This month on the Well Woman Show, we celebrate International Women’s Day as well as Women’s History Month. The theme of the United Nations Observance of International Women’s Day is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”, recognizing and celebrating the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The observance will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, and it will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online gender-based violence.
At the IWD commemoration event held at UN headquarters in New York, UN and Member States representatives, technologists, innovators, entrepreneurs, youth, and gender equality activists celebrated the women and girls who are championing the advancement of technology and innovation and their potential as a transformative mechanism for achieving gender equality. The annual event also addressed the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence.
According to UN Women, gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030.
The social and economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation even bleaker. Progress in many areas, including time spent on unpaid care and domestic work, decision-making regarding sexual and reproductive health, and gender-responsive budgeting, is falling behind.

On this week’s episode, we’re discussing old stories or false narratives of not being lovable. This could be handed down from past generations or facilitated by capitalism and patriarchy – this is an invitation to a deeper awareness of how that story shows up in your life and how you might reframe it.

This week on the Well Woman Show, I interview Tanya Taylor Rubinstein, narrative-based master teacher and founder of Somatic Writing.
Tanya Taylor Rubinstein is the founder of Somatic Writing. She developed Somatic Writing as a way for her students to become embodied writers. By holistically liberating voice, untethering power and writing stories, they are able experience profound personal connection to their work. By writing and publishing memoirs and performing solo shows, her students become positioned as leaders in emergent culture. This process and praxis is the thirty-year synthesis of her work as a narrative-based master teacher. The emphasis of the work is on retrieving stories held in the body connected to ancestors, trauma, magic, and land. She has worked with well over a thousand people over the last twenty-one years to write memoirs, monologues, and solo shows. Her memoir, Skirting the Binary, is being published in 2023.
She says Emergent planetary culture depends upon our ability to reconnect to ancestral wisdom, land, and our bodies. Now is the time to call back and write the stories of our magic. No part of our story has been more marginalized than the stories of our ancient, intuitive and psychic knowings

On the Well Woman Show this week, we’re discussing Burnout, and the recent decision by New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
She surprised the world this week, announcing that she was quitting because she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job. “Politicians are human. We give all that we can, for as long as we can, and then it’s time,” she said in an emotional address that signaled the end of her five-and-a-half years in office. We discuss her decision while working through the Well Woman Life Cycle.

On Show this week, I interview Ericka Hines, principal of Every Level Leadership and author of Black Women Thriving, a report and call to action which seeks to define what it means for Black women to thrive in the workplace and determine how they find joy, success, and stability at work. Ericka has committed to helping organizations build an equity culture for the last ten years, working with government agencies, nonprofits, and foundations across the country to help their staff and stakeholders learn how to work in more inclusive cultures.
We discuss:
– Why focusing on black women actually helps everyone.
– Why having DEI practices in your workplace helps your bottom line.
– How universal the work that Erika does is.

Over the years, I’ve interviewed hundreds of high achieving women, from Byron Katie to Dr. Shafali, Elizabeth Lesser and Deepak Chopra’s daughter, Mallika Chopra. And you know what the common thread is between all of them? They all do these three things:
- Engage in a mindfulness practice – this doesn’t have to be sitting on a cushion meditating. It can be any meditative activity, such as walking, cooking, dancing or breath work.
- Identify and prioritize their needs (ie. self care) – this is a daily practice, not just getting a massage once every six months. Seriously, the self care industry has us believe that we need to buy expensive treatments and products in order to practice self care. In reality, we have the ability to identify our needs and take care of them already.
- Share and grow in a community of women – this can be your circle of friends, but usually you’ll need something more structured and a place where you can show up as the woman you want to be (not who people label you as, or who your friends and family think you should be). You show up differently when you are supported to BE the writer, the woman who gets promoted, the leader, the changemaker, the innovator, or whoever it is you are in the world. This is what the Well Woman Academy™ offers.
Inside the Well Woman Academy™, you have access to all of the things above that support you to thrive.
