Women and Work
Podcast Description
The workplace can feel very different for women than for men. Women often feel they have to prove themselves, that they’re evaluated by how they look, or that their opinions are not respected. They feel Mom Guilt for leaving their kids while they pursue a career and worry about taking a job that fuels their passion instead of their pocketbook. We examine these real life challenges of women who are climbing the corporate ladder, growing their own business, and navigating the complex juggle of work and family. We explore how women like you can make work fit your life, not the other way around.

That’s something Anna DeShawn, Founder of E3 Radio and The Qube, learned as she built a media platform focused on telling stories from the LGBTQ community—especially Black and Brown voices often overlooked by mainstream media.
Along the way, she faced industry barriers, changing political climates, and the realities of entrepreneurship. Instead of forcing a path that didn’t feel right, she embraced what she calls “the power of the pivot.”
Anna shares why creating your own lane can sometimes be the most powerful response to being left out of traditional ones—and how relationships, creativity, and resilience helped her turn storytelling into a full-time career.
What’s the biggest career pivot you’ve ever made?
