One of the things I love most about hosting What She Said is the incredible opportunity I get to witness, and share with you, how women continually reimagine and reinvent the world. Today’s guests come from vastly different fields, each with unique backgrounds, yet they all share one key trait: the courage to see things differently. Whether it’s disrupting the billion-dollar beauty industry with sustainable innovations, uncovering humour in places you wouldn’t expect, or solving a problem that affects millions of women with a custom approach, these women are truly inspiring. If you’re seeking inspiration this week, these conversations will spark something within you. Here’s who you’ll meet on this week’s show:
