The Woman Who Outsmarted the Nazis and Saved Europe's Art Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

History often forgets the women who risked everything in World War II. Journalist Michelle Young makes sure that doesn’t happen with her powerful book, The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland. Rose was a quiet Paris museum curator who secretly spied on the Nazis as they looted thousands of masterpieces for Hitler’s super-museum. With courage, cunning, and relentless determination, she curated the stolen art and passed intelligence to the Resistance. She safeguarded Europe’s treasures and stood her ground during the liberation of Paris. Her work is still being used today to recover Europe’s stolen art. Join Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro for this riveting conversation on Women Road Warriors as they talk to Michelle and delve into Rose’s bravery, the fight to protect culture, and why Rose Valland’s story matters now more than ever.

Invisible Work: Celebrating Women’s Unseen Contributions Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Women hold the world together—yet much of what we do remains hidden in plain sight. From caregiving and raising children to providing emotional support and nurturing relationships, these essential contributions often go unnoticed and undervalued. Even worse, we sometimes fail to give ourselves credit for the life-changing roles we play. In this episode of Women Road Warriors, we’re joined by Dr. Janelle Wells and Dr. Doreen MacAulay, award-winning scholars at the University of South Florida and authors of Our In-Visible Work. Their groundbreaking research reveals how the lack of recognition for their contributions not only suppresses women but also disempowers them across workplaces, families, and communities. Both serve as regular columnists for Psychology Today and are on a mission to expose this hidden invalidation and advocate for the acknowledgment women have long deserved for the important roles they play often in the background. This conversation aspires to inspire a re-evaluation of how we perceive and value the vital yet frequently overlooked labor that women perform daily. Tune in to this episode for a powerful, eye-opening conversation that will change the way you view “invisible” work—and inspire you to start valuing the roles that too often go unrecognized.

Imagine healing after a sports injury just like you did when you were in your 20s. How about getting the benefits of expensive stem cell treatments without the injections and the huge expense? Topical stem cell therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional stem cell treatments, minimizing risks associated with injections. Dr. Tommy Rhee is a pioneer in regenerative medicine and promotes non-invasive stem cell therapy. He developed RheeGen, which is a safer stem cell alternative that doesn’t use live cells or invasive procedures. His expertise spans many years. He has treated pro athletes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, UCLA athletes, and even the U.S. Navy. His latest book, The Future of Regenerative Medicine: Unlocking the Potential of Topical Stem Cell Therapy talks about how topical stem cell applications are reshaping healing and longevity. Dr. Rhee has been a practicing chiropractor since 2006 and served as the official team chiropractor of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years.
