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.

She brings lived experience, professional rigour and unshakeable passion to her work: after surviving years of abuse and fleeing genocide in childhood, Lejla built a formidable career on challenging policy reform and training professionals on best practice for supporting victims and survivors.
With credentials as a practitioner and independent domestic & sexual-violence advisor (IDVA), Lejla has been featured in podcasts, documentaries and major media, sharing her story to amplify survivor voices and transform how society responds to abuse.
Her accolades include speaking engagements at the Ministry of Justice and other high-level platforms as an expert voice in trauma recovery and justice reform; Including through her work as a migration sector advisory panel specialist expert in GBVA for women in migrant communities for the London Mayors Office
Lejla’s mission is unapologetically bold: to create safe spaces for survivors, disrupt the silence around abuse and deliver evidence-informed healing and recovery that honours survivor strength.
