022: Real Talk: Women, Work, Bias & Community with Annette Garsteck & Sandra Wint

Sometimes we pause the guest interviews to talk about what we’re seeing in real time.This episode is one of those. In this conversation, co-hosts Annette Garsteck and Sandra Wint reflect on the episodes so far, the stories that stayed with them, the themes that keep repeating, and the very real tension women navigate between career, caregiving, bias, and being seen as whole humans at work. They revisit conversations on fertility and career timing, domestic abuse and leadership, disability and inclusion, loving people at work, and why so many women are choosing entrepreneurship for freedom and flexibility.Annette and Sandra also dig into a recent “women in tech” report that shows a significant perception gap between how men and women see career opportunities, and why advocacy (not just mentorship) matters if we want to change anything.
