Clutching Our Pearls: Podcast for a Revolution

Women have lost jobs, career status, a year of our lives, and damn near lost our minds to The Shecession. Marie Hale, CEO and sales and marketing visionary, talks with feminist leaders in all sectors about the atrocity of it all and how the hell we are going to bail out 7 million burned-out moms.

Young women have been told for the last thirty years or so that if we really want it and we work hard enough, we can have it all: career, family, financial independence. But for all the progress we’ve made, 2020 slapped us with a brand new feminine recession. The options for building a family and a career weren’t great before, and now they’ve all but disappeared. Suffice it to say, we’re mad as hell!

As a CEO, sales and marketing veteran, single mom and now homeschool headmistress, Marie Hale has been through the wringer more than once. This time, she funneled her anger into not just a new business, but a new business model. In the last months of 2020, Marie did her mad-scientist entrepreneur thing and founded fwd@revolution for women and others who have been disenfranchised by corporate America. But she’s not done rattling cages yet–this visionary is seeking out our country’s brightest feminist thinkers, leaders, and doers across all disciplines for some real talk on what needs to change–now.

Hold onto your pearls, because Marie’s asking the tough questions: Who’s to blame for all this? What’s a lady got to do to get subsidized childcare? And what are we gonna wear when we dance in the flames? Tea will be spilled, and voices will be shrill. In this house, our guests are more than welcome to let their hair down and get a little unladylike. (Be warned, at times the language may get too spicy for little ears!)

As our country recovers economically and culturally from everything that went wrong in 2020, those of us who have been marginalized will not go back to silence. We are on the verge of a work/life revolution, and the more diversity and inclusion we have in our ranks, the more equitable, successful, and long-lasting our new systems will be. We need everyone to look within themselves and really challenge their most deeply held beliefs about what they’re allowed to do and what they really want. Because we’re ready to push the limits. Are you with us?
