In this one-of-a-kind episode, Sasha welcomes her son Hendrix to the mic for a conversation that’s as sweet as it is hilarious. Together, they talk about friendship, dinosaurs, Legos, favorite games, Halloween costumes, and the simple joys of being a kid. It’s an unfiltered, tender glimpse into motherhood, imagination, and the magic of slowing down and seeing the world through your child’s eyes.

What if everything women have been taught about “health” is missing the point?

This week on Women in the Nude, we sit down with Julia Sawaya, CEO and co-founder of Needed, to rip the curtain back on the supplement industry, and the systemic ways women’s bodies have been misunderstood, under-researched, and underserved.

Julia doesn’t just talk about vitamins. She talks about power, science, misinformation, and the quiet rage women carrywhen their symptoms are dismissed as “normal.” From fertility and hormones to burnout and emotional depletion, this conversation goes where most wellness discussions won’t…calling out what’s broken, what’s performative, and what women actually deserve.

This episode is bold, honest, and deeply validating. If you’ve ever felt confused, gaslit, or exhausted by the wellness world, this one’s for you.

Julia Sawaya is the CEO and co-founder of Needed, a women-first nutrition company rewriting the rules of supplements with science, transparency, and integrity at its core.

Frustrated by an industry built on outdated research and marketing over substance, Julia helped build Needed to support women at every stage of life, especially during the moments they’re most overlooked. Her work bridges clinical science with real-world experience, challenging the status quo of how women’s health products are formulated, regulated, and discussed.

Julia is known for her refusal to water things down and advocating for better data, better ingredients, and better conversations around women’s bodies. Her mission is simple but radical: give women what they actually need, not what sells fastest.

In this continuation of her conversation with Sasha, Francia opens up about the side of Hollywood that cuts deep — the fake friends, the broken trust, and the pressure to pretend everything is fine. She shares how that emotional stress didn’t just stay emotional; it started showing up in her health through hormonal issues, PCOS symptoms, and full-body burnout.

In this raw conversation, Sasha and Francia Raisa pull back the curtain on what it’s actually like to have a public career while your hormones and mental health are in chaos. Francia shares how she went from landing back-to-back hit shows to quietly falling apart: severe depression, terrifying night sweats, gut issues, PCOS, endometriosis, and PMDD that had her sobbing in her trailer between takes. They talk about body image, being a Latina in an industry obsessed with boxes and accents, and why women so often keep pushing through when everything in their body is saying stop. Part 2 goes even deeper into freezing her eggs and redefining her future.

Welcome to Season 3 of *Women in the Nude* with Sasha Pieterse. After a whirlwind few months filled with burnout, a health scare, and a major life reset, Sasha returns with honesty and vulnerability to share what’s been happening behind the scenes. From experiencing a seizure and learning to slow down, to finding balance between motherhood, work, and her own well-being, this episode is a heartfelt reflection on healing and prioritizing self-care. Sasha also opens up about launching her new Substack community, growing her brand Hippie Water, and introducing her latest collaboration with 24K Wellness — the Sasha Serum, created to support women’s health and confidence from the inside out. It’s a new chapter for Sasha and for *Women in the Nude* — bigger, better, and more connected than ever. Season 3 premieres December 1st, sponsored by Hippie Water and 24K Wellness.

Plus, Sasha talks about how pregnancy, postpartum changes, and even her epilepsy have been connected to her PCOS, offering rare honesty and hope for anyone who feels alone in their journey. If you’re navigating PCOS, or want to better understand this complex condition, this episode is a must-watch.

This week on WITN, I’m joined by the incredibly sharp, insightful, and wildly resourceful Kathy Schenfelt. Kathy’s love for entertainment started from an early age, like helping to cast Renesmee from Twilight in her hometown in Spain. ;) Since then, she’s carved out a dynamic career rooted in storytelling, community, and lifting women up in Hollywood.

We talk about her current passions, her commitment to creating space for women in the entertainment industry, and—of course—some of our most hilariously embarrassing moments we've both had. You’re not going to want to miss this one. Let’s bare some truth with Kathy.
