From gender based disadvantages and externally imposed childhood limitations, to high self worth and "bigger and better" trades, this discussion zooms in on what it is to be a woman empowered in actions, influence, and negotiation. Zoe’s approach to influence aligns with a vision of gender equality, framing it not as control or domination but as something generous, human, and expansive. Although unplanned, our conversation quickly becomes personal, reinforcing the eternal truth that meaningful change starts at home. Our discussion also challenges transactional thinking and highlights how limiting assumptions about others can shrink what’s possible.
