Crush Gender Stereotypes Daily

Shelia started A Girl Like Me Artwork to explore another industry. She had no idea it would inspire women around the world. Both young and mature. Listen in to this exclusive interview as we discuss how it started, how it’s going and what’s next on the horizon!WEB: https://www.agirllikemeart.comFOLLOW: @aGirlLikeMeArtFrom the founder: I know what it is like growing up in a small town with traditional ideas. Being afraid to raise my hand and speak out. To be made fun of for being smart. Not being able to see a life for myself beyond what I already knew.I also know what it's like to discover there is this big, wild, magical world out there. To travel, to become a robotics engineer and climb the ladder in a male-dominated field. I left a marriage that made me feel boxed in and raised a daughter as a single parent. I know what it is like to be paid less than my male colleagues and feel disrespected, looked down upon and judged simply for being a woman. To be told to smile more. To work 10x harder than all the men so I could succeed and get my seat at the table.I believe that some women are often STILL LIVING in a 1950’s cage that society built for them. I believe that females can be ANTHING and achieve ANY DREAM, but we often have to overcome so many obstacles to get there. So I say, ENOUGH ALREADY! Let’s push back, ladies.For more than 20 years, I had a successful (and highly technical) career in the software consulting field. I programmed robots, wrote thousands of lines of programming code, implemented automated processes, blah, blah, blah. Although I am grateful for the success I had, my soul and spirit longed for something different. Fortunately, I was able to retire from my technical career, and now I am a mixed-media artist with a focus on empowering women. My soul and spirit smile every, single day!I am inspired by girls and women. I think this inspiration started when my daughter was 2 years old – that was when I became a single Mom. It is soooooo challenging to raise children in this crazy, information–overloaded world! Raising a child without a partner increases the challenge tremendously. Raising a “girl” increases the challenge exponentially!About the show:► Website: http://www.ashsaidit.com► Need Goli Gummies? https://go.goli.com/1loveash5► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH584216►For discount Pangea Products: https://embracepangaea.grsm.io/ashsaiditmedia3226► Want the ‘coldest’ water? https://thecoldestwater.com/?ref=ashleybrown12► Become A Podcast Legend: http://ashsaidit.podcastersmastery.zaxaa.com/s/6543767021305► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ash-said-it/id1144197789► SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSaidItSuwanee► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1loveash► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsaidit► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog► Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/1LoveAsh/► Newsletter: manage1.com/subscribe?u=2a2ca3b799467f125b53863http://ashsaidit.us11.list-c8&id=a6f43cd472#atlanta #ashsaidit #ashsaidthat #ashblogsit #ashsaidit®Ash Brown is a gifted American producer, blogger, speaker, media personality and event emcee.
