I liked the explanation of the Escape The Cape and how each of you talked about your own capes that you had to escape. Onward and upward!
This podcast is great! I think the juxtaposition and similarities of personality, industry and generation works well. I really liked how you all share the task of asking questions which made it more like organic dialogue,

This podcast really resonates with me because it helps me to appreciate that I am not alone and other “strong” women are available to support me.
