org/books/you-are-a-badass-r-how-to-stop-doubting-your-greatness-and-start-living-an-awesome-life-9780762447695/9780762447695 (You Are a Badass(r): How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero) https://bookshop.org/books/dear-sonali-letters-to-the-daughter-i-never-had/9781733352727 (Dear Sonali, Letters to the Daughter I Never Had by Lynn Toler ) You can find notes from today's show at http://wellwomanlife.com/282show (wellwomanlife.com/282show).
