015 Season Finale with Alessia

Hello and welcome to the Finale of the First Season of the F.E.M. podcast. In this episode, I will be going over some of my favorite moments from the season. When I started the podcast in May of this year, I had no idea how profound the learnings from these conversations would be. There are so many quotes from these powerful women that have resonated profoundly and that I find myself repeating daily. Look out for Season 2 which I will be recording during the next few months. If you want to be a speaker or want to recommend a speaker, please email me via the Contact Form on the FemaleEmpowermentMarket.com website. In the interim, I invite you to sign up to my weekly newsletter that comes out each Monday night, where I share brands of female-founded companies that I am looking to incorporate into my life. As always, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, COMMENT, RATE this podcast so we can keep sharing the stories of more amazing women. Thank you and see you next season!
