Gen-Z-enius
Whether we like it or not, Gen Z is here to fuck some shit up...and we need it. These are some of the most brave, unique, unapologetic, and exquisite human beings. Their role in this space and time is clear - to radically object to what isn't working for the newer generations. We've been stagnant in our systems, our thinking - and it once served us. Now is the time to turn to the younger generations to meld what was and what is becoming.Romanshika Singh grew up in Nepal and a career in marketing, media, onscreen personality wasn't a thing - she made it one. She loves to create, to be on camera, to create a desire marketing for what people actually need - but she also goes beyond that...she's understanding the data and analytics behind AI and the algorithms being well aware of the problem that we're facing today which involves important information being suppressed for those who need to see it. She's blazing the trail for women in media, Nepalese women in onscreen personality, and humanizing the algorithms so that we manage both sides - responsible reporting, but also, honoring what each individual finds to be important in their lives.Find Romanshika on LinkedIn and Instagram, she loves to connect and to have conversations about the goings on of the world as a powerful Gen Z.Thanks for tuning in to Women Making Moves - follow and rate us on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram.

Women Are Exhausted From Suppression

Women Are Exhausted From Suppression
Isabel Draughon - an exceptional human and 2 decade entrepreneur. When two soul-led humans get together, you feel the palpable passion and drive in their energy and voices. That is Isabel and I - we often call each other our soul sister...it truly feels that way. Isabel shares her gifts with the world through coaching women in business (whether on their own or executives in organizations) with one message in mind - honor yourself. You are so much more than what you "do" - and Isabel implores you to, "come home". Often in speakings with high powered women, she asks simply "Who are you"? And it's one of the most difficult questions to answer because of our lifelong conditioning that our worth hinges on our title or how much we make. She shows women how to excavate who they are on the soul level, their true essence. Much like me - and, as we discuss, no one can do what we do, how we do. When you find the coach, the person that sets your soul on fire, plunge in the deep end and get ready to work. Find Isabel on her website and connect with her on LinkedIn. Also, make sure to sign up for her conference in October to allow your soul to unfold - The Soul Whispers...Listen.Thank you for tuning into Women Making Moves!

Why Not Me, Why Not You, Why Not Us?
Heather Wallander is starting a revolution...like many of us, she endured workplace psychological abuse, discrimination, and retaliation. She recently went viral with her story and is on the other side fighting hard to drive the change we're wishing to see. The thing about workplace abuse is that it is so rampant, so commonplace, that it's often ignored or not even realized. Further, if you do realize it, then come the NDA's, the arbitration, the severances...Heather is on a mission to ensure you have all of the information both heading into the fight or heading out of the organization. Where this all begins and ends is of course with leadership, while every person in an organization builds a company's culture, the power resides at the top - so any leadership wishing to know more because either you're aware of a toxic leak in your org or, you're wanting to perform a wellness check, get a hold of Heather. Visit Heather's company at https://brioedge.com/ and learn about arbitration and join the revolt at https://www.arbitrationrevolt.com/. Heather welcomes questions, conversations, etc. on LinkedIn as well. Thank you for tuning into Women Making Moves!

Creating Health Equity for Women
Kanwal Haq is on a mission, she is a medical anthropologist and brilliant researcher on a quest to bring true health equity to all women. Gone will be the days when women aren't believed by their healthcare provider by anchoring in the belief that knowledge is power. Kanwal's book, "Taking Care of You" is the go to for common conditions women are facing, the ones we don't learn about in school, the non-reproductive issues that are common killers that we don't know or hear about.Kanwal and her team don't just dwell on what we don't know, she moves through to getting answers and to shift the narrative from the problem, to the solution - the action toward what we're doing about changing the healthcare system to be inclusive toward all humans, and she is rooted in facts and research within the scientific, but also the humanities community. A trained doula, she is focused on creating the best possible outcomes for women and to understand what is actually going on in our bodies.Buy the book, "Taking Care of You" here - think of it as a women's healthcare guide or encyclopedia that includes both lived experience and of course research from experts.

Embracing Duality
Amanda Treppa loved her job AND she experienced workplace abuse. More than one thing can be true at once and we explore this notion to its depths during this episode showcasing our work in workplace psychological safety, and how we got here (as society, the abusers, the systems). Amanda fought back, embraced the duality, and embarked on the butterfly effect in every aspect of her life to see what was in store for her at her soul level.While we are not grateful for the abuse, we are grateful for the invitations to explore ourselves deeper, to create new opportunities we never thought were possible, and we forgive. Through empathy and activism, Amanda is driving the Workplace Psychological Safety Act forward in not one but TWO states - Michigan and Connecticut.Stay tuned to Amanda and her work in these two states as they will undoubtedly prevail in the coming year. Thank you for all that you do, and for sharing your story, Amanda.Find her on LinkedIn and on Instagram @Treppaisnottrippin, especially if you live in Michigan or Connecticut, to join the state team for workplace psychological safety act.Visit https://workplacepsychologicalsafetyact.org to learn more about the bill and how you can get involved or contact Amy or Amanda directly.Follow along with Women Making Moves by subscribing on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram.
