212: The Cost of Staying Quiet with Dr. Shikha Jain

Community can be powerful on its own. But when you combine community with evidence-based thinking, real leadership, and women who are willing to share both their ideas and their doubts, something even more meaningful happens.

In this conversation with Dr. Shikha Jain, we talk about what it really takes to build a mission-driven community, why evidence-based voices matter more than ever, and how courage often looks a lot less polished than we expect. This episode is a conversation about leadership, vulnerability, and what becomes possible when smart women stop trying to do everything alone.
