Under the Sisterhood
The Under the Sisterhood Podcast is where women's lived experiences become a catalyst for understanding, connection, and change.
Hosted by Elizabeth Elfenbein, each conversation invites women from around the world to share their stories with honesty, courage, and vulnerability. Together, they explore the moments that shape our lives—from health and mental wellness to leadership, identity, relationships, caregiving, equity, and the many experiences that define what it means to be a woman.
More than a podcast, Under the Sisterhood is a storysharing platform. Every conversation contributes to Women's Lived Experience Intelligence™, helping transform individual stories into insights that can shape healthcare, innovation, research, and culture.
At Under the Sisterhood, we believe every woman's story matters. Through storysharing, we create space for women to be seen, heard, valued, and celebrated—one conversation at a time.

Resilient Roots. Dayna Dorsey’s Journey from Orphan to Changemaker
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we’re getting under the hood with Dayna-Ashley Dorsey a mother, daughter, sister and a 2x orphan and foster care survivor, chosen-adoptee turned 2x published author, tech founder, CEO, and dedicated philanthropist and community reformer. She serves as an advocate leader for the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) and as an educator for the West Coast of Florida’s Survivors Teaching Students® (STS) Program in honor of her mother's story and legacy. A voice for the voiceless and overlooked, Dayna is a passionate mental health advocate, trained in Trauma-Informed Care and certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA).
She founded Socially Conscious Kids to inspire at-risk youth and foster children to pursue education, careers, and entrepreneurship. She is also the visionary behind Little Orphan Ashley Camp—a legacy initiative that offers a creative and healing space where foster children are seen, heard, and empowered to build confidence, express emotion, and rediscover their self-worth through artistic outlets.
Dayna is the author of "Little Orphan Ashley" the debut #1 Children's biography and the first book of a 20- book series collection. She writes for those who were left behind—for the ones who grew up in silence, in systems, and in survival mode. She knows what it feels like to be unwanted, unseen, and still expected to succeed. Her life story is proof that rock bottom—and beating the odds—can still be a foundation.
