S2 E9: International Women's Day - where are we?

My Happy Money Journey with Phoebe Blamey

In this special episode, I delved into various important topics surrounding women's empowerment and gender equality.

I began by acknowledging and celebrating the incredible women around the world, while also highlighting the need for discussions on pressing issues such as the gender pay gap and domestic violence. I want us to be having more conversations about the interconnectedness between financial freedom and domestic violence, stressing the importance of women having control over their finances to escape abusive situations.

I shared a powerful example of Jackie O, a trailblazing woman in the media industry, who took a stand against a gender pay gap at her workplace, showcasing the impact of speaking out against inequality. I urged celebrities and individuals in positions of influence to advocate for gender equality and financial empowerment.

Throughout the episode, I emphasized the need for women to be represented in leadership positions, politics, and sports, challenging the outdated notion that women must choose between family and career. I highlighted the positive shift towards paternity leave and increased involvement of men in caregiving roles, promoting a more balanced and supportive environment for all.

I paid tribute to the fearless women who paved the way for future generations, acknowledging their contributions and leadership. I encouraged listeners to embrace their own awesomeness and continue the journey towards gender equality and empowerment.

Overall, the episode served as a call to action for individuals to advocate for gender equality, challenge societal norms, and celebrate the achievements of women past, present, and future. Happy International Women's Day!
