As a biographer, Judy has dedicated her work to uncovering the stories of women who have made significant contributions to history, particularly in the realm of health activism. Her latest book, "Radical Sisters," highlights the lives of influential figures such as Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder, showcasing how their personal battles with breast cancer helped to ignite a movement that demanded attention and respect for women's health issues.

One of the most striking aspects of our discussion is Judy's insight into the emotional courage that women exhibit. She argues that while traditional definitions of courage often lean towards physical bravery, the emotional strength displayed by women in their fight against illness and societal norms is equally significant. This theme resonates throughout her work, as she emphasizes the need for women to speak up and share their stories, transforming their experiences into powerful narratives that inspire others.

This episode is not just a testimony to one woman's journey; it's a celebration of the strength and courage found in the collective experiences of women throughout history. Tune in to hear Judy's insights and to be inspired to share your own story, because every narrative matters.

Bronwyn Schweigert's journey to becoming an anger expert is both inspiring and enlightening. After experiencing two severe depressive episodes, she discovered that a common thread among her struggles and those of her clients was disassociated anger.

Anger, she explains, is not just an emotion to be feared or suppressed; it is a vital signal that can lead to healing and personal growth. Many of us have been conditioned from a young age to disassociate from our anger, often leading to mental and physical health issues. Bronwyn shares how this disassociation can manifest in various ways, including autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.

Healthy anger, she points out, is about assertiveness rather than aggression, allowing us to express our needs and protect ourselves. This shift in perspective is crucial for anyone struggling with feelings of shame or inadequacy.

Bronwyn also discusses the relationship between anger and victimhood, explaining how unresolved anger can lead to a cycle of shame and self-betrayal. By confronting our anger and processing it, we can break free from this cycle and cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, personal development, or simply looking for ways to navigate their emotions.

Mollie was once a celebrated LA chef who created a series of vegan restaurants that were wildly popular. Her commitment to veganism naturally led to experiments in sustainable vegan farming.

But, with the practical experience of running an organic regenerative farm, Mollie found that a strictly vegan approach just wouldn't work. The challenges she faced included the harsh realities of nature . The necessity of using organic fertilizers sourced from conventional farming systems (which included animal parts), forced her to confront the contradictions in her beliefs. She discovered that her idealistic view of a completely vegan farm was unrealistic.

As she tried to reconcile the conflicts in her beliefs, she receiived a $25 million offer for her restaurants. All she had to do was run them for a few more months, and she would have the financial stability of her dreams.

But the year was 2020, and when her California restaurants were forced to close, the offer vanished.

Where does one go from here?

Mollie's answer to this impossible situation involves resilience, personal transformation and a deep commitment to her evolving truth. This is a powerful conversation about the importance of being open to changing beliefs and perspectives, and having the courage to believe in oneself.
