The Sweet Fire Podcast
by J.P. Mitchell
The Sweet Fire Podcast is for and about women who dare to let their fire light up the world. Our goal is to spark reflection that inspires great conversations with the girls we love. In this intergenerational journey, we're giving language to the complicated and brilliant work of raising up girls who know who they are. Inspired by J.P. Mitchell's Sweet Fire picture book, this broadcast seeks to highlight why the world needs women and girls to be more--not less--seen, heard and valued. It is our belief that women are natural solution-makers in society whose voices move the needle in every space where we show up. The ultimate goal is that no one hides their gifts--but instead we all enjoy a world where every voice makes it to the table--and everyone benefits. Hiding our light is overrated–it is time let our fire light up the world!Learn more about the Sweet Fire picture book at www.ohsweetfire.com.
