While watching a Utah Jazz game, Josh’s daughter noticed a woman officiating and excitedly said, “Ooo…a woman ref!” It was a small moment, but it revealed the power of seeing someone like you accomplish something you may never have imagined was possible.

In this episode, Josh explores why positive female role models matter, how examples expand a young girl’s vision of her potential, and why true strength does not require women to surrender kindness, tenderness, or compassion.
