Women Unleashed is born from the idea that to be at our best, we need to feel connected, and we need to learn from each other. Through our words — written, spoken, and recorded — we want to learn about each other’s unique paths: what events and people inspire and influence us. We aspire to leave a legacy of mentorship by empowering women through our interview format to ask the people who have in some way shaped each of us, the kinds questions that provoke and lead to understanding what events and occurrences in other’s life journeys have made them into the people who have impacted us.
