Ep. 80 No One Left Behind: Healing the Hidden Wounds of Motherhood Around the World w/ Kate Grant

June 13, 2025 • Heidi Schalk • Episode 80

In this powerful episode, we sit down with the passionate founder of the Fistula Foundation and author of No Woman Left Behind, to explore the life-changing work being done for women suffering from childbirth-related injuries in the world's most underserved regions. You’ll hear how one woman's journey from Madison Avenue to rural Africa sparked a global mission that’s now transformed over 100,000 lives—and counting. This conversation is full of compassion, purpose, and a deep reminder of how access to care can change everything.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired by the healing power of hope, advocacy, and dignity restored.

Kate Grant is the founding CEO of Fistula Foundation, the global nonprofit leader dedicated to treating childbirth injuries. A passionate advocate for maternal health, she has expanded critical fistula care across 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. No Woman Left Behind is her deeply personal account of the journey to bring healing to women suffering in silence. Grant joined the Foundation as its first chief executive in 2005 and has led the expansion from supporting one hospital in one country, Ethiopia, to its current position as the world leader in fistula treatment.
