32. Dr. Aziza Sesay on Demystifying Women’s Health and Pathways For Empowerment

 Hi, we're Vanesha and Seonni, your co-hosts of the Mind the Gap podcast.



We started this podcast because even though we have a 12-year age gap, we both wanted to talk to people and learn about how their journeys have shaped who they are.



Along the way, we've interviewed experts like therapists, advisors, advocates, and researchers. From science and unique career paths to culture and personal development, we leave no gap unexplored.



Our goal is to build a community, one where curiosity knows no bounds, and every episode is a step closer to understanding the world around us.
