It's a really good question & we end every episode by asking our guests what they are most hopeful about in their work. Working for social change can be hard and sometimes exhausting, so we want to know what keeps leaders engaged over the long haul.

The Perfect 10
In the Perfect 10 newsletter, the President/CEO of Future Forward Women, C. Nicole Mason, PhD, writes about and covers the top 10 issues bubbling up in women's lives. She's single mother by choice to boy-girl twins, a feminist, a news and popular culture junkie, and a believer in the possibility of BIG change.She's a feminist by accident or luck, having been a part of the women’s movement, founding and working at leading women’s organizations for over two decades. She's seen a lot—and has an opinion about much of it.From her perch, the top 10 issues impacting women are:Childcare (not enough, too costly, & should be free.)Paid sick and Family Leave (it’s barbaric that we don’t all have paid leave.)Reproductive Health & Rights (my body, my choice. Reproductive Justice for all.)Pay Equity and Transparency (equal pay for equal work should be the law of the land.)Leadership (Women are 50% of the population but only a fraction of the world’s leaders—we’re doing it all wrong.)Power (More power, please, and make it snappy!)Money & the Wealth Gap (We could all use more $$$, and at this rate, we’ll never close the wealth gap.)Politics (are everywhere and in everything.)Family (is created and can be a beautiful mosaic of chosen folk…that you kind of want to strangle from time to time).Race & Ethnicity (Intersectional Queens rule.)
