No Cape Required
Women are working their butts off and trying to navigate the intricate dance between work, life, and everything in between, fueled by the pervasive myth of the "Superwoman." No Cape Required is on a mission to bust this myth. In each episode, I'll bring you personal narratives of success, candid conversations about overcoming challenges, and practical tips to help you achieve a harmonious blend of career aspirations, personal fulfillment, and everyday responsibilities. If you are ready to focus on creating a life you love without societal pressure to “do it all” and “have it all” by being everything to everyone, you are in the right place.
