We’ve all seen the article headlines like, “Women *Are* Asking for More Money at Work—They’re Just Not Getting It”, or “Why Women Don’t Ask for More Money”. We've also heard alarming statistics, like 60% of women say they’ve never negotiated their salary.

That’s not acceptable and it doesn’t put us on an even playing field. But what can we do about it?

The No Woman, No Girl Mission and Founding Story, with Shirnetta Harrell

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0500

"90% of my work is educational. It's teaching people who may not have ever experienced poverty or adversity about the privilege and honor of what it is to be able to go to Target and spend a hundred dollars on deodorant and pads."

As a social worker, Shirnetta Harrell saw too many situations where a girl would need to get a toothbrush for the night, or hadn't washed her hair in months, or was using tissues for her period because she couldn't afford tampons. It was then that she made it her mission that no woman and no girl will go without access to everyday essentials to survive crisis or transition.

Today she shares her why behind founding No Woman No Girl, her drive to serve others, and what all of us can do to help.

From 1858 Mansion to 9-Room Boutique Hotel: LIVE from Heights House with Sarah Shepherd

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0500

"I can pinpoint moments in this process through renovating or how we spent our money or where I felt like I should have done one thing, but an expert in the industry told me I should do it this way. But this is my vision not theirs."

One of my favorite things in having a podcast is going to different locations and recording live in front of a Women’s Social Club audience.

"We Had Nothing. It Was Just Mud." The Maxwell's Chelsea Hand on Building a Venue During the Pandemic

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

"We had nothing there. It was just mud. I would pull up, take the desk out of my trunk. I had this cute little lookbook that had, you know, all the finishes and stuff we've picked out. We had some renderings. I have hard hats with our logo on them. And so we'd walk around, and I would kind of, like, stand and be like, so this is where a wall is going to be. And then I'd shimmy over and go, and then this is is where the door is. And literally, there was nothing there when we sent out our first contract. "

10 years ago, Chelsea Hand sketched her vision for an event space on a napkin. In 2020, she decided to turn her napkin-sketch dream into reality - and as she's breaking ground on what would become The Maxwell...well we all know what happened in 2020.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Chelsea's first choice for a venue was in Durham, and why that didn't work out
What happened when the pandemic hit
How Chelsea sold the venue space to couples when it was literally mud
What happened when they opened in 2021
What's ahead for Chelsea and The Maxwell

Embracing Body Positivity, with Boudoir Photographer Katelyn Guild

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

"I would leave sessions and weddings and events and headshot sessions, and every single person, both men and women that I photographed all had the same narrative. You're gonna Photoshop me, you're gonna change my body, you're gonna make me look younger, thinner, fatter, more curvy. Every single person was dealing with some sort of dysmorphia or some sort of body image issue that they wanted changed. And I was like, why are we walking around hoping to be more like somebody else?"

Katelyn Guild grew up with a camera in her hands and always loved photography - just as a hobby. But when her father passed away unexpectedly, she realized life is short, and it was time to take her passion full time. Through her journey, she realized something else - that she wants to help every woman feel comfortable in their own bodies.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why Katelyn chose boudoir photography
How her business has grown on Instagram and TikTok
How to take "spicy" selfies
How to talk to kids about body positivity

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, with Kiara Ruth

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

"I tell people with imposter syndrome, the truth is, it never goes away. But you learn how to deal with it almost like trauma. You learn how to deal with it and like meet the trauma or the imposter syndrome at the door."

Kiara Ruth is an Arkansas-born criminal justice major turned DEA agent hopeful, who experienced a whirlwind romance and moved to Raleigh, NC. She quickly found herself a wife and mother - but felt like she had lost her own identity. Despite feeling discouraged and constantly battling imposter syndrome, Kiara has pushed through and begun to prioritize her own needs. She now encourages others to meet their imposter syndrome head-on and to never forget that they are enough.

What A Difference A Year Makes, with RBF Champagne Bar's Tiffany Welton

Hannah Weisberg — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

Hey everyone, Hannah here! At a Women's Social Club event not too long ago, after the presentation, I had a chance to sit down with Tiffany Welton, and she told me about her idea for a champagne bar. I absolutely LOVED this idea (we don’t have a concept like that in the Raleigh area). But what really got my attention was the name of the bar - RBF. And if you think you know what it means, you're absolutely right! :)

Today we share the story of the RBF Champagne Bar, which opens on Saturday February 4th!
