In episode #178 of 🎙️The Business Case For Women’s Sports, presented by Ally, Caroline meets Jilyne Jarvis, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of ZGiRLS, which is a nonprofit that offers a confidence-building program for girls ages 11-14 from female professional athletes and Olympians.
At ZGiRLS, the belief is simple: confidence is a skill, and every girl deserves the chance to build it.đź’Ş
The team at ZGiRLS believes that girls aren’t born doubting themselves, but somewhere along the way, many start to.Â
Through a curriculum co-created by Olympians, psychologists, and mental-health experts, ZGiRLS gives girls tools to understand and navigate their thoughts, build a growth mindset, and advocate for themselves while communicating what they need.
In this episode, hear Jilyne share more about the work of ZGiRLS, why the program is so effective being delivered by professional & Olympic female athletes, and how ZGiRLS uses sport as a lens to build confidence that carries into every facet of life.⚡️

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
