Episode 33: She Lived It: The Reality of Workplace Inequality for Women

On this episode of All Things Pink, we welcome a very special guest—Carolyn Magers, our host’s mom and a trailblazing working woman whose decades-long career offers a powerful look into the realities women faced in the workplace starting in the 1950s.This is Part 1 of a two-part series honoring a strong, independent, and empowered woman who quietly helped pave the way for future generations of working women. Through her story, we explore what it truly meant to build a career in a time of limited opportunities, rigid societal expectations, and deeply rooted gender inequality.From navigating workplace disparities and unfair promotions to balancing career and life, Carolyn shares firsthand experiences that highlight the resilience it took to succeed—and the barriers women had to overcome along the way. We also dive into the slow pace of change, the realities of pay gaps, and the lasting impact of those who pushed forward despite it all.This conversation is more than a reflection—it’s a reminder of how far women have come and why these conversations still matter today. All Things Pink is a podcast for women over 40, where we share real stories, real experiences, and real conversations about life, career, relationships, health, and everything in between. Subscribe to @allthingspinkroundtable for more powerful conversations. Also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Connect with us on our social media platforms:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allthingspinkroundtable/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575199350057Check out our partner channels and content on social media and on our website at www.allgreatthings.lifeAll Great Adventures:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@allgreatadventuresInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/allgreatadventuresofficial/Hijack Your WellnessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HijackYourWellnessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hijackyourwellnessGood People, Great ThingsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoodPeopleGreatThingsContact us at [email protected]© All uploads are the intellectual property of All Great Things, LLC.
