March 27, 2024 Episode 54: Queen Lili’uokalani
Join me to learn about the first (and last!) Queen Regent of the Hawaiian Islands. Queen Lili’uokalani took the throne during one of the most trying times in Hawaii history. She loved her kingdom and its people and led with peace and humanity. She is a shining example of staying true to your vision, sacrificing for those who trust you, and adapting to a world that doesn’t see your worth.

March 20, 2024 Episode 53: Queen Nanny of the Windward Maroons
On today's episode we're going to be talking about a woman who was an outstanding military leader, a symbol of unity and strength, a freedom fighter... and a bit of an enigma. The history writers during her lifetime viewed her (and her people) as dangerous animals, and wrote of them as such; however, Jamaican Maroons speak of her reverently and still believe that she looks after them and protects them to this day.

February 28, 2024 Episode 50: Flo Hyman
Today we're talking about an amazing volleyball player (she was a feared and admired outside hitter) who was also one of the most charismatic athletes that the world had ever seen. She had a smile that could energize the biggest arena, and leadership qualities that drew her teammates to her.
It wasn't just her athletic talent that was amazing... at a time when athletes were striving for individual glory, she was focused on her TEAM more than on herself. She advocated for women in sports AND support for women's sports programs.

Imagine finding the love of your life at age 21... and discovering that it wasn't a person, but a discipline. That's what happened to Keiko Fukuda.

This mighty, tiny, martial artist was incredible in her commitment. Join me to learn some of her story in today's episode... part of our series celebrating women athletes.

January 31, 2024 Episode 46: Hannah Szenes
When selecting women to share during our tribute to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I found so many who were worth learning about and celebrating. I chose Hannah Szenes for this week's episode because I was really touched by her laser-focus on doing what she could. She never thought of her own safety. She was tough and strong and fearless. She wanted to be a poet and live a simple, quiet, peaceful life. Instead, she ran to help and acknowledged that even if her mission was unsuccessful, European Jews would hear that she had tried to help them.... and that was enough for her.

January 24, 2024 Episode 45: Irena Sendler
Join us in honoring International Holocaust Remembrance Day and learn about Irena Sendler, a Polish social worker who was resourceful, brave, and humble about all her contributions. Not much was known about Irena until a group of high school girls in Kansas stumbled across an article that mentioned her and decided to learn more.
This episode bounces between Irena's early life through World War II and 1999, when she was rediscovered, and her accomplishments became better-known. Ignore my sniffles during certain points. I hope that you are as inspired by Irena's story as I was.
If you would like to learn more www.irenasendler.org is a fantastic resource.
