I feel a little misled. This was podcast episodes repackaged as chapters in a book as “conversations.” I would have rather just listened to the podcast.
This is my favorite book/podcast I read this year!! The history is charming and thoughtful. The guests are interesting and vulnerable. Such a good listen.
DNF It is a podcast style audible where women talk about there lives. Three stories in i DNF. There is no recaps at the end with important parts, there is no conversation in between the speakers, and there is no big lessons or how to in any of the stories.
Themes found in this book: * Understanding the diverse paths to success for women in various fields. * Delving into the role of personal values and motivations in achieving goals. * Creating a space for honest and vulnerable conversations about the realities of "getting it done."
