This is an episode of the Creativity Found podcast, featuring host Anna Stoecklein’s interview. In it, she discusses her journey from nurse to podcaster, how she came up with the idea and created The Story of Woman, and what’s next for the podcast!

Creativity Found
Original episode with transcript
The Creative Brain is a catalyst for change.
For many years Anna Stoecklein believed that creativity was limited to traditional forms of art, such as painting or drawing. However, after watching the Netflix documentary The Creative Brain, she realized that creativity is everywhere, and that everyone is creative in their own way. This realization was a game-changer for Anna, as it allowed her to see her own creativity and potential.
Anna had a creative childhood, but that took a back seat during her teenage years and early adulthood. Anna studied nursing, and after three years of working in a clinical setting, she realized it wasn't for her. She couldn't see herself climbing the management ladder or going back to school to become a nurse practitioner.
Other career roles followed, along with a move from the US to the UK. The lessons Anna had learnt from that documentary percolated, until a few years later she was able to put them to good use as she turned the idea for The Story of Woman podcast into a fully-fledged show.
In this episode Anna and I discuss how she was able to challenge and reframe her self-perception as a "non-creative" person, as well as the amazing experiences she's had with her podcast guests, including conversations with Hillary Clinton and Cherie Blair.

REPLAY OF SEASON TWO EPISODE ONE
In the first episode of season two of the podcast, I speak with former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Cherie Blair, CBE KC in their first-time ever, exclusive joint podcast interview!
Hillary Clinton and Cherie Blair have pioneered positive change for women for decades. They have worked as lawyers, politicians, activists, and business leaders - and also both had husbands in charge of governments, the US and the UK respectively. 
In this episode, they share what they have learned over the years: the current state of women’s equality, the ripple effect of change that happens when you put power back into the hands of women, and ways to overcome the deeply ingrained economic, social and legal barriers that hold women — and the world — back.
They also discuss their long friendship and what it’s like being a female leader in a male-dominated world!

Some topics we cover include : 

Clinton and Blair’s friendship and what it was like to be married to government leaders - and how they refused to give up their own identities in the process

The progress we have made, the pushback we face for it, and how the COVID-19 pandemic plays a part

What putting power back into the hands of women does for women, their families, communities, and the world

What holds women entrepreneurs and business leaders back

How outdated, gendered stereotypes create barriers for women all over the world

Ways to continue driving progress and overcoming the forces that hold women — and the world — back

How the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women is supporting women entrepreneurs around the world

What keeps Clinton and Blair hopeful for the future

Asha and Cecilia also explore the intersectionality of feminism and the importance of inclusivity within the women's rights movement. Cecilia shares her journey as an architect of a groundbreaking transgender workforce development program in San Francisco and encourages other cities and lawmakers to replicate similar initiatives to combat anti-trans legislation.
Some topics we cover include:

Cecilia’s personal journey as a trans woman

In this episode, guest host Asha Dahya speaks with Alicia Garza - author, political strategist, organizer, founder of Black Futures Lab, co-founder of Supermajority, and co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter and the Black Lives Matter Global Network… among other things!
Alicia believes that Black communities deserve what all communities deserve - to be powerful in every aspect of their lives. In their conversation, Alicia and Asha explore systemic racism and the importance of building power within Black communities, the strength of women and how feminists (especially white ones) can expand their feminism to be more inclusive, the significance of intersectionality, and Alicia’s work creating a new political home for women, strengthening the ecosystem of Black organizing, and telling new stories that highlight Black potential.
Some topics we cover include:

Alicia's first experience with activism at the age of 12

Black power and its impact on realizing the true promise of our nation (and world)

Systemic racism - what it is, historical examples, and how we address it

The crucial role of intersectionality in creating a more inclusive world

White feminism, and the importance of asking who is included in your feminism

The work that's required behind hashtags (as Alicia has said, “Hashtags don't start movements, people do.”)

Specific issues Alicia focuses on within her anti-racism work - police brutality, mass incarceration, health access, and gender justice

Why joy and hope are essential to the work

How you can get involved in shaping the future!

And more!
