This is your Women's Stories podcast.

Welcome to Women’s Stories, where resilience isn’t an abstract idea—it’s lived, breathed, and forged, every day, by women just like you and me. When I think about resilience, I don’t just picture historic icons, but the women who have redefined possibility across every aspect of life. Take Eleanor Roosevelt—she didn’t just change what it meant to be First Lady; she transformed political activism and championed human rights on the world stage. Maya Angelou rose from immense personal adversity and gave us words that continue to lift generations. Barbara Walters carved out a space in journalism, proving women deserve not just a seat, but a voice, at the very top.

Today, stories of resilience come from extraordinary figures like Oprah Winfrey. Emerging from a childhood marked by poverty and trauma, she became one of the world’s most influential women. Through unrelenting drive, Oprah built a media empire and used her voice to create pathways for others. Helen Keller’s life speaks to resilience in its purest form—after losing her sight and hearing as a child, she became the first deaf-blind person to earn a college degree and dedicated her life to education and advocacy, with Anne Sullivan guiding her journey. Their partnerships remind us that support and mentorship are critical components of resilience.

But resilience isn’t only the story of those in the headlines. Sometimes, it’s embodied in women closest to us—mothers navigating institutions as the only woman of color, grandmothers breaking traditions to pursue higher education, daughters forging new identities in industries determined to define them. Think about Bridgett Burrick Brown, who after two decades as a professional model, stepped away from an industry obsessed with a narrow idea of beauty, choosing instead to lift women up to embrace self-worth from within.

What unites all these stories is not just what these women have accomplished—it’s their audacity to carve their own paths, to confront and redefine the expectations the world set for them. Whether pushing boundaries in science, surviving war, founding startups, or building communities, the theme is clear: society may write rules, but resilient women rewrite the story.

For this new season, I’m excited to dive into themes that shine a light on resilience in all its forms. We’ll explore overcoming adversity in male-dominated fields, healing through art and storytelling, navigating motherhood and career, advocating for mental health, and financial empowerment. We’ll bring you voices of women leading social change, pioneering in STEM, defying cultural norms, and finding strength after loss or trauma. We’ll also spotlight unsung heroines in local communities—the neighbors, teachers, and entrepreneurs whose everyday courage shapes lives.
