Top Episodes Quotes
- “The financial liberation of women is the social liberation of women. And so much of the hardship that little girls face just from day one is just simply coming from this idea of who is allowed to make money and who is allowed to do what they want and who has, like, an assigned role.“ by Tobin Heath
- “I am a stakeholder no matter what. And you will always be a stakeholder, even though you might not reap any kind of financial gain, because the truth is, we might not ever reap a real financial gain out of it. We wanted to be a part of it.“ by Abby Wambach
- “There is a stage when anything starts to evolve where people who weren't there before get added to the table or fight their way to the table, claw their way to the table, and then there's always a stage where everyone's just, we're so grateful to be here.“ by Glennon Doyle
