    Episode 42 — Ghada Hatem-Gantzer on Caring for Women, Equitable Infrastructure, and the Future
    2026/08/01
    Ghada Hatem-Gantzer, a Lebanese obstetrician and gynecologist, discusses with Chloe Aftel the intricacies of her work providing competent, holisitic medical care for female-identified victims of gender based violence (GBV). Through an educational conversation, Hatem-Gantzer paints a detailed picture of the women she cares for, and how her success as founder of La Maison des Femmes (a center dedicated to these women), is owed to her unique approach. La Maison des Femmes understands the complexity of GBV, and employs a kaleidoscope of professionals adept at providing psychological, physical and social care at no cost for the patient. Simultaneous to sharing a deeper look at her life-changing practical work, Hatem-Gantzer expresses optimism for the future while applauding recent victories, such as gaining the French government’s support for pleasure-restoring surgeries regardless of context and the lifting of the French ban against abortions for women three months into their terms. Overall, victories like this, combined with how Hatem-Gantzer addresses complex issues, leaves the listener both sober and hopeful, with a renewed belief that an equitable world exists if we have the courage to think deeply about, and vouch for, what is just. Some of what the episode explores:
    • Hatem-Gantzer identifies the four types of female genital mutilation and the procedures that have been developed to treat these issues
    • Elaborates on the psychological state of the women she helps and the shift that follows surgical operation and the restoration of pleasure
    • She explains the logistical, financial and historical obstacles she’s faced and how she’s overcome them while clarifying why national and crowd sourced funding is critical to the success of her efforts.
    Ghada Hatem-Gantzer is acclaimed for her fierce defense of women’s health rights and for founding the La Maison des Femmes—the first healthcare facility for women recovering from gender based violence—in 2016. Hatem-Gantzer was born in 1959 in Lebanon, where she went to school at the Lycee Francais in Beirut, and then later to France to study medicine. In 1996, determined to offer comprehensive care, she created the first Medical Assistance Center for Procreation at the Bluets Maternity Hospital. Continuing her mission, in 2010 she joined the Hopital Delafontine where she established an IVF center, a female genital mutilation treatment unit, and a breast cancer unit. In 2011, she took lead of the maternity unit of the Centre Hospitalier Delafontine, where she discovered that out of 4,700 women who had given birth, 15% had experienced genital mutilation. It was this discovery that inspired her to found La Maison des Femmes. Since its opening, La Maison des Femmes has received the Brussels CHU Peace Prize in 2017, and the European Citizen Prize in 2018. In 2024, Hatem-Gantzer was given the honor of carrying the Olympic Torch in Paris, an apt symbolism of the light she’s brought to thousands of women who prevail despite their circumstance.

    2026/07/01
    Five time national sports climbing champion, and revered mountaineer, Emily Harrington talks with Chloe Aftel about how competitive climbing has shaped her perspective on life, the world, and her personal truths. Inseparable from her multiple titles that include the phrase, “first woman to,” Harrington discusses her journey in the sport, from starting as a young girl scaling man-made walls to finding herself in life or death moments atop the world’s highest peaks. Along with a superhero-like physicality, Harrington describes how important problem solving, risk-analysis, and intelligent decision making is for the successful climber, and how she has integrated these skills into her adult life. She speaks glowingly of the climbing community, spotlighting camaraderie, an appreciation for the natural world, and a zeal for exploration as key to the life of an adventurer. Unique to Harrington, and developed by a career of taking risks and conquering them, she shares her philosophy on fear, and how this philosophy has changed since starting her family. Through it all, Harrington’s awe-inspiring accomplishments combined with her belief in the value of facing challenges head-on will certainly leave a lasting impression on anyone hesitant to take their next seismic leap.

    Moments to look forward to in the episode:
    • Harrington shares the personal struggles she faced as a woman being in a weight to strength dependent sport and the perspective shift that helped her overcome them
    • She dives into the process of competitive climbing, emphasizing what fuels her passion for the sport while clarifying the difference between technical and dynamic climbing styles
    • She discusses how her priorities and relationship to high risk climbing has changed following having a child, and how she navigates being a mother and an adventurer

    Emily Harrington is an American professional rock climber and mountaineer born in Boulder, Colorado in 1986. As a youngster, Harrington was ripe with competitive drive, leading her to develop her skills as a climber at a young age. Finding competitive success in the sport, she started as a member of the USA Junior Climbing Team in 1998. At age 16, Harrington won her first of four USA Climbing Adult National Championship in sport climbing. In 2003, she began her studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she graduated with a degree in International Affairs with an emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Episode 40 — Lucinda Williams on The Act of Creation, Success, and The Political Landscape

    Episode 40 — Lucinda Williams on The Act of Creation, Success, and The Political Landscape
    2026/06/01
    Three time Grammy award-winning singer songwriter, and creator of over a dozen acclaimed albums, Lucinda Williams sits down with Chloe Aftel to chronicle her journey in music, from being emotionally taken by the folk music of the 1960s, to creating her most recent album, “World’s Gone Wrong,” which responds directly to the current American political landscape. Shining through Williams’ anecdotes is an artistic integrity and self-honesty that has simultaneously created friction in her career, and pushed her to take her own gravel road to pioneer the Americana genre. From being inspired to write meaningful songs by Bob Dylan, to now performing with him on the world’s grandest stages, Williams meditates on how she maintains a healthy dynamic between her art, ego, and success. With passion, she makes it clear that politics and real life are never separate from her music, and makes a call for the necessity of civic engagement to counteract the growing trend towards apathy. It is this gusto and Williams’ buoyant spirit that reminds us that although there will never be a world without tears, we are all on Earth together. Highlights: Williams discusses the impact her parents had on her music, and how the rebel spirit she learned from them continues to persist in her today She pinpoints the enduring themes of her work, and the critiques she received from the industry for being an artist that grapples with sorrow She reflects on the most difficult parts of performing, and how she’s improved as a singer songwriter with a growing audience She discusses her relationship to her guitar, and the hurdles she’s had to overcome now that she performs without it Biographies: Lucinda Williams is a Grammy award-winning American singer-songwriter with over 700,000 monthly listeners on music streaming services. Born in 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana to a father who wrote poetry and taught creative writing and a mother who spent long hours at the piano, Williams developed her love for writing and music as a young girl. By 1980 she had released two albums, “Ramblin on My Mind” (1979) and “Happy Woman Blues” (1980) to some critical buzz. However, it was the release of her third album, titled “Lucinda Williams” in 1988 that brought her tender heart into the national spotlight. In 1998, Williams broke through commercially with the release of “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road,” a genre bending album that carved out her unique style—one she says can be found in the crack between rock and country—and earned her a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Her most recent album, “World’s Gone Wrong,” (2026) was created in response to the chaotic socio-political landscape of contemporary America. The album, once again, proves Williams’ masterful ability to marry hard truths with a voice evocative of a warm fire on a frigid day, motivating anyone listening to think about their civic role, and drop a few tears.Chloe Aftel has spent her career working in commercial photography, photojournalism, and film.
