    Introducing a new series | THE WOMEN BEFORE ME | Nominate a WOMAN of impact

    I’m launching a new series called The Women Before Me and I’m looking for women with a story to tell. This is a generational storytelling project designed to celebrate the powerful women who shaped us. Each episode invites a guest to bring forward a woman from their lineage biological or chosen and share who she was, what she taught, the impact she made. These are the stories often told in kitchens, car rides, and the type of stories that rarely make it onto a microphone but leave a lasting impact. This series bridges generations, honors passed down wisdom, and inspires the women to come. It’s not about Not your story…  but her story. The mother, grandmother, aunt, mentor, or soul-sister who shaped you. The woman whose courage, lessons, or love still ECHOS in your life today. If there’s a woman you wish the world knew, If there’s a story you’ve carried but never shared, I want to honor her with you. This is your invitation to be a guest on the show To highlight her name, Share her impact, And inspire the next generation of women who are still becoming. Each episode brings you one woman’s story told by the person whose life she touched. Not celebrities. Not icons. Just the real heroes: The Women To be clear you don’t have to be a woman to nominate, sons, grandsons and men are also encouraged to share about the women who shaped you, and she can still be in your life or passed on. The purpose is to highlight that ONE woman who made the greatest impact in your life. I want to know how, what did she do that stood out, that left a lasting impact.

So that the listeners can be impacted too..Whats one think she did that you thought was dumb, but now you see value as an adult..THIS IS YOUR SHOT TO SHOUT ABOUT HER FROM THE ROOFTOPS! Roday, I want to highlight THE WOMEN who made me: My mother One unusual thing my mom did which ended up saving my life on more than one occasion.
