This week we’re talking to Victoria Pelletier. Victoria is a corporate executive and a keynote speaker, and just a really inspirational person. I have had the privilege of knowing her for about two years and follow her on LinkedIn with some amazing content and really just a great person. We talk about the use of the word “bitch” in the professional world, the media's portrayal of working women, gender norms in same-sex marriages and the challenges and progress of achieving true equality. We also discuss Victoria’s personal experiences with delegation and equality at home and in the workplace, as well as her hopes for the future of children in the LGBTQ+ community.

In this episode you will learn:

• Equality requires progress in pay parity, diversity and inclusivity, and shared responsibility at home
• More women exited the workforce during COVID due to taking on more responsibility for taking care of household duties and homeschooling
• Men are starting to pick up household responsibilities and understand the importance of learning
• The media can shape and normalize societal norms and behaviors
• The generational shift in knowledge and acceptance can drive progress towards equality
• It's important for children to define their own path and level of success.
