Honoring the Women Who Shaped You: Inheritance, Interruption & Identity Evolution

Before you became who you are, there were women who carried something for you. In this Women’s History Month episode of Your Odyssey Podcast, Tara and Karen reflect on the women who shaped their story. They talk about the ones they watched, the ones whose labor went unseen, and the mentors who stepped in at just the right time to break through their hesitation. Karen shares about the women in her lineage who “made do,” often shrinking and sometimes lacking a voice, but who also showed fierce strength that now inspires her passion for voice work and generational change. Tara tells the story of a mentor who confirmed her decision to return to school, reminding us that sometimes what we need most is to see someone else living the life we’re afraid to claim. From inherited resilience to intentional evolution, this episode invites you to consider what you have absorbed and what you are choosing to carry forward in a new way. ✨ Question of the Day: What’s one truth the women before you taught you?
