A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I don’t usually take to write reviews for anything but I wanted to express my appreciation for this inspirational and motivational podcast about aspirational women that aren’t showcased enough in today’s media (no Kardashians here). I am sadden that there will not be anymore new episodes but grateful for what I’ve learned. This podcast was a great listen on my drives to work as it motivated me to become better financially and personally. Thank you!

I love this podcast so much. Some of my favorite episodes include “How Women of Color Can Own Their Success” and the episode with Moj Mahdara. That said, I do wish more women from humble backgrounds were interviewed. Most had parents who were already successful or invested in their businesses. Sure, they still had their struggles and still worked very hard to be successful but people consider inviting women with little to no support system from the very beginning. Inspiring women like Michelle Mone who grew up very poor and still attained massive success.

This podcast has changed my life. When I came back from maternity leave last year, I felt like I was starting all over. I needed tips on how to be a working mom who was SEEN and successful at work and home, and I got them from this podcast. In the past year, my confidence has skyrocketed, I’ve gained motivation and I negotiated for a big raise and promotion, which I got!! It’s been a banner year and I owe so much of it to the inspiring stories and tips I’ve learned here. Thank you thank you!! And keep ‘em coming.

I am an African American, 40-something, female entrepreneur in the Deep South (Alabama). My company specializes in helping employers develop exceptional work environments to slow the down the costly revolving door, deal with the heart of the company, and have better outcomes for its customers. I first tuned in to the episode on Black women owning a seat at the table. I found the conversation to be inspiring and uplifting. It resonated with me based on my personal experiences and what I see clients seeking to overcome in their workplaces. Bravo for not forsaking this conversation.

Bama Peach · Dec 2019

I wish the women represented here were more diverse, started from other places, and that the advice wasn’t so privileged. The leader of the NYC Marathon basically said she had kids because she didn’t want to be a lawyer forever. What kind of advice is that?? What about those of us who want both career and kids, but everyone else just says “lean in”? Every interview is about women who already came from wealth and/or had the luxury of many choices. The CFO who took her baby to a meeting because she had no childcare - yeah right. Anyone below the C-suite level would be harshly, perhaps quietly, punished for “not properly managing her job priorities”. I consider myself very lucky to be middle class and educated, and even I was squirming at the privilege and entitlement these women speak from. I’ve unsubscribed.

whilingstages · Dec 2019

Featuring MLMs and beauty companies wasn’t wise. Also the episode on mastering the side hustle? How about you provide info useful to everyday women. You know, the people listening... no average American can pick up a weekend job that will pay off a $1M home in 6 years so they can keep buying up property as a “side hustle”. patronizing since plenty of poor people have multiple jobs by necessity and aren’t ever going to live the way these wealthy women do.
