This week’s episode 178 of How Women Inspire Podcast is about philanthropy, racial justice, and feminist leadership!
In this episode of How Women Inspire Podcast, Julie Castro Abrams shares how her childhood experiences were the foundation for her decision early in life to spend the rest of her life trying to make the world a better place and reflecting on her continued efforts to open her heart and door to others by caring for them and loving and accepting them as they are.

Being cognizant of the power dynamics in nonprofit organizations and setting realistic expectations of gratitude.
Sharing Maimonides ‘Ladder of Philanthropy’ and the high value placed on philanthropy through partnership.

The article on Valhalla Vitality about tadalafil gives a broader look at how one compound can affect multiple systems in the body. It highlights benefits like improved circulation, recovery, and general well-being.
I like that it focuses on a long-term perspective rather than quick results. It’s a useful and informative read.
