Hype Women

Hype Women

2023 is the year of Unabashed Hype Women. The term – coined by Ella's CEO + Founder Erin Gallagher in her viral post that turned a moment (Jamie Lee Curtis hyping Michelle Yeoh's Golden Globes Best Actress win) into a Movement – has mobilized us all. It's more than a meme. It's more than a shirt. It's a seismic shift in the way women view one another. Now, "Hype Women" is a podcast that celebrates women changing culture. We explore their metamorphosis as disruptors of systems and designers of a world that is more equitable for all. Through revolutions and evolutions, from moments to movements, these women drive impact. Hype Women are unabashed in our support of one another, because we understand our collective power. Individually, we can make a breeze. But, together, we create a *her*icane. These are our stories. We are Hype Women.

This is a very special episode of the podcast because we recorded it this morning and are bringing it to you right now!

Today is August 26th, 2024: Women's Equality Day. It's a really important day period, but it's also personal to me. Years ago, this day became a bit painful.

But last year, on August 26th, 2023, we launched the Hype Women Podcast - reclaiming the day as a day of celebration and no...

Today, we are spending time with Jess Smith. 

Jess Smith is the president of the newly formed WNBA Golden State Valkyries. They will take the court in 2025. And *we* will be front row to watch. Some of us literally, many of us by way of the fact that networks have finally caught up to the fact that putting women’s sports on TV gets you ALL the damn ratings. Like…all of them. 

So, I ask you this: Have you watched women’s basketball th...

Today, we are spending time with Kathleen Donohoe. My mom.

This is a very special Mother’s Day episode – our first on the Hype Women Podcast.

And so, there was no other person I was going to spend today with other than my mom.

Her career is exceptional. It is steeped in gender equity, justice, system change, mission-driven work and community-based connection. 

She spent 24 years in the Coast Guar...

She wrote a book on it.

Today we are spending time with Lisa Sun.

Only with Lisa can I cover generational trauma, the escape from corporate America, the discovery of entrepreneurship…and bangs in one conversation. 

Be prepared to be taken on a ride, people. Buckle up. 

Lisa has built a company and a movement to help women catalyze confidence.

And I LOVE talking to her

But it is *listening* to Lisa that has had the most profound impact on me. 

It is essential th...

Today, we are spending time with Jenny Nguyen.

Jenny is So. Damn. Cool.

I could spend hours talking with her and feel like only a few moments had passed.

Jenny is the founder and owner of The Sports Bra, the world’s first – and until a month ago, only – sports bar playing women’s sports, exclusively. 

I was so lucky to spend time in person with Jenny at the beginning of March in Austin at SXSW.

There is NO ONE like Emily.

No one.

She is brilliant in all the ways: street smart, book smart, style smart, whip smart.

Every time I’m in her presence, I learn more about the world and myself. I hope you experience the same.

Em and I talk a lot about her journey navigating her identity: as a woman, as a political commentator, as a lawyer, as a mother of three, as a podcast...

Whew. This exceptional woman. I still can’t get over who she is – and what she does – in this world. 

Our conversation is a little shorter than most of our Hype Women Podcast episodes. Because here’s the deal. When your time gets cut short with your guest because the President of the United States needs to brief her in the Oval Office, you take what you can get.
