Recorded LIVE on July 26th, Noon CEST, on Zoom When it comes to medical concerns, women often face significant underdiagnosis for conditions like autism, heart disease, even endometriosis and PCOS. When we know something is off in our bodies, it’s common to have our symptoms dismissed or receive inadequate guidance, leaving us struggling to find the right treatment in order to live fulfilling lives. In this episode, we follow the stories of women who have searched - and found - answers to their medical issues when medical systems failed to see the bigger picture of menstruating bodies.

Recorded LIVE on April 25th, 2023 1st Edition: Inspiring Working Moms The goal of the 1st Edition is to introduce Women who are combining motherhood and professional careers, who have found a "modus operandi" that works for them. We want to create a safe space and frank discussion around the challenges and hurdles in trying to combine the two and what has made it WORTHWHILE for these women to continue juggling continuous trade-offs. By bringing together a panel of women from different professional and cultural backgrounds, each with their own story, struggles and solutions to make it work, we hope to encourage participants to find their own blend and continue or re-engage with their career path while building a family. WE ARE ALL WORKING TOWARDS A WORKING MODEL but the GOAL is not the success but the WAY towards the goal is!
