In today's episode, special guests Ashley Kindsvatter and Sara Petrie, Co-Founders and Co-Hosts of United SHE Stands podcast, share the arc of their careers. They explain how your one vote makes a difference.

Ashley Kindsvatter & Sara Petrie are the Co-Founders and Co-Hosts of the United SHE Stands podcast, a show dedicated to bringing kindness and women into politics.   

Ashley has always had a passion for leadership and politics. She has undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Computer Science and a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership. Although she has spent her career not engaged in politics and instead as an IT Professional in the data and analytics space, she knew she wanted to get involved and make an impact. 

Sara has a passion for kindness and lifting others up. She has a degree in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics. While Sara was not interested in politics at all until 2020, she knew even before starting her IT career that she wanted to help others more directly and make a positive impact on the world around her. She didn't find anything that could scratch that itch until she was approached about starting the United SHE Stands podcast to educate and inspire women to get more involved in politics.

To get involved and make an impact, Ashley and Sara knew they had to engage and get informed. They co-founded the United SHE Stands podcast in 2022 to bring other women along on their journey, so they too could get informed and feel empowered in politics.
