We're never gonna live a life where we don't have some element of fear.
That is an absolutely natural, human, and necessary emotion, but we don't have to let that rule our life and we don't have to let that rule our decisions.
I'm so happy to be here with you.
Well, thank you.
I'm very happy to be here.
I think avoc advocating in any way, shape, or form, like you said, is really uncomfortable.
And anything we can do to get people more empowered to speak up, uh, that's what I'm all about.
Yeah, sure.
I you know, I've been as you know, I've been a social entrepreneur for twenty five years, which
And my focus has been on women and girls and confidence.
That's really been the the key area of my research and
and empowerment work and um and consulting work.
And I think over the course of these twenty five years, as you mentioned, you know, you go through various stages as an entrepreneur trying to solve for me a social problem which was representation of
uh girls and families in the media and how do we create an atmosphere where everybody's really represented so that you feel seen because we know that when people feel seen, they feel acknowledged and loved and accepted and valued and that's the world that I want to create.
But it's interesting because now I tell people I'm in the business of empowerment because really at the core of what I do, I run a consultancy that works with brands and organizations and helps them to better understand the issues that impact
women and girls.
And so I've had great opportunities to work with campaigns like the Dove Real Beauty campaign, which I've been an ambassador for for the last thirteen years and have helped in recently in the last year to change Barbie's body to make her body more diverse and different skin tones and body shapes and hair textures.
And so
All of the work that we do is about moving our culture forward, which is why Debbie, I was so excited to be able to share a conversation with you on your amazing podcast because an issue that really does impact
women and moms and dads and families is handling and navigating through a culture that doesn't often acknowledge differently wired kids in a way that can feel empowering.
