Beyond Hashtags: The Deeper Meaning of International Women's Day —Amy Lou Jenkins | Ep 150

If you’ve ever wondered what it really means for women to “find their voice,” this episode will leave you thinking differently. I sat down with Amy Lou Jenkins, an award-winning author and advocate, to talk about how reclaiming voice is more than a slogan—it’s a practice rooted in courage, belonging, and honest storytelling. We dive into questions like: Why are women called a minority when they’re actually more than half the population? And how does unleashing our authentic selves ripple out to change not just our own lives, but the world? Podcasters and creators will take away: How cultural scripts shape the way women (and all creators) pursue their passions—and strategies to unravel those scripts. Why nature and journaling can help you find clarity in your story, and how writing can reveal themes you didn’t know were there. The difference between finding and reclaiming your voice, and why most of us never truly “found” it in the first place. This conversation is honest, warm, and full of thought-provoking moments. You’ll walk away inspired to bring your best, whatever that looks like for you—and maybe encouraged to nudge the world a little brighter.
