In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal and profoundly urgent. After years of working with women around the world—especially sensitive and neurodivergent women—I've seen a heartbreaking pattern: a lack of belief in self, chronic disempowerment, silencing, medical dismissal, and burnout. And yet, it's women who are most needed right now. We are the ones with the empathy, strength, and vision to rise and create change.I explore how gender bias in research has harmed women's health, how reproductive rights are being stripped away, how trauma and unprocessed stress are impacting our bodies, and why so many of us have been conditioned to stay small.This episode is both a wake-up call and a collective invitation to rise—together.You'll hear about:The epidemic of disempowerment and chronic illness in womenGender-based violence and the reasons survivors stay silentHow medical research has excluded women for decadesThe criminalization of miscarriage and reproductive injusticeThe impact of economic disempowerment and unpaid laborIntersectionality and why our liberation must include all womenMedical gaslighting and the misdiagnosis of sensitive, neurodivergent womenA vision for collective healing, empowerment, and actionIf you've been feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure where to begin—this episode is for you.

​​It's almost the holiday season, a season of joy and giving. And during this giving season it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of things and get weary in the difficulties that life seems to send our way. We may want to be a giver but raising kids, building a business, providing a living and all other demands on our life, can rob us of the ability to give. And while it may seem counterintuitive, the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you. If you are emotionally unhealthy, you can't give your time and inspiration to others. If you are mentally unhealthy, it's almost impossible to have the strength to persevere, lead and give. If you're spiritually unhealthy, you can't inspire, uplift or be the example you want to be.In this episode, McKay tells the story of Philip Stern, a photographer and book editor. Stern gifted the US servicemen and women in World War II by editing, compiling, and resizing hundreds of popular books to fit into the pockets of military uniforms. During this inspired time of Stern's life, he would write the famous story of The Greatest Gift. It would eventually become the award-winning film It's A Wonderful Life. Taking Philip Stern's example, McKay elaborates on how we impact the world in unique ways with our choices, and asserts that one gift, our lives, and the choices we make, can bless others for years to come. He shows how selfishness and the pursuit of bringing more to ourselves halt this impact, and draws lessons from the 1987 Jessica Morales rescue story. McKay then asserts that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you, and shares a life experience when his renewed Mustang got stolen from his garage and relates it to the choice to be healthy. Listen in today as McKay shares lessons learned from both fiction and real life that open our eyes to the ways in which doing good and making healthy choices can lead to a healthier and happier life.The Finer Details of This Episode:Philip Stern's gift to US World War II servicemen and womenA lesson to be grateful for lifeThe award-winning film It's a Wonderful LifeHow one gift and your life can bless others for years to comeThe effect of selfishness and the pursuit of bringing more to ourselvesThe Morales Family storyThe greatest gift you could give yourself – a healthy youThe reintroduction of the Mustang of the 1960sHow you begin to make choices that lead to a healthier youThe 2003 movie Freaky Friday, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay LohanHow our frame of reference determines our healthGym owner and workout Coach Marc Zalmanoff Lessons from the movie GladiatorLessons from the story of Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. SeussQuotes:"Our life is a gift.

Meet Elissa Freiha, Elissa is the Founder and CEO of Womena. Elissa's energy, creativity, desire for change and spontaneity grabbed my attention. Not only that but her desire to want to build up a feminist media company to amplify women's stories.

The challenges she faced founding a company right after finishing university. What would she have done differently if she would have repeated the same experience again, what is her definition of success and much much more. Check out the full episode.

She is also a PhD. candidate from Meiji Gakuin University and her dissertation is on Japanese "Enjyo Kosai" also known as Compensated Dating and how it applies to consumption and E-Commerce.

In this episode we get to hear the origins, the real motivation behind "Enjoy Kosai" and the current status of compensated dating in Japan. Other topics we discuss:Why intimacy in Japan is very different than in the WestHow "Enjyo Kosai" started out as a game among high-class womenA question from a Japanese student regarding "love" which changed her viewsMarco Polo's role in her early interest in Asia and JapanThe foreign press influence in the image of "Enjyo Kosai""Enjyo Kosai" was never about sexual relations. . .

Artist, activist, and entrepreneur Elissa Freiha is the founder of Womena, a platform that aims to support the entrepreneurship ecosystem in our region by empowering and educating women investors and entrepreneurs.

Studies show that by 2025 the United States will have 1 million jobs in technology but not enough people to fill positions.A low amount of students are studying tech industries, but Helen Norris, VP and CIO of Chapman University, is encouraging this to change. Believing she would become a high school math teacher when she enrolled in college, she stumbled upon computer programming and shifted her career into the technology industry. Playing many roles in IT including a systems administrator, programmer, network engineer and working on a service desk, her experience has prepared her to become the CIO she is today.With demographics showing that the U.S. doesn’t have enough people working in technical fields, Norris knows that the nation will be at a disadvantage if more people don’t enter into STEM. Norris shares the importance of STEM in higher education, her thoughts on women in tech and why education is so important in order to fill spots that may be missing in career advancement.Key Takeaways:Studies show that by 2025 the U.S. will have 1 million jobs unable to be filled because there won’t be enough people in the tech fieldThere hasn’t been a huge shift in the number of women in tech: some teams will still only have one to no womenA high percentage of students at universities are women but men take up the majority of STEM fieldsListeners who’d like to contact Norris can send an email to hnorris@chapman.edu or follow her on Twitter @CIO_ChapmanU.

