Host Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks to the founder of Candor and Company and the author of a very inspiring book about achieving gender equality, Maureen Devine-Ahl. In this episode, they talk about how feminism plays a role in the business and home, the matriarchal societies, and how the pandemic (and all the stress it brought) affected moms. If you have been wondering whether you are a feminist or simply asking what it really means, this episode is perfect for you.
Maureen is on a mission to ensure the leaders of today and tomorrow are equipped to change the world. She is the author of How to Make the Matriarchy: The Power and Promise of Prioritizing Women, which explores systems, structures, and stories worldwide that demonstrate when women’s empowerment is prioritized, humanity benefits. Maureen is determined to be a participant in changing oppressive systems. She believes in the power of inclusion and works with leaders who strive to create a more equitable world.
