Today on the Well Woman Show, I interview Celeste Headlee.
She is an award-winning journalist, professional speaker and author of “We Need To Talk: How To Have Conversations That Matter,” and “Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.”
A self-described “light-skinned Black Jew,” Headlee has been forced to speak about race—including having to defend or define her own—since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she’s made it a priority to talk about race proactively.
An expert in conversation, human nature, reclaiming common humanity and finding well-being, she frequently provides insight on what is good for all humans and what is bad for us, focusing the best research in neuro and social science to increase understanding of how we relate with one another and can work together in beneficial ways in our workplaces, neighborhoods, communities and homes. Her upcoming book “Speaking of Race” is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us.
On the show we’ll discuss:
1. Why it is important to have meaningful conversations about difficult topics like race.
2. The critical role of empathy in our lives and conversations.
3. How to have conversations about race and other difficult subjects that can actually bring us closer together.

On the Well Woman Show this week, I talk to D. Sangeeta. She is the founder and CEO of Gotara, a global career growth platform for women in STEM+. Its mission is to close the gender gap and help STEM+ women stay and thrive in their careers. It’s a passion for Sangeeta because she came very close to being one of the 40% of STEM women who leave their careers within the first five years. The materials scientist said that at 32 she felt she couldn’t continue to navigate the roadblocks being thrown in front of her. Luckily, a mentor reached out, gave her guidance, and she stayed in her career for another two decades, achieving 26 patents, leading global teams of 5,000+ with budgets of more than $200 million. She worked at GE Aviation, Nielsen, and most recently was VP of Connections at Amazon. Sangeeta’s ultimate dream though was to build a scalable, for-profit career growth platform so 30+ million STEM+ women around the world have access to the advice they need to stay and thrive in their careers.
Today on the show we discuss:
The need for equality and representation for women in STEM.
Why do women need to get a voice at the table while in college and in their careers?
AND How we can encourage younger women to get into STEM?
