  • DOES NOT SUPPORT WOMEN

    I know MANY women that actually work with her, and after listening to her podcast, she is the complete opposite of what the title of her podcast says! She is interviewing other leaders, but is a tyrannical non-supportive leader who leads by EXTREME Chaos. Anyone that work for her - does not endorse her.

  • “Inspiring Women” does just that and are conversations all aspiring women need to hear.

    Women often minimize the hard work, connections and perseverance they rely on in their careers and life. This podcast is so necessary to share the stories of women who contribute to our world. I’m looking forward to more of Laurie’s conversations.

This podcast offers very personal interviews with women as they discuss their motivations and the many challenges they face along the way. Hearing their unique journeys and perspectives makes it clear that breaking barriers is no small feat! It is a great listen and truly inspiring!!
