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.
