Happy International Women’s Week! This is the FINAL episode of this 4-part series! Did you listen to all of them? Let me know!

These special Impactful Women episodes are dedicated to my friend Alicia Neubauer who passed away last April from Metastatic Breast Cancer.

In these interviews, I spoke to nearly 50 women about their stories and experiences, their limiting beliefs, their advice for their younger selves, advice for future generations, and how they believe women are changing the world. 

You’ll hear from entrepreneurs, surgeons, psychologists, mothers, authors, survivors, and everyone in between. Women who have overcome insurmountable challenges and lived and loved through it all.

Stories of hope and happiness and show how strong humans are. How resilient we are.

It’s important to know in real life, not all people share the same experiences and opinions. So not all of the stories share my same opinions. Some interviews are longer, some are shorter.

No particular reason besides time restraints but I encourage you to find these guests after the show HERE in this download with ALL of the guests and their info.
