    Crowns, Confidence and Community - Pageants

    This week on Women of Nerd Culture, we’re stepping into a world of sparkle, strength, and sisterhood as we dive into the world of Royal Sapphire Pageants — a system built on empowerment, representation, and celebrating every kind of woman. Joining us is the incredible Cat, a current Royal Sapphire titleholder, who brings honesty, humour, and heartfelt insight into what pageantry really looks like today.We talk sparkle and gowns, sure — but we also speak about confidence, leadership, advocacy, and how modern pageant systems are redefining what it means to wear a crown. Cat shares her journey into pageantry, the challenges and triumphs along the way, what the Royal Sapphire community means to her, and how holding a title has shaped her identity both on and off the stage.If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a pageant, how contestants lift each other up, or what it feels like to walk with purpose (and sometimes in heels), this is the episode for you. Empowerment, authenticity, and a little bit of glitter — what more could you want?Follow Women of Nerd CultureInstagram:   / womenofnerdculture  TikTok:   / women.of.nerd.cul  Follow Nerdy Up North:Facebook:   / nerdyupnorth  Instagram:   / nerdyupnorth  Twitter:   / nerdyupnorth  Twitch:   / nerdyupnorth   Discord:   / discord  #WomenOfNerdCulture #RoyalSapphirePageants #PageantLife #ModernPageantry #WomenEmpowerment #FemaleLeadership #PageantQueens #CrownAndConfidence #EmpoweredWomen #BeautyAndBrains #PageantCommunity #CatInterview #TitleHolderTalk #BehindTheCrown #PageantJourney #WomenInMedia #InspiringWomen #GirlPower #SparkleAndStrength #PodcastEpisode #NerdCulture #RepresentationMatters #RealWomenRealStories
