Seize the Good – Details, episodes & analysis

Check out this week’s episode for an interview with Gender YOUphoria Founder Ashton Colby as we talk about changing the narrative of transitioning genders. “Gender Transition is more than a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria. Gender YOUphoria gives name to the profound journey of aligning your mind, body, soul and spirit through gender expression.” Truly an amazing story.  Then, check out the Do Gooder Report with Jamie Foltz about Kind Kamp, where kids go to both have fun and learn about being a good human.

Check out this week’s episode for an interview with Shayna Fowler (@shayna_fowler), Founder & Executive Director of Khana Panties. Khana is on a mission to ensure every girl has the panties she needs to manage menstruation and stay in school—starting with Uganda. While pads have become more accessible in the developing world, panties have not. Without panties to hold pads in place, over 8 million girls in Sub-Saharan Africa miss up to one week of school every month. Many girls drop out entirely once they start their period.
