Amy Taylor-Kabbaz and Samantha Sutherland are powerhouse women creating big waves in women's well-being circles. Amy is an Author and the founder of Mama Rising, the first Matrescence certification of its kind. She has broken new ground in our understanding and literacy of motherhood. Sam is a sought-after Facilitator and Speaker whose mission is to assist women to lead fulfilling and joyful lives. She works with corporations on removing work barriers and with individual women on the systematic barriers they face each and every day. In this conversation, you'll hear anger, rage, hope, laughter, optimism, and sisterhood. They discuss why they're angry about where women are at right now, why it's boring to still be angry about this stuff, and why there's so much to look forward to in the coming years. The system is rigged against women and when we are aware of that and can see ourselves as part of this rigged system - then we can create change. It's a juicy discussion.
