b'When you think about heart attacks you probably picture a guy grabbing his arm and clutching his chest. Those are typical symptoms for men \\u2013 but women experiencing heart attacks and heart disease very differently. I speak to a Marybeth Nayard who shares her personal experience and what women need to know about heart disease.

We live in a democracy but how many of us truly understand how our government works and how we can make government work for us? I speak to Jen Devor co-founder and President of Better Civics which creates free educational resources for community organizations including tool kits, creative campaigns, events and media to better explain how government works and encourage individuals to be more involved in civic engagement.
