Pandia Health is the ONLY #WomenFounded #WomenLed #DoctorFounded/Led birth control delivery company.
She co-founded Pandia Health because “No one should suffer from ‘pill anxiety’ – the fear of running out of birth control and the stress of obtaining it each month.” Dr. Yen enjoys educating the public and physicians about birth control, menstrual regulation, race differences in birth control, BMI and Emergency Contraception, and #PeriodsOptional.

Today, we delve into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Adia Gooden, a licensed clinical psychologist focusing on unconditional self-worth, imposter syndrome, and Black women and mental health. And, we’ll hear about Gloria Feldt’s efforts with Take The Lead and the ambitious goal of achieving gender parity by 2025. Let’s start by talking about the gender gaps in self-esteem and power. These gaps still persist in our society, affecting various marginalized groups, especially women and in particular, Black, Indigenous and women of color. The self-esteem gap refers to the disparity in how individuals perceive their worth and value, and it can have significant implications for personal and professional growth. On the other hand, the power gap refers to the uneven distribution of decision-making authority and influence between genders. As we continue our program today, think about how you would rate your won self esteem and your power, or decision making authority and influence. Is it strong? Is it where you want it to be?
One researcher who has been shedding light on this issue is Dr. Adia Gooden. She has focused her work on understanding self-worth and its impact on mental health, particularly among black women. Dr. Gooden’s research highlights the unique challenges faced by black women in society and the importance of fostering self-esteem and self-worth for overall well-being. Her work serves as a powerful reminder of the need to address these disparities and to support the leaders doing this work.
Now, let’s shift our attention to Gloria Feldt, a renowned author and activist who has made it her mission to achieve gender parity by 2025. She co-founded Take The Lead, an organization that empowers women to embrace leadership roles and break through barriers that have held them back. You also may remember her as the former head of Planned Parenthood at the national level. Feldt’s efforts have been instrumental in advocating for equal opportunities for women and challenging systemic biases.

Do you have someone in your life on the autism spectum? This week on the Well Woman Show, I interview Dr. Lynn Kern Koegel, Clinical Professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. She has been active in the development of programs to improve communication in children with autism, including the development of first words, grammatical structures, pragmatics, and social conversation. She is the author of Overcoming Autism and Growing Up on the Spectrum, and most recently co-author of Hidden Brilliance. Lynn Koegel and her husband, Robert, are the developers of Pivotal Response Treatment which focuses on motivation. The Koegels have been the recipients of many awards, including the first annual Children’s Television Workshop Sesame Street Award for “Brightening the Lives of Children”, the first annual Autism Speaks award for “Science and Research”, and the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) award for Enduring Programmatic Contributions in Behavior Analysis. Dr. Lynn Koegel appeared on ABC’s hit show “Supernanny” working with a child with autism. Their work has also been showcased on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and the Discovery Channel.
We discuss her work in with those in the autism spectrum, how we can be better supporters, and what led her to get into this work.

Hello Well Woman, Today, I interview Dr. Corrine Oqua Pi Povi Sanchez, of San Ildefonso Pueblo and Executive Director of Tewa Women United. Located in the ancestral Tewa homelands of Northern New Mexico, Tewa Women United is a multicultural and multiracial organization founded and led by Native women. Dr. Sanchez is part of the co-creation process of building Indigenous Knowledge through Tewa Women United’s work over the past 34-years and is trained in forensic interviewing, sexual assault intervention and prevention. Tewa Women United (TWU) envisions movements rooted in P’in Haa (Breath of Heart/Life) and P’in Nall (Touching Heart and Spirit) that nurture and celebrate the collective power of beloved families, communities, and Nung Ochuu Quiyo (Earth Mother). Through Relational-tivity, TWU embodies courageous spaces that center Indigenous women and girls to connect with ancestral knowingness, healing strengths, and lifeways for the wellbeing of all.
We dig into how she helps indigenous women, both in individual ways, as well as policy making. Her experience dealing with interpersonal violence allows Dr. Sanchez to tap into herself to help heal and educate other women, while also making sure indigenous voices are heard in our legislative systems.
