Season Two
Exploring the systems shaping women’s lives—from healthcare and reproductive law to media visibility and climate activism.
For the Season 2 finale of The Women’s Current, Sylvia Beckerman and Molly Wadzeck turn the microphones toward themselves for a conversation about identity, motherhood, visibility, curiosity, and what they’ve learned from their guests, from each other, and from the lives they’re living while these conversations unfold.
At four. At thirty-nine. At seventy-four.
We’re all still learning.
We’re all still becoming.
Author and journalist Danielle Crittenden joins The Women’s Current for a deeply personal conversation about motherhood, grief, identity, marriage, and what remains after profound loss. Drawing from her memoir Losing You, Danielle reflects on continuing bonds, enduring love, and learning to carry grief while moving forward.
Climate isn’t only about science or politics. It’s also about motherhood, responsibility, fear, hope, and the generations that will inherit what we leave behind. Harriet Shugarman joins The Women’s Current for a conversation about activism, anxiety, community, and how women are helping shape the future.
We didn’t question it. We absorbed it.
The quiet rules that shaped how women think about food, sex, and desire—long before we had language for them.
Health inequality isn’t abstract.
It shows up in real lives—every day.
This week on The Women’s Current, we’re joined by journalist and author Irin Carmon, whose latest book Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America reveals what happens when pregnancy collides with policy, politics, and power.
Through the stories of five women, Irin exposes a system that too often fails the very people it was meant to protect.
What emerges is not a collection of rare tragedies—
but a pattern.
What happens when women are seen — but still not heard?
Linda Villarosa exposes how systemic bias shapes women’s health — and why telling the truth is the first step toward change.

Transformation isn’t a moment. It’s a practice.
In this season-ending episode of The Women’s Current, Paula Stone Williams joins us for a conversation about empathy, truth, and the courage it takes to live honestly — especially when change is ongoing and public. We talk about what authenticity actually asks of us, and why listening deeply may be the most radical act of all.
A powerful intergenerational conversation with The Pad Project’s Melissa Berton and Jayna Gandhi on menstrual equity, dignity, and passing change forward.
