- Ep. 92: Inspire Inclusion: Celebrating International Women's Day 2024 Tish & Ellen 29:33
March 8th is International Womans Day 2024!
As we celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month under the banner of “Inspire Inclusion,” we promise you'll be moved by the remarkable stories that are defining women's empowerment today. We're delving into the power of influential literature, like Michelle Obama's “The Light We Carry” and Chrissy King's “The Body Liberation Project,” and discussing the impactful ways in which International Women's Day galvanizes unity and progress for women around the world. And have you ever wondered how a box of Girl Scout cookies could represent a giant leap for womankind? We discuss this on the podcast too.
The path to the top is steep, especially for women in leadership, and the view from above reveals a landscape still lacking in diversity. This episode pulls back the curtain on the stark underrepresentation of women in the highest corporate roles, and I'll share how mentorship turned my own aspirations into achievements. We're laying out practical steps and initiatives—such as mentorship programs, workshops, and advocacy campaigns—that promise to elevate women's voices and dismantle the barriers that have kept too many from reaching their potential.
Our journey through this month's theme we discuss the inspiring women who have guested on the show who are changing the game across many different aspects of midlife. You'll hear about Elizabeth White's innovative CoLiving solutions for older women, Susan Salinger's expertise on women in healthcare, and the transformative role of women in sustainable agriculture and sports and dance with Julia Adam. These stories not only highlight the strides we've made but also serve as a call to support fundamental causes like Take Your Daughters to Work Day and We The Women by Julie Suk about the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, underscoring our collective responsibility to champion women's equality every single day.
