  • 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.

  • Another vapid podcast

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