    Throughout the Capable podcast, listeners have learned about the many different struggles women face throughout adolescence and into adulthood. Data from professors, testimonials from survivors, and leaders of empowerment organizations have given the listener some sense of the female experience. To round out the fifth and final episode of the series, four capable young women are interviewed. They are asked what advice they would have given their middle school selves if they could go back, and who their role models are that have helped them strive to be the strong women they are today.
