In this powerful episode of Mindful Mondays with Shudu, I sit down with philanthropist, author, and founder of Pivotal Ventures, Melinda French Gates . We explore the profound connections between women’s health, mental health, and empowerment — and why healing is one of the most radical forms of power.
Melinda opens up about transitions, resilience, and what she’s learned in this new chapter of her life — including why she committed $1 billion to advancing women’s power and equality.
Together, we reflect on what it means to “be a greenhouse” — nurturing growth, hope, and healing even in difficult seasons, and how we can each become allies in this collective journey toward equity and wellbeing.
