I\u2019ve recently spent a lot of time in rooms of women.\xa0I\u2019ve been a guest speaker at a couple of women\u2019s retreats.\xa0I led my own women\u2019s retreat.\xa0I\u2019ve been to some incredible networking events for women.\xa0And, I just keep being reminded why it is so critical for women to be in rooms with other women. Women are facing epidemic levels of loneliness and isolation. Research from the Campaign to End Loneliness shows that women, more than men, report feelings of loneliness.\xa0We often don\u2019t see other women in the roles we aspire to have.\xa0And, as we rise in leadership, we often don\u2019t have many women sitting beside us.\xa0\xa0\nAt the end of the day, everyone wants to feel seen, heard, held, and valued. Unfortunately, these are feelings that women don\u2019t often experience at work. Frequently, our ideas are dismissed, ignored, or co-opted by men. We\u2019re talked over, left out of conversations, and the social events where networking happens aren\u2019t always accessible to those of us with caregiving roles. So, where do we go to get the support we need?\nThat\u2019s where the power of being in rooms with other women comes in. When we gather with other women, we hear stories that reflect our own experiences, and that creates an undeniable sense of kinship and camaraderie. In these spaces, we\u2019re free to ideate, brainstorm, and plan with confidence because we know we\u2019re among those who will listen and champion us. We realize we\u2019re not alone in navigating a world that wasn\u2019t designed for us to thrive in\u2014and that realization is incredibly empowering.\nIn this episode, I explore how women can create spaces of support, share strategies for success, and build networks that lift each other up. When women come together, magic happens\u2014and that magic starts by getting in the room.\n\n\ufeffTune in to learn:\n\nWhy women are lonelier than men and how leadership roles often exacerbate isolation\n\nThe importance of finding spaces where you can feel seen, heard, and valued\n\nHow being in rooms with other women can spark ideation, support, and shared success\n\n\nDon't miss this powerful conversation on the importance of women creating and finding spaces where we can thrive together.\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
