    Ep. 10: You hormonal? Blame it on your sex hormones
    Sep 28 2021
    How often did we hear someone saying: “She is unbearable today!”?
    How often were we the unbearable ones?

    Sometimes we feel our body is not functioning as it should, yet finding the cause seems the toughest task ever.

    Your sex hormones could be the cause.
    In today's episode, we delve into the biological aspect of estrogen and progesterone in the attempt of making this blurred area more friendly.

  • EP. 9: In conversation with: Benedetta Tornesi, GRLS

    EP. 9: In conversation with: Benedetta Tornesi, GRLS
    Sep 21 2021
    "When women come together, magic happens", and we find this slogan extremely appropriate to introduce Benedetta, the guest of our ninth episode.

    Benedetta is the founder of GRLS, a media company committed to inspiring, developing and entertaining the women leaders of tomorrow. In addition to this, she's a woman that loves to challenge the status quo, a woman who does not have any concern admitting that fear is a daily companion of her life, and she is also a cat lover.

    Following her narrative and her endeavours, we explore the bliss of getting out of our comfort zone, the difficulties a woman founder meets when entering a room full of investors, the reasons why we all have the right to question and confront a system that wants women to get married to the white, rich man, working in finance.

    All this, and more, in an episode that will also teach you a few handy Italian filler words.
