As a special treat today, we're sharing an episode from Sunstorm, a brand new podcast from our friends Ai-jen Poo, Alicia Garza and the NDWA. Ai-jen and Alicia are two of the leading activists in America and the show is all about how women help each other stay joyful and powerful amidst the chaos of life today.

In this very first episode of Sunstorm, Astrologer Chani Nicholas joins Alicia and Ai-jen to discuss the intersection of social justice and the stars. They discuss her New York Times-bestselling book, “You Were Born For This,” and what the planets say about this year. She also clarifies the aspects of astrology that people often misunderstand (hint: the stars and planets can guide you, but they can’t do the work for you). Plus: Overcoming self-doubt, finding your true purpose, guilty fashion pleasures, and Chani’s passion for pie.

As a special treat today, we're sharing an episode from Tilted, a podcast that explores the uneven playing field facing women across industries, from politics to sports to entertainment.

Lights, camera... equality? Tilted host Rachel Thomas heads to L.A. to find out if things are really changing for women in Hollywood. We talked with some amazing women from Hello Sunshine, including head of film and TV, Lauren Levy Neustadter, and showrunners Liz Tigelaar and Nichelle Tramble Spellman, about what's changed for women in Hollywood—and what hasn't. We also went behind-the-scenes on the set of the new show, Grand Hotel, to talk to director Eva Longoria in between takes.

The whole season of Tilted is out now! You can hear more episodes at leanin.org/tilted.
