  • Hoping for a wider range of women

    Love Sali & love the pod! Just wish she had some younger (millennial & gen z) & more diverse women on. I truly don’t need to hear what middle aged white women have to say because then we start moving into “white feminism” pod area.

    Ugh another podcast with privileged women yammering on not offering any real advice they can use in their careers.
