Under the Sisterhood
The Under the Sisterhood Podcast is where women's lived experiences become a catalyst for understanding, connection, and change.
Hosted by Elizabeth Elfenbein, each conversation invites women from around the world to share their stories with honesty, courage, and vulnerability. Together, they explore the moments that shape our lives—from health and mental wellness to leadership, identity, relationships, caregiving, equity, and the many experiences that define what it means to be a woman.
More than a podcast, Under the Sisterhood is a storysharing platform. Every conversation contributes to Women's Lived Experience Intelligence™, helping transform individual stories into insights that can shape healthcare, innovation, research, and culture.
At Under the Sisterhood, we believe every woman's story matters. Through storysharing, we create space for women to be seen, heard, valued, and celebrated—one conversation at a time.
