In this episode, I sit down with Najah Musthafa — an Australian-trained and registered Art Psychotherapist — for a thought-provoking conversation on gender equality, equity, feminism, trauma and healing. Together, we explore the evolving landscape of feminism in 2025, its intersections with trauma, and the therapeutic responses that support healing. Najah shares valuable insights into how women can begin to reclaim their power, overcome self-doubt, and rise above societal expectations. We also discuss practical steps towards healing and empowerment, offering a hopeful perspective for anyone navigating these challenges. I truly hope you find this episode as inspiring and uplifting as I did.
