March just feels different. Over the past few days I've felt hopeful with warmer temperatures, the promise of flowers blooming in the weeks ahead and the joy that comes from celebrating Women's History Month.

I'm kicking off this special month with my guest Michelle Pack... a self-identifying feminist who empowers women through financial education and through her many civic and community contributions. Check out this conversation as she shares what life is like in northeast PA compared with Northern California and talks with me about the importance of women supporting other women. We also exchange our ideas of feminism with one another.
