Women’s Advocates - Champions for Domestic Assault Survivors Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

According to Domestic Shelters.org one in four women in the U.S. will be targeted by an abusive partner in their lifetime. Nearly one in five murder victims in the U.S. was killed by an intimate partner. Shocking stats, aren’t they? We have a long way to go. Thousands of women every year seek refuge in domestic assault shelters. Believe it or not, it has only been 50 years since the first domestic shelter opened. Women’s Advocates in St. Paul, Minnesota was the very first. It always has been a major advocate for change. The shelter founders helped establish legal protection for victim survivors and their children in Minnesota as well as some of the first domestic violence legislation in the United States. This shelter sets the bar for helping abuse survivors and stopping the cycle of violence. Learn what they are doing now and how you can help in this episode of Women Road Warriors when Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro talk to Executive Director Holly Henning and Grants/Evaluation Manager Mary Beth Becker-Lauth.

Bringing Hope & Healing to Women’s Shelters Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

Imagine you are a woman fleeing domestic violence or homelessness only to find refuge in a long-term women's shelter that is cold, institutional, and filled with prison beds, duct-taped walls, and urine-stained mattresses with no privacy. Too many long-term shelters are like this. For women and children trying to rebuild their lives, it is a dismal, scary place. Terry Grahl, the founder and CEO of Enchanted Makeovers is working to change this. Her volunteer-driven nonprofit refurbishes long-term shelters by making them a place where women and children can thrive in a place that feels like home. Pat Rullo, author and founder of Speak Up Talk Radio contributes handmade pillowcases and portions of her book and podcast competitions to help fund and promote Terry’s efforts. Tune into this episode of Women Road Warriors with Terry and Pat to learn about the hope and healing Terry offers as she transforms lives one shelter at a time.

Show notes

Did you know it will take 257 years for women to close the global gender pay gap? That’s well

over 12 generations! For women to change that trajectory, the time is now to make changes -

no matter how small. If just one woman is marginalized or abused in any part of the world,

change is needed. There are ways for women to continue our momentum. Do whatever you

can in your corner of the world. Time is finite. We need to accelerate the clock to close

disparities that still exist. In this interview you will learn our history and

what could be our future if we don’t take action. Learn where women have progressed

and where we have taken 10 steps back. Find out how you can carry the torch for

women’s rights in this interview with S. Lucia Kanter St. Amour, VP emeritus of

United Nations Women USA. The U.N. is the organization that established

International Women’s Day. Please honor all women by listening to Episode 118

of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro for a dynamic

interview that sheds light on stopping the marginalization of women.

The Truth About Bipolar Disorder in Women Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

Did you know women often go undiagnosed for bipolar disorder? Symptoms manifest

differently for women than for men. Hormone fluctuations also make it worse for women.

Estrogen can bring it on sooner. If there is a genetic tendency toward the condition, cannabis

use can also bring it on at an earlier age. What is bipolar disorder? What is manic depression?

Are they the same thing? Psychologist Dr. Aimee Daramus is an expert on all of this and wants

to dispel the misconceptions. Dr. Daramus is the co-host of the Bipolar Girl

Beyond podcast and the author of Understanding Bipolar Disorder – The Essential

Family Guide. She is a nationally-known expert quoted by The Huffington Post, The

Chicago Tribune, NBC, MSN, CNN, and Vogue. Learn the essentials in this episode

of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro when we talk with Dr.

Daramus.
