When it comes to the American political landscape, have you felt like your voice isn’t represented? Have you been upset about what’s happening around you but don’t know how to get involved?  Have you disengaged because you’ve felt defeated or helpless?  If you’ve answered yes to any of those questions, then you’re in the right place.  For years we’ve felt this way too.  There were times we’ve wanted so badly to get involved and make an impact or drive change but didn’t know how, and there were times we felt so helpless we just disengaged and tried to shut it all out.  We have not heard our voices, as women or as kind, empathetic humans, represented in our government or in the media.  We have not been able to have conversations at family gatherings or with friends and loved ones because our politics have become so divisive.  We want to change that.As two midwestern women from Ohio, who have not spent their time engaged in politics or involved in our government, but rather in corporate America, we knew we had to start with educating ourselves, and we want to bring you along on our journey.We are here to create a safe, kind community for women to learn alongside us about the workings of our government and the biggest issues facing our country.  We want to ensure women have their voice heard in politics. We are here to create a platform where that can happen, and we are here to inspire and empower women to do just that.  We believe we must play a role in solving the issues facing our communities, cities, states, and our country. I mean after all; we are 51% of the country’s population!We believe this can happen by bringing human connection, kindness, empathy, and an open mind to the conversations about and surrounding American politics.  How? Well, we have a few ideas…By continually educating ourselves on issues and the workings of the United States government. By sharing our research and education with this community to bring other women along on this journey.  By having other women as guests on the podcast to share their knowledge and experiences.  By using our leadership aptitude and experiences to build a community where diverse individuals with different backgrounds and beliefs can come together and connect as human beings.  Ultimately, by ensuring we, as humans, can have difficult conversations and we, as women, are educated, empowered, and involved to solve our nation’s greatest problems.  And don’t worry… we’ll have a little fun along the way. Sit back, crack open a beer because you know we will, and enjoy listening to our wonderful voices. I mean, our educational journey together, as United SHE Stands.We hope you’ll join us.If you purchase from any links to resources or products, the show may make a small commission.
