In this re-released episode, we talk about a slightly controversial topic, namely, the value of a wife. Lately we’ve read several articles about the benefits for husbands to have a wife at home or at least in a position where she is still primarily responsible for childcare and the emotional labor that takes place in families. As feminists and entrepreneurs, we felt that it was important to invite this conversation into our community because there still is not enough change happening in this area.

Most of us have been in debt at some point in our lives. Despite that, debt is still associated with shame. We’ve been socialized to believe that our debt is something we need to be ashamed of, that there’s something inherently wrong with us if we have to pay off loans. Which means we treat debt like a dirty secret. And it’s something we never talk about. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our own experiences with debt, what we learned from having to pay off 6 figures in student loans, why we think debt can be a good thing, and more!

In this week’s episode, Sadie gets into the nitty-gritty of how she kick-started her career as a fitness creator, her entry into the yoga scene of New York after moving from Seattle, and the exact moment she chose to embrace herself over what she was expected to be as a yogini.

Back in February, we discovered an amazing article on Medium titled ‘Underrepresented Founders are Merely Collateral Damage’.

Tune into today’s episode to learn more about Daisy’s efforts in understanding, tackling, and changing the diversity issue in VC (aka, the business world’s giant elephant in the room). She discusses everything from WHO benefits from the VC system (don’t we all know the answer to this one?), WHY our current methods of dealing with the diversity problem aren’t really yielding results, and HOW we can actually move forward.
