In this episode, I sit down with Katie Deegan, a representative from Women4Election, an organisation dedicated to empowering women to run for office and increase gender representation in government. Katie shares insights on why equal representation in politics is critical for a fair and effective democracy, and delves into the unique challenges women face when stepping into leadership roles. From gender biases to balancing career and family, we explore the obstacles that still hold women back—and more importantly, how they can overcome them. Whether you're passionate about political change or simply curious about how women are reshaping the political landscape, this conversation offers inspiring and practical perspectives on breaking barriers and building a more inclusive future in politics.
