  • A brilliant + generous show worth listening to

    Stories can change the world.

    What better way to support the evolution of our world then to share stories from the heart? Stories of courage, loss, transformation, success, bravery, brilliance, resilience, connection.

    We are not alone. With the voices of the women Tanya shares, we see this truth and come to know our own soul more deeply.

    Grateful for the brilliance of Tanya and the gifts she shared so generously.

  • Lindsay Blaze

    Enjoyed your episode with Lindsay Blaze It was amazing to learn some of the back story of how she wound up at the gas station, and began pour into peoples lives to turn around the atmosphere of the place, and impact that community. I find it fitting that Bon Aqua means good water and Lindsay continues to provide for people’s lives Refreshing cold drinks of water so to speak, and with God’s help I think will continue to be an ever running well spring. Great episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tracy DeTomasi
Q: What are the biggest funding challenges Callisto faces today?
Funding is limited and highly competitive; the organization relies on donors and foundations, with substantial needs for marketing, PR, and social ads to reach more campuses, compounded by political shifts that affect grant language and funding priorities.
Tracy DeTomasi
Q: How does Callisto work, and what makes it different from other resources?
Callisto uses an end-to-end encrypted matching system that lets survivors see if their perpetrator has harmed someone else, while keeping all data encrypted and not revealing identities unless survivors opt in to engage with advocates who present options for criminal or civil justice and healing.
Tracy DeTomasi
Q: What first drew you to dedicate your life to supporting survivors of sexual violence?
A culmination of moments and a natural inclination to listen and help, starting from childhood curiosity about others' problems, leading to internships and frontline work that showed how pervasive gender-based violence can be and the importance of holding space for survivors.
Morgana Lakatoa Hayward
Q: What is the most important advice you would give women advocating for their hormone health with clinicians?
Ask questions, request testing, seek second opinions if needed, and consider private specialists when GPs lack specific expertise, trusting your body's signals as a guide.
Morgana Lakatoa Hayward
Q: You mention your Fat Burn Protocol and Hack Your Body Method; what do these frameworks prioritize for midlife women?
Fat Burn Protocol focuses on intuitive eating and hormonal balance, while Hack Your Body Method targets blood sugar, hormones, perimenopause symptoms, and gut health, all tailored to cycle phases.
