Episode Description

Gretchen Carlson is mother to two children, a journalist, author, Ted Talk alum, and a fierce, fearless internationally recognized advocate for women's rights. She started her journalism career as a political reporter in Richmond, Virginia and worked her way up through local newsrooms in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dallas before moving to national news in 2000 as co-host and corespondent for CBS's The Saturday Early Show. In 2005, Gretchen joined Fox News, where she co-hosted the number one cable morning news show, Fox and Friends, for more than seven years.

Gretchen's catalog of interviews included every US president, vice president, and presidential candidate, as well as hundreds of leaders in business entertainment and politics. Yet, it was her groundbreaking 2016 sexual harassment lawsuit against Roger Ailes, Chairman of Fox News, alleging she had been fired from her show for refusing his sexual advances that made Gretchen the face of workplace harassment, inaugurated her work to support survivors and hold predators accountable that led her to being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.

Gretchen is also the author of two books, the New York Times bestseller, Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back and Getting Real. She recently co-founded the nonprofit Lift Our Voices to end the silencing of harassment victims through forced arbitration and nondisclosure agreements.

She joins us on Parenting for the Future to discuss her experiences and her work, and how we parents can create a future world where our children do not live in fear of sexual predators and sexual harassment.