And…The work that takes place when you lace up and hit the pavement. The work that takes place when you're learning something new and challenging what you know.Or when you’re on your mat, attempting a pose for the 1st(or 100th) time. The work that takes place when you courageously move your body in a way that brings you joy. The work that takes place when you look someone in the eyes and really see them. It’s this work that shapes our community, from big to tiny revolutions day after day after day, that moves the needle closer to equality.”International women’s day means listening, speaking out, not being afraid to tell my story. Invite a women with you! Community is what international women’s day means. What are we dominating? Equality starts with me. Kindness towards ourselves and others and our unique differences that bring us together. Better for balance means there is enough for both. Having a balance to know you can’t pour from an empty cup. Emerging from the painIt just sucks and then feels like freedom and then comes around again. When I come in with my ego that’s when I get humbled the hardest.

Raw and unfiltered, this is my conversation with the passionate and energetic Elissa Freiha, the founder of WOMENA, a company dedicated to increasing female representation in the tech industry. We talk about Tech, making things happen, startups and the #MeToo, #TimesUp movements.

Show Takeaways:On how the MENA startup ecosystem has evolved over the last few years… Angel groups and accelerators have greatly evolved from what they were before; investors are more active with startups and the market education has occurred. We have moved beyond some of the initial just ‘talk’ around investments and the overall scene is more active.On where the MENA startup ecosystem is heading next…The next step is focus – early on we saw a lot more ideation, but now it’s about creation and implementation of strategy. Lead angels of years ago are now heading VCs and we have more niche/industry focused approaches towards portfolios. Rather than external consultants assisting the ecosystem, entrepreneurs are starting to give backOn how Angel Investors in the region can improve…Angel investors need to learn to trust the entrepreneurs, trust the ecosystem and community around them. New investors aren’t comfortable investing after 20 minute coffees and funding rounds at Seed and Series A can take up to two years. So there needs to be faster turn around and they need to be more active.On the Step Conference…Step is about the community and connecting with other entrepreneurs and the overall MENA startup ecosystem coming together.

This week we seem to have a new addition around the house in the form of a stray dog. I've got a bit of a rant about the Duggar family. A theme of sexual "misconduct" from live sexual harassment and a cross dressing contest winner to a Navy porn actor. Plus a couple lessons from dumb criminals, and this week's featured podcast, "Within the Wires." -Around the House-This week we may possibly be getting a new puppy. And by that I mean, We've probably just gotten a new puppy. Long story short, my sister saw a stray puppy on the side of a busy road. She picked it up and had it checked out with her vet friends, but she can't keep a dog in her apartment. So, here we come, as the only ones nearby with a house, and for some reason the inability to say no when she needs to unload animals. She's making flyers and posting up on lost dog pages and things. In the mean time, we are puppy sitting. Of course if nobody claims this dog, we have another dog. -Entertainment News-Jinger Duggar Wearing Pants. Why Is This News?Long story short, in the small militia that is the Duggar family, women can only wear knee length skirts. Jinger Duggar's husband disagrees and allows her to wear pants (because modesty.) For some idiotic reason, fans are enraged.Fox News panelist sexually harrassed live on air, hours after Bill O'Reilly is firedThe same day as Bill O'Reilly was fired over sexual harassment claims, co-host of "The Five," Greg Gutfeld, told co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle, live on air, that she was "giving America a raise."-BS FROM THE NEWS-Androgynous Man Wins Lingerie Photo Contest Intended for WomenA 20 year old man won a women's lingerie photo contest after he and his girlfriend entered him as a joke. The man naturally has very feminine features and the couple thought it would be a funny gag. His girlfriend even did his makeup and picked the clothes.Navy SEAL Being Investigated For Moonlighting As Porn ActorA highly decorated Navy SEAL, and husband to porn star Jewels Jade, is being investigated for his part-time porn career. Of course, it's not the porn that is being investigated, but whether or not he had the required authorization to work outside of his Navy job. According to Jade, he was simply helping her career by doing the movies in place of hiring other performers.-JACKASS OF THE WEEK-Dentist pulled tooth while riding hoverboardAn investigation into an Alaska dentist found video of him extracting a tooth of a patient while riding a "hoverboard." Strangely enough, the investigation wasn't for malpractice, but for medicaid fraud. Apparently he had billed medicaid for nearly $2 million for unnecessary IV sedation.Store clerk can’t read robber’s poor handwriting on noteAn Ohio robber's handwriting was so bad on his note that the clerk couldn't read it. The Family Dollar clerk had to hand it back to him to read aloud. He then got away with all of the clerk's money and a pack of cigarettes. The lesson here seems to be, penmanship counts.-RECOMMENDED LISTENING-Within The Wireshttp://www.nightvalepresents.com/withinthewires/"Set within an alternate reality, “Within the Wires” tells stories in the guise of instructional audio programs. Season One, “Relaxation Cassettes," is a 10 part scripted fiction podcast that takes the form of an audio course on full body relaxation issued by The Institute to you, (the listener) a nameless medical inmate. Who is this narrator? Is she relaying something more than just relaxation techniques, and is she to be trusted? And are there subliminal messages hidden within the music? As listeners move through the relaxation curriculum a deeper and more personal story unravels."
