On the hunt for a new female empowerment podcast to listen to? Look no further! Whether you need an uplifting bit of female-focussed humour or something more spiritual or based on self-care, we here at Dandy have put together the ultimate guide to inspirational podcasts for women.
the importance of listening to women's voices
While the world is slowly but surely progressing when it comes to women’s rights and equality, we still have a long way to go. In fact, last year, we were still being hit with a significant gender pay gap - with women being paid on average 14.9% less than men in the UK alone. We’re also still faced with the awakening truth that it is still approximately 132 years until the global gender gap (aka, the difference between us and men when it comes to having the same rights and opportunities) reaches full parity.
But it’s not just political. It’s important to listen to women’s voices because we are all connected by one of the most strengthening and empowering things alone - just being women! Physically, mentally, and spiritually, we are dynamic and powerful, and this should be celebrated.
It’s so important that we can have, and be, positive female role models too. To motivate, inspire, guide, and spread positivity - which is so much stronger when we stick together, rather than stand apart.
