From Commands to Purpose: How Gen Z Needs to Be Led | Calle Foster

Gen Z gets written off as lazy, but Calle Foster — a leadership coach with 12 years in corporate learning and development — says the stereotype is costing leaders more than they realize. The real problem isn't the generation. It's how they're being led. She joins Dr. Rahman to break down what Gen Z actually responds to, why command and control shuts them down completely, and how generational silence about bodies, fertility, and mental health gets passed down through families — and how to break that cycle.

Three OB-GYNs walk into a podcast — all of them trained in residency not to examine the clitoris, all of them now running gynecology-only practices because what they learned wasn't enough. Dr. Meredith McClure and Dr. Ashley Fuller of the Labialogic podcast join Dr. Rahman to break down the conditions that keep getting missed — lichen sclerosus, DIV, recurrent BV — the tests producing false positives, and why teaching women to say "vulva" instead of "vagina" actually changes treatment outcomes.

She finally diagnosed herself, pushed for her own imaging, and found 12-millimeter varicose veins across her uterus. This episode is for every woman who has been told her chronic pelvic pain is just part of life.
