She The People is a podcast for bold, curious women who ask big questions and embrace complexity. Hosted by two longtime friends—one a second-generation American with a PhD in public health, the other a U.S. Air Force veteran finishing her doctorate—we met in the Peace Corps and bring lived experience and global perspective. From politics to public health, spirituality to sex, burnout to resistance—we explore what it means to build a more honest world.
What If We Taught Girls to Trust Themselves Before the World Told Them Not To — with DemocraShe Founder Sarah Jakle
Sarah Jakle founded DemocraShe to solve a problem she kept seeing — brilliant women who couldn't see themselves as leaders, while men never questioned it for a second. Her answer was a national program for high school girls that combines practical civics with brain science, because confidence alone isn't enough when your nervous system is being flooded.
Girls in 42 states learn how their amygdala works, how to stay grounded when someone is gaslighting them, and how to build legislation with girls from completely different states and backgrounds. They get paid $15 an hour to do it. Seventy percent are first generation Americans.
With 1,600 graduates and seven times more applications than spots, DemocraShe is growing fast — and building exactly the generation of women leaders this moment demands.

You're Watching Different Realities and Only One of Them Is the Truth
Mindy and Andy break down how the Iran war and the Epstein files are being covered completely differently depending on where you get your news — and why that gap should terrify you. From Fox News calling it "Operation Epic Fury" and barely mentioning Epstein, to Al Jazeera naming the school bombing for what it is and connecting the war's timing directly to Trump's domestic scandals. They cover Tulsi Gabbard altering her Senate testimony, a Trump appointee resigning saying Iran posed no imminent threat, 175 schoolgirls killed by outdated US intelligence, and why other countries are arresting powerful men while the US investigates no one. Plus — why believing women isn't optional, and how to actually find news you can trust.

We Went to War for Israel and Called It America First
Mindy and Shahida get into the Iran war — what it's costing us, who it's really for, and why going in was never about protecting Americans. Mindy brings her perspective as a veteran and ICU nurse who deployed to Afghanistan, talking honestly about the tension between believing in service and being completely against war. They break down the real human costs that never make the news — the civilians, the environment, the generations of trauma — and why we've never once bombed our way to peace. Plus the cult of MAGA, what the Peace Corps taught them about actually helping people, and why China is winning the influence war while we're blowing things up.
