On the Well Woman Show this month, I talk to Commissioner elect Adriann Barboa, in Bernalillo County’s District 3. Adriann currently serves as the Policy Director at Forward Together, where she works with families and communities across the state of New Mexico to bring about a culture shift and policies centered on the lived experiences of everyday New Mexicans. Adriann is a connector, an organizer, a trainer, and loves to spend her time with families and communities working together toward building the world we all want to live in. Adriann brings 20 plus years’ experience in the direct service and social justice sectors, working primarily on issues of gender, reproductive, anti-violence, education, and criminal justice in Indigenous and communities of color.

We discuss

-How Adriann hopes to bring diverse stakeholders to the table

– Working across party lines, and connecting people

– Why it’s important for women to work together for change.

On the Well Woman Show this week, we unlearn the messages that keep us playing small, undervaluing ourselves, and settling for anxiety and burnout. This is so simple AND so hard. To support women to do this and to make the changes in their lives to be able to do these three things consistently, I have created the Well Woman Academy where we unlearn all the unhelpful messages and replace those with strategic and practical ways to show up, be seen, be heard and improve our lives.

On the show this week, we’ll talk about:

• The thing that the self-help industry is completely missing
• The two things women are valued for and why these are keeping you playing small
• The most important piece of the Well Woman Framework that other personal development models are missing

On the Well Woman Show this week, I talk Laurie Santos, a Professor of Psychology and the Head of Silliman College at Yale University, as well as the host of the critically acclaimed podcast The Happiness Lab. After observing a disturbing level of unhappiness and anxiety among her students, she began teaching a course entitled “Psychology and the Good Life,” which quickly became the most popular course in Yale’s history and has also reached almost two million people from all over the world through an online version. Although she’s now best known as a “happiness expert,” Santos’s research explores the much broader question of “What makes the human mind unique?” and often includes comparing the cognitive capacities of non-human animals to humans.

On the show we talk about:

– How Happiness is something we can all work on

– What actionable strategies you can take to be happier now

-Why it’s harder for women than men to make time for happiness

Hello gorgeous Well Women, on the show this week I talk to Doll Avant, award-winning tech entrepreneur, a cum laude graduate of Harvard University, and a TEDx speaker. As a data scientist and social impact strategist, Doll was honored with the global designation of “Google’s Woman of Water” and featured on Google’s home page for creating the “world’s largest water database.” Doll is the Founder & CEO of Aquagenuity (“Where Water Meets Ingenuity”), headquartered in Doll’s hometown of Atlanta.

On the show we talk about:

• What Aquagenuity is doing to help people, and our water supply.
• Why our water quality is so important to our health
• How doing significant work is more important than being successful.
