Tanja Lau: When Poetry finally spoke

Ella Stadler-Stuart: What happens when you drop your mask

What happens when you stop hiding what you’re going through? In this episode, we speak with Ella Stadler-Stuart about infertility, breast cancer, and the courage it takes to speak from the messy middle, before there are neat endings or success stories. Ella shares what it was like to speak publicly about infertility for the first time on the Women’s Hub stage, and how that moment opened up deep connection, healing and community. We talk about dropping the mask, letting people meet you where you are, and why being honest about hard experiences can be an act of love rather than a burden.

Esther Janssen: Breaking the Silence Around Intimate Touch

When Esther Janssen stepped onto the Women’s Hub stage, it was the first time she spoke publicly about her work as a trauma-sensitive body therapist and her mission to help people with traumatic experiences find self-love again. She was shaking, holding her notes, and very aware of how taboo talking about sexuality and tantric healing still is. That moment changed something. It helped her find her voice, connect with women who recognized themselves in her story, and take the next steps: speaking more openly, publishing her book "Die Magie der absichtslosen Berührung", and reaching a wider audience with her work. In our newest podcast episode, Esther shares what it meant for her to speak in front of an audience for the first time, why honoring your pace matters, and how healing can begin when the body is finally listened to.

Juliana Barbosa: Leaving Finance to Change Finance

At a Women’s Hub Day, Juliana shared out loud for the first time that she was done with her corporate career in finance and ready for something new. That moment helped her begin a major shift: reconnecting with a childhood passion for climate action and moving into sustainable finance. In this episode, Juliana tells how she went from 15 years in tax and wealth management to studying leadership and sustainability, landing a stewardship role in asset management, and eventually starting her own consultancy, B.lief, to help direct capital toward positive impact. A story about not running away from systems that don’t fit, but choosing to change them from the inside.

Tanja Lau: When Poetry finally spoke

Our guest today is Tanja Lau, who most people know as the founder of Product Academy. But she has another side that only a few people knew until she showed it publicly at the Women’s Hub Day. She stepped on stage and read a poem that made half the room cry, including us. Today we go back to that moment and look at how her poetry has grown since then.

Minnal Dhingra: A Vision Born from Healing

When life fell apart, Minnal Dhingra found her way back through something simple: a daily healing ritual from her childhood in Mumbai. That small act of care became Mamma Veda, a mindful wellness brand rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern life. In this episode, Women’s Hub Zurich hosts Arjanna van der Plas and Nele Clüver talk with Minnal about rebuilding from heartbreak, finding courage by sharing her story, and turning something painful into something deeply nourishing.
