Broad World, The Podcast
This is Broad World, the podcast. And I’m your host, Stef Vassos.
In season one, I’ll be digging into a myriad of topics that affect women, alongside experts and everyday women who are living these experiences:
- The orgasm gap and women's sexuality
- The influence of social media on teen girls
- Women in cannabis
- Body image issues and how to conquer them
- and more!
Broad World started as a blog in 2012 when I was 20-something, living abroad, and traveling to more than 50 countries. Everywhere I went, I was meeting dynamic, accomplished women who were masters in their fields — sisters from the middle east shattering clothing norms with their fashion line, a Wall Streeter who forfeited security to become a pastry chef — making an impact and diving into the unknown while conquering their fears. Broad World: the Blog became a conduit for those stories worth sharing.
The Podcast aims to inspire and broaden perspectives. I hope you like it.

The Ethical Non-Monogamy Episode with Dr. Nichole Fairbrother, Ph. D
Consensual non-monogamy is still taboo and can bring up feelings of fear, jealousy, and insecurity for many people. However, with infidelity being one of the top reasons for divorce, I'm curious about the data around how a polyamorous lifestyle can actually bring many couples together in truth and connection.
I sat down with Dr. Nichole Fairbrother, Ph.D., a registered psychologist and head of the UBC Perinatal Anxiety Research Lab to explore the topic of ethical non-monogamy.
In this episode, she answers all of my burning questions:
- What exactly is ethical non-monogamy?
- Are we, as humans, wired for monogamy?
- How does a couple navigate these unconventional waters?
- How does jealousy play into the dynamic, if at all?
- ... and more!
Let me tell you, this conversation was a huge eye-opener for me. While I know monogamy is ultimately my jam, speaking with Dr. Fairbrother gave me a whole new point of view. Ultimately, we’re all wired for connection in our own way.
