Brave Talks

Emily Nolan and WNBA star and agent Ticha Penicheiro talk about championing the value of women in every sphere. In this inspiring conversation, Ticha shares her road to success in professional women's basketball, and the ways she and others have fought (and continue to fight!) against the inequality women's sports leagues face today. As she and Emily discuss the difficulties facing women players, they point to some actionable ways everyone can help fight inequality, and quite literally, change the game.

From pounding the sidewalks of NYC with homemade gluten-free lasagnas to negotiating deals in boardrooms, the key factor to Vanessa's success as a mother and CEO of Feel Good Foods was not being afraid of failure. "Nobody gets to the top without failing and learning along the way. When I look back at my journey thus far, I am most grateful for—and not ashamed of—the speed bumps I encountered along the way."

In this special episode, Dr. Robin Berzin and Danielle Duboise talk about feminine leadership and inspire me to think out-of-the-box when it comes to creative solutions for family dynamics and work / life balance as a mother. I was intensely curious to hear about how they're handling their experiences as new mamas and running businesses with 200+ employees during a pandemic and quarantine.

Rachel Pierre from @mommifaceted takes over the mic and chats with guests Dorian Shaw and Stephanie Perkins. I went to high school with these women, and I'm particularly interested in what their different experiences were growing up, and now as mothers and Black females. The stories these women share open my eyes and my heart. I've never been racist, but I also was not anti-racist by standing idle and being colorblind. Black culture is beautiful. There is so much to celebrate and learn. Let this be the beginning of a wonderful unfolding of knowledge and empathy. #BlackLivesMatter Make sure to subscribe to Emily's Youtube channel and the Brave Talks newsletter (in the website link below) to receive a weekly message of inspiration from each guest.
