Women's Work

Attorney (+ a Podcast Announcement!) | 30

Lacey Beam is a small-town attorney, primarily doing indigent defense work. Where she lives and works isn't large enough for a public defender's office, so this means she works for a small firm, but the majority of her caseload is court-appointed work. She says it allows her to have her heart broken on a regular basis, but she's grateful she gets to serve her community with this type of legal work. Plus, a big announcement about some BIG changes around here! Stay to the end.

Conversational English Teacher | 29

Sallie Miura and her family have lived in Brazil for quite awhile, for her husband's work, actually, but she's taken it upon herself to create her own career as a conversational English teacher.

Podcast Pioneer | 28

Liz Dolan has been a podcaster since before podcasting was even a well-known thing, which is why many in the industry consider her truly a podcasting pioneer. Her show, Satellite Sisters, has won more Gracie Allen awards for excellence in women's media than any other radio show/podcast ever. And before this? She was a badass in the business world, working for brands you might have heard of: Nike, Oprah, and National Geographic, just to name a few.

Biophysicst | 27

Lauren Porter is a scientist who does research at basically a think tank — you can hear it in her voice how excited she gets about the tiny little things most of us don't even know about, much less pay attention to. But her work is so important, and it both depends on the work of others and contributes to what future scientists like herself can discover and learn for the betterment of our entire world. These scientists are truly unsung heroes, because they contribute so much to our society's well-being.

Hospice Mom | 26

Cori Salchert is a hospice mom. What's that? Basically, she says she's ready and willing to receive babies into her home with her family who have a life-limiting prognosis or terminal diagnosis. Her job? Is to love them just like a mama for whatever time they have before they pass away. She has 8 biological children and have fostered or adopted 7 more children. Cori says she and her family aren't professionals; they're just here, telling their story so others are aware of the needs of these babies, and how much other people could change things, too, by being brave and being willing to come alongside a child who needs love and care for a brief season.
