Think Tank of Three
For women, the stakes don’t get any higher than the fight over reproductive rights.
Power, control, and autonomy are clashing head-on in the United States —in real-time— as we live through a contentious battle where, quite frankly, lives are at risk and freedoms are in question.
The Think Tank of Three welcomes Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, a prominent OBGYN from Stamford, Connecticut to weigh in on the health implications for women, based on her expert perspective and personal experience.
Julie Holton and Reischea Canidate-Kapasouris navigate this sensitive terrain, shedding light on how political decisions are affecting women's battle for bodily autonomy. We also talk about the "trad wife" phenomenon, delve into biblical interpretations of women’s roles, and discuss the alarming shifts in laws governing women’s health decisions across various states.
It’s about understanding the stakes, empowering women to make informed decisions, and recognizing the voices that are often silenced in mainstream debates. Dr. Ghofrany’s insights, coupled with her personal experiences in both the medical and patient spheres, make this episode a crucial listen for anyone committed to understanding and advocating for women’s rights in today’s landscape.

This is the podcast that convinced Julie Holton and Audrea Fink that Reischea Canidate-Kapasouris had to be the new co-host for the podcast.
In this episode, we cover reaching the peak of your career and then having to start all over again.
Mic check 123... Is this thing on? Oh, it's on. We're back. And it's time for something new for Think Tank of Three.
Welcome to our brand new season of Think Tank of three with a brand new third! After months of searching and planning, we are so excited to do this. I'm Audrea Fink here with Julie Holton, along time Think Tank of Three hosts introducing for the first time, our third host, Reischea Canidate-Kapasouris adding a new dimension to Think Tank of Three.
First comes love, then comes marriage. But wait! What about the parents who skip having the baby in the baby carriage?
Is it true what they say, that you don't know 'love' until you're a parent? Are you selfish if you choose not to have children? What about men and women who want to conceive a child, but are unable to do so naturally? Or the women and men who want to have children, but haven't yet found love?
There are many paths to choose from -- and some paths are even chosen for us. In this episode, the Think Tank of Three talks with guest, Stephanie Barnhill about her choice to be 'childfree'.
How many of you dream of earning the corner office? Of buying the biggest house in the best neighborhood? Of providing for your family — of having it all?
Until one day, you realize that dream has changed. Or, it wasn’t really your dream at all! Whether you feel pulled in a new direction, or you're faced with a life-altering diagnosis like our podcast guest, life is full of transitions. Sometimes the path to finding our true joy is an unexpected one.
At 32 years old, as a newly divorced single mom of two, Beth Peck received a devastating diagnosis. Cancer. The battle was on... and spoiler alert... Beth (or shall we call her Vi!) not only fought back, she is now leading the fight at a nonprofit that helps young adults facing cancer. And that's just the first few minutes of this episode!
Stepping into the unknown is scary, especially if that means uprooting our lives to try something new.
If you're feeling like it's time to make a major move or you're feeling restless, and aren't quite sure where it will lead, then this episode is for you today. A special guest, Nora Luke, shares how to go from Corporate to Calling.
At the time of this recording, we are still in a global pandemic. If there's one thing we know about COVID-19, it's that our everyday lives have changed. And it has a lot of people thinking about what they want out of life. Today, we are talking about how to break free from whatever is holding you back from following your passion.
What if you could take the very worst that life has given you, the darkest of the dark, the most painful, traumatic experiences, and turn them into hope and healing for others.
In this episode of Think Tank of Three, our guest Priscilla Bordayo says she knew that the only way she could rise up would be by breaking the cycle of sexual abuse, and now she's lifting others up with her.
