Women have accomplished so much in the world, but we never hear enough about them.

Well, we’d like to change that–welcome to The Riveting Rosies Podcast with Corissa Decker & Elise Cantu, where we’ll be sharing the incredible stories of amazing women and how they’ve changed the world.

Our goal is to leave you feeling inspired and empowered by the great women who have come before us.

While most of the stories we will be sharing with you focus on the positive and wonderful things women have done, we will occasionally tell the tale of a woman who decided not to use her powers for good.

We've come so far, but there’s still progress to be made.

So roll up those sleeves and let’s get to work. 

Because everything’s coming up Rosies.
