In this inspiring and deeply personal episode of Women in the Nude, Sasha sits down with Stefany Shaheen to discuss the fight for better healthcare, women's health research, and why she's stepping into the political arena to create meaningful change.

Stefany opens up about the life-changing moment her daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, how that experience led her to build a healthcare technology company that has helped thousands of families, and why advocating for patients has become her life's mission. Together, Sasha and Stefany explore the challenges women face navigating the healthcare system, the dangers of medical misinformation, and why trusting your instincts can be lifesaving.

The conversation also dives into motherhood, resilience, public service, and what inspired Stefany to run for Congress. From protecting medical research and expanding access to care to restoring trust in government, Stefany shares her vision for creating healthier communities and a stronger future for the next generation.

This is a conversation about courage, advocacy, and the power of using your voice to fight for others.

As founder, CEO, and a professional athlete herself, Faatimah is the driving force behind the Women’s Premier Basketball Association, the nation’s leading development league for women’s basketball, born in Oakland in 2022 with nothing but a vision and now heading into its fifth season this June. In this episode, she opens up about what it actually takes to build something from scratch: the doubt, the scrappy early days, the moments she had to be player and executive in the same breath, and the vision that kept her going when there was no blueprint to follow.

We talk about what it means to create opportunity instead of waiting for it, how the WPBA has become a real pipeline (100+ athletes placed professionally overseas, two now in the WNBA), and why Oakland was always the right place to plant this flag. Faatimah’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience and what it looks like to build your future from the ground up.

This episode was fueled by Drink Hippie, because building from the ground up takes real energy.

Tune in for a conversation about vision, grit, and refusing to shrink your ambitions to fit someone else’s league.
