Her experience in male-dominated fields and at male-dominated companies gave her a unique perspective that women in the workforce deal with everyday. It was those experiences as well as conversations with her friends that inspired her to start a podcast that would dig deep into women's lives with the hopes of inspiring others that are on a similar path.
