Are our daughters safe on campus? On this bonus episode, we speak to the Founder of Take Back the Night Foundation and date rape survivor, Katie Koestner.
Katie is one of the nation’s most sought-after experts on student safety and healthy relationships and is the first woman in the United States to speak out nationally and publicly as the victim of campus “date” rape at age 18. Katie has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, The Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC Nightly News, CNBC Talk Live, CNN, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, Later Today, MSNBC, Entertainment Tonight and other national television programs.

This week we are speaking to domestic violence survivor Ruth Glenn. Ruth is the CEO and president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the author of a very personal memoir EVERYTHING I NEVER DREAMED, My Life Surviving and Standing Up to Domestic Violence.
On this episode (as well as in her book), Ruth explores the dynamics of domestic violence, why women and children are seen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim-blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all.
This is a powerful episode about changing the narrative and seeing the red flags around domestic violence.

We are aging with more health and vitality than ever before! The reality is that we will also have chronic conditions that need to be addressed in our health care plan.
This week we are discussing survivorship medicine and complex gynecology with Dr. Michael Krychman. Dr. Krychman is Executive Director of the Southern California Center for Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine and an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California Irvine, Division of Gynecological Oncology and the Medical Director of Ann’s Clinic, a high-risk program for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Survivors.
Dr. Krychman explains that we need to modify medical care in the face of chronic conditions including cancer and hypertension. Doctors need to work as a team when dispensing information as well as medication to patients. Living longer means seeing a bigger picture for your health (lifestyle, diet and stress) and your clinical team needs to be cognizant of this and modify accordingly.
We also address complex gynecology which covers an array of conditions including gynecological cancers, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and pelvic pain.

Why are many midlife women afraid to stand in their own power? Do they think it is selfish? Intimidating? Overwhelming?
We invited Jen Marples on the show this week to talk about personal power and the need for more women to support on another. Jen is an entrepreneur, business leader, motivational speaker, and podcaster. She is also a believer that we are never too old and it is never too late to stand in your own power.
