Send us Fan MailIs patriarchy still holding you back in your career? Have you ever wondered how women manage to shatter the glass ceiling in male-dominated industries? Join us on this episode of the Say it Sister podcast as Lucy shares the gritty details of her career in the energy sector, highlighting the obstacles women frequently encounter. Meanwhile, Karen provides a fascinating contrast with her experiences in PR and communications, where the leadership landscape remains male-heavy despite the majority of the workforce being female. Together, we dive into how our role models have shaped our journeys and the ongoing struggle to preserve our identities, including the personal decisions around changing or keeping our names after marriage.We don't stop there. We explore the often ignored yet critical challenges women face both at work and in their personal lives—divorce, miscarriages, heavy periods, domestic abuse, menopause, and perimenopause. Through heartfelt stories, we underline the urgency of acknowledging these issues and fostering supportive environments. We also emphasize the transformative power of heart-centered workplace relationships, where intuition, empathy, and genuine human connection take precedence. Tune in as we advocate for a shift from traditional, rigid business interactions to a more compassionate and effective work culture.Send us a comment, ask a question, or suggest a topic.
