Episode Description
In a modern-day career trajectory, 3-4 career transitions are expected purely resulting form technology driven workplace transformations. Staying agile, relevant and modern in skills are challenging enough for anyone in the emerging fast phased professional world. This becomes a harder task for women who are entrusted to carry babies to term, raise children, and remain the caregivers of their families. Increasing number of women are making the choice between work and family, some even delaying marriage or bypassing marriage. Another challenge women face is the lack of fellow female mentors. Juggling family and career, women also tend to self-select out of professional networking that their male counterparts naturally develop. How to best harmonize the various roles life thrusts upon us women, how can we lift each other up and how can we take this shared journey while pulling young women along is an important question of our times. Let’s talk!

Our show is about understanding that each person’s passion, life experiences and journey towards realizing their economic prosperity are unique. That unique journey cannot be made without self-empowerment and fellow travelers to enable success. The show explores how every human interaction has the potential for transforming all those who are engaged, seek to empower audiences by helping them find the path towards their pinnacle, and share experiences of others to help draw insight to help audiences shape their own path. While the individual journey is unique, none of us realize our vision of prosperity alone. The importance of a shared journey, need to understand self-interest holistically, sharing the burden, reaching the top by pulling others up, and seeing the collective strength because of our diversity are a part of the show’s dialogue. Keeping the soul at peace and embracing happiness, to see what is just right, is critical to unleash your inner power.
