Podcasts about through women

From parenting struggles to podcasting success, Katy Weber's ADHD journey has reshaped her life. Diagnosed at 45, Katy—a health coach and founder of Women & ADHD—found herself rethinking everything she thought she knew about ADHD. This unexpected self-discovery helped her understand how ADHD had influenced her as a mother, professional, and individual. Through her podcast, she's built a supportive, encouraging space for neurodivergent women to connect, share stories, and find community.Katy's story is one of resilience and self-discovery, full of twists that many will find relatable. Before entering the ADHD advocacy world, Katy spent years as a journalist, covering a range of human experiences and honing her ability to tell powerful stories. With experience at publications like National Geographic and PsychCentral, she now brings her storytelling expertise to Women & ADHD, sharing stories and insights that make listeners feel seen and understood. This episode captures her journey from the fast-paced world of New York City to finding a new sense of balance in the Hudson Valley, where she has found purpose in health coaching and community-building.Through Women & ADHD, Katy addresses topics that resonate with her listeners on a personal level, such as the complex relationship between ADHD and binge eating and moving beyond diet culture to embrace a more holistic approach to health. She shares how ADHD affects not only personal identity but also how women show up in their work and family lives. Katy's story goes beyond diagnosis; it's a journey of learning, unlearning, and embracing the strengths that come with ADHD. Her message is clear: it's never too late to understand your own mind and rewrite your narrative in ways that are both empowering and authentic.Resources:Website: https://www.womenandadhd.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenandadhdpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/womenandadhd Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

Jayne Henderson and Sarah Weinberg join us to talk about Women in Lutherie, an online community and mentorship program connecting female instrument makers from around the world.  Jayne is based in Asheville, North Carolina and is a second-generation guitarmaker. (Her father, Wayne Henderson, is a legendary builder of acoustic guitars and mandolins.) Sarah is based in Tel Aviv, where she's the only female luthier in the entire city.  Through Women in Lutherie, Sarah was able to meet Jayne and shadow her for two weeks in North Carolina, studying her build process. They attended our 2024 Fretboard Summit together and even started building a pair of ukuleles back at Jayne's shop.  On this week's show, we hear all about the fellowship, what they learned from each other over the last two weeks, what being a luthier in Tel Aviv is like, and - most importantly - how we can inspire more women to take up guitarmaking.  EJ Henderson Guitars & Ukuleles:  https://www.ejhendersonguitars.com https://www.instagram.com/ejhendersonguitars/ Sarah Weinberg:  https://www.instagram.com/what_is_sarah_doing/ Women in Lutherie:  https://www.womeninlutherie.org Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal:  http://fretboardjournal.com/subscribe Our next Fretboard Summit takes place August 21-23, 2025 at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music.

The status “Educated & Broke” is about to change for women in Central Florida thanks to the determination and perseverance of Arlene Blake, Founder and Executive Director of Women on the Rise. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, hosts Samí Haiman-Marrero and Chris Majocha discuss with Arlene the transformative program her organization has designed and implemented to solve the problem of highly educated women dissatisfied in their careers or unable to advance socioeconomically because they don't have the proper support and guidance.   Through Women on the Rise's “Educated & Broke” program, women are equipped with invaluable resources to articulate their worth, navigate salary negotiations, chart their career trajectory, secure mentors, manage finances, invest wisely, and kickstart side hustles. Notably, the program also extends a helping hand to single mothers by providing free childcare during workshops. Some of these highly educated women are on public assistance to complement their salaries and receive financial guidance to navigate the “benefits cliff” where an increase of salary doesn't necessarily offset losing the public assistance they need to meet the needs of their families. Arlene shares, "By us having these types of workshops and working with women, we've been able to see women completely renegotiate their salary, adding upwards of $30,000 to what they were making before." The ripple effect of empowerment spurred by Educated & Broke transcends individual participants, inspiring a cascade of confidence and self-advocacy among women. It also creates a pipeline of mentors that support other women in their workplaces and neighborhoods. Bolstered by grants and strategic partnerships, Women on the Rise is committed to expanding its reach and providing robust support to women in Central Florida. But they need all the help they can get.

