Hosted by Christina Phillips, a former dancer, active mother, and passionate advocate, this show brings honest conversations to the questions most women are afraid to ask. From harassment to chronic stress, panic attacks, and being a working parent…no topic is off limits.
Each episode features Christina alongside a rotating team of attorneys and therapists who provide expert insight, legal clarity, and practical solutions. These conversations are sparked by real questions that women are asking online.
Men can be sexually harassed too, but many stay silent because they fear they will not be believed. In this episode of Not in the Newsletter, Christina Phillips, employment discrimination attorney Greg Calliste, and psychotherapist Deirdre Arato unpack why male victims often laugh it off, hide the harm, or avoid reporting altogether.
What starts as a conversation about men and workplace sexual harassment becomes a powerful discussion about shame, masculinity, retaliation fears, documentation, and what happens when systems dismiss men who ask for help. Greg shares personal and professional experiences that reveal how hard it can be for men to report harassment, while Deirdre explains the emotional toll of being minimized, disbelieved, or forced to carry trauma alone.
