Wishes really do come true when you work hard and persevere! When Mara was in second grade she was given an assignment -" if you met a leprechaun and he offered you 3 Wishes, what would they be?" One of Mara's wishes was to go to Yale! I remember calling my mom and asking if I knew Yale existed when I was 7 years old, not to mention it was a good school that I should want to go to. When my husband came home from work and read her assignment, he made plans for the two of them to tour Yale along with all the high school scholars. Mara asked questions and was considered a prospective student. Little did we know she would get her Masters in The History of Science and Medicine 24 years later. Great things come to those who wait.Proud doesn't even begin to describe how we feel.@maracsantilli may you always have a thirst for knowledge and go with your gut. Congratulations as you begin this next chapter!

This week on #ThePainGapPodcast, we’re talking about everything from tradwives to tech w/ @maracsantilli!

Santilli is a journalist and researcher asking some of the most urgent and uncomfortable questions about women’s health, power, and who gets to control our bodies. She is a leading voice examining the intersection of contraception, culture, and systemic inequality.

Her work unpacks everything from the rise of “tradwife” content and anti-birth control rhetoric to the deeply rooted histories of eugenics, coercion, and misinformation that still shape reproductive care today.

In this conversation, we get into what’s really driving the resurgence of anti-contraception narratives, how social media is reshaping our understanding of “choice,” and why Mara says we cannot afford to be lied to about birth control.

Tune in today, wherever you get your podcasts!

“Why ‘emotional sobriety’ could help chronic ruminators stop spiralling” by @maracsantilli

Emotions come knocking, but you can choose which to let in. Shutting the door on some – an act of so-called ‘emotional sobriety’ – can create a calmer state of being

‘It’s important to honor your feelings,’ says Kelley Kitley, author of “My Self: An Autobiography of Survival.” ‘But if you keep replaying those thoughts, you may stay in an anxious state.’

Allow yourself to surrender: Sometimes the only way out is through, and it can help to accept that you’re dealing with something tough and won’t be close to stasis for a while. The important thing here is that while you accept how your feelings are making you want to react, you also have a timeline for trying some healthy distractions again, says Kitley.

‘Imagine you were trying to talk this through with your younger self’
Try this method from Kitley: draw a horizontal line across a piece of paper. Point A, on the left side of the line, can be a thought dump of everything you’re feeling about a particular life event. On the right side, ‘Imagine you were trying to talk this through with your younger self,’ she says.

‘By writing out what you might say in coaching the younger you through a difficult patch, you may gain a point of view more compassionate to your present self. Maybe you won’t believe your older self’s advice at first, but with repetition, it’ll become easier to see how you’ve managed to grow.’