We all need resilience to handle setbacks and adversity in life. Today's focus is on building that “bounce-back muscle” that enables us to be resilient in the ways we show up in the face of change and grief. Join us to learn more! Teresa Bitner is a Professional Certified Coach who partners with those who have been knocked down by life and are looking to bounce back to live boldly. She's a speaker and author whose specialization is resiliency, change, and loss. Building resiliency and learning steps for surviving and thriving in the midst of constant change distinguish those who live boldly from those who live life in fear. Teresa is the author of Soul Love: How A Dog Taught Me to Breathe Again. She is passionate about giving back, as evidenced by her volunteer work with the ICF Austin chapter. She is a former board member and Community Outreach Director, and she serves on the Advisory Council. Through Women for Change and Stand Beside Them, Teresa provides pro bono coaching for women in poverty and veterans and their spouses. In today's conversation, Teresa openly shares her personal grief journey and why she loves working with people around resiliency. Show Highlights: How Teresa has built resiliency since her difficult childhood days and into adulthood when she suddenly found herself a widow and single mom Top resiliency traits that Teresa recognized in herself: having goals about what you need to do and being willing to accept help when you need it What resiliency means to Teresa: “To be able to withstand and recover quickly from difficult conditions” Why it's possible to build resiliency if it doesn't come to you naturally How Teresa assesses someone's resiliency, beginning with your beliefs about change Characteristics of resiliency: Looking at change as an opportunity. Accepting change as a part of life. Being a constant learner about life. Being flexible. Having a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. How to approach a coaching client in dealing with change by identifying the angst, the facts, and what they CAN control How to ask the right questions about the changes a client is experiencing and point them to the best resources Considerations in coaching people toward resiliency: Acknowledge and celebrate their accomplishments so far. Help them begin a gratitude practice. Key takeaways from Teresa: Remember that there are different levels of resiliency. Take your resiliency pulse.

Our guest in this episode of Money Tales is Barbara Pierce. Among other things, Barbara is an avid lottery player. She and her husband have already achieved the financial success they need to make their dreams come true. So, the lottery playing isn't about her — it's about playing against the odds to help enrich others. Barbara's strategy is to buy tickets in areas where the winnings would make a material positive difference to the vendor. And her plans for the jackpot are focused on funding a foundation that would help Barbara give away even more financial resources to the causes she cares most about. This activity is indicative of the purpose-driven person that Barbara is. Barbara is the founder of Women with Capital, a pitch-free learning community for women with wealth, who are interested in making social change through investing and philanthropy. Through Women with Capital, she is dedicated to educating, supporting and inspiring women to invest in alignment with their values and vision. As an angel investor focused on female-founded companies, Barbara is a member of Pipeline Angels, Portfolia and the Angel Capital Association. She is a proud member of the International Women's Forum (IWF), the Women Donors Network and SheEO, and she serves on the REDF Advisory Council. Barbara is also the founder of Transformative Giving and has 25 years of expertise in major and planned giving, with a focus on facilitating partnerships between top philanthropists. As a cum laude graduate of Wellesley College, Barbara received her M.A. in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin with an emphasis on human rights. See all episodes >

In the fifth podcast of Arguing History, Lynn Dumenil and Christopher Capozzola consider the relationship between America’s involvement in World War I and the granting of women the right to vote. As they note, when the war broke out women were enjoying considerable momentum at the state level, having won the right in several states. Together they discuss the impact of the war upon their efforts, looking at how the war fractured some organizations, led to the creation of new ones, and introduced new concepts of citizenship and participating into the public discourse that challenged both the suffrage movement and its opponents. Lynn Dumenil is Robert Glass Cleland Professor of American History, Emerita at Occidental College and the author of The Second Line of Defense: American Women and World War I; The Modern Temper: American Culture and Society in the 1920s; and Through Women’s Eyes, which she coauthored with Ellen Carol DuBois. Christopher Capozzola is associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author of Uncle Sam Wants You: World War I and the Making of the Modern American Citizen and co-curator of The Volunteers: Americans join World War I, a multi-platform public history initiative commemorating the centennial of America’s First World War.
