  • Eating Disorders: A Woman's Issue?
    Feb 19 2026

    Quick—when you hear “eating disorder,” who do you picture? What kind of person?

    If you're like most people, you picture a young white woman. And yes, by some estimates, 85–90% of those with diagnosed eating disorders are women. Hmmm… any ideas why that is? Women’s sense of control and agency, for one. The socialized importance of appearance (thinness!) for women, for another. But there’s more.

    The triggers for eating disorders are often rooted in trauma. But clearly not everyone with trauma develops—or maintains—an eating disorder. And as our guest points out, what sustains and perpetuates an eating disorder is often very different from what started it. PLUS, there is an entire category of “disordered eating”—phenomenally common, yet not clinically diagnosed.

    Dr. Zoe Ross-Nash is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in eating disorders—and the perfect person to dig into this topic with us. Learn about the most current thinking on eating disorder causes and treatments, why it is a women’s issue—but not only a women’s issue—how GLP-1s fit into the picture, and more.

    Chances are high that either you or someone you know struggles with disordered eating. But have you talked about it? Probably not. Why the secrecy and stigma? Join us as we work to bring this common issue out of the shadows and into the light.

  • When Women Lead: Power, Policy, and Representation
    Feb 5 2026

    What does political leadership look like when women have a real seat at the table? In this episode, we explore why women’s representation in political leadership matters—right now. From the current state of women in office in the United States to how we compare with other countries around the world, this conversation looks at both the progress made and the gaps that remain.

  • Beyond the Silo: Rethinking Men, Masculinity, and the Future Together
    Jan 23 2026

    We talk a lot about how the world is working - or not working - for women. But we sure as hell don't live in a silo! This two-part conversation is all about men: what's working, what's not, and how we can work together better.

    We are joined by Dr Phil Wagner, professor of Organizational Behavior at the Raymond A, Mason School of Business, William and Mary. In addition to being a dedicated and award-winning teacher, Dr Phil is an astute observer of men and how gender socialization affects us all. And, my favorite, he brings an empathetic, optimistic, and forward-looking lens to the future of gender relations.

    You won't want to miss this two-part conversation about changing roles, cancel culture, the four-legged stool of traditional masculinity, caring for children, AI, and so much more.
