MOMMAS WHO LEAD

In this powerful episode of Mommas Who Lead, host Laura Caroffino sits down with Kate Grant, the founding CEO of Fistula Foundation and author of the new memoir, No Woman Left Behind: A Journey of Hope to Heal Every Woman Injured in Childbirth.

✨ Kate shares how she walked away from a successful Madison Avenue career to build a global nonprofit that has funded over 100,000 life-changing surgeries for women suffering from obstetric fistula—an injury most of the world has never heard of, but that affects over a million women across Africa and Asia.

This is a conversation about leadership with heart, the power of emotional intelligence, and what it means to mother a movement. Whether you're a purpose-driven entrepreneur, a nonprofit leader, or a momma trying to find your voice again—this episode will leave you inspired to lead with greater purpose and impact.

🎙 Topics we cover:

• Why emotional intelligence is the leadership skill of the future
• The silent global crisis affecting over 1 million women
• How Kate scaled Fistula Foundation from 1 country to 35
• Building a legacy while staying grounded in empathy
• The bold decision to turn down government funding—and why it worked
• A real-life story of saying yes to a calling
