Own Your Story, Step Into Your Power
Stories have the transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we would if we just encountered it on our own. Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world. Presenting a different perspective of the world – is important when it comes to connecting with each other. It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person’s experience, and it can shape, strengthen, or challenge our opinions and values. When a story catches our attention and engages us, we are more likely to absorb the message and meaning within it than if the same message were presented simply in facts and figures. When someone tells their own personal story, we catch a glimpse of a view of the world that may be slightly or radically different from our own. When we see the world as they see it or walk in their shoes, the experience can inspire empathy.
ANNOUNCING a new podcast just for women in public service…
For years and years (before everyone had a podcast), I had a very successful global podcast on 12 different channels, at one point, a top hit on iHeart Radio. I have interviewed more than 500 professional women from the US and some in the UK.
After Conscious Inclusion Company folded because of this great wave of sexism and white supremacy in November 2024, I also stopped recording my “Wonder Women in Business” podcast.
Since then, I have been soaking in all the facts and revisiting the history leading up to where American women are today. I have determined that without a doubt, this country is as racist as always, but much more sexist than I previously thought. I have been overthinking (my superpower—ahem, a sign of genius) and have decided to start a new podcast. I want to interview women who are in public service all across this nation, from the local to the state level (not federal).

Women’s Words
Book One: OWN YOUR STORY: Empower, Connect, Create Change. The first edition was a huge hit — a bestseller, in fact! We hope to publish the second edition in 2027. We amplify the voices of women in many ways — this is yet another. Stories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world differently and connect through empathy. That is true both for spoken words and through written words. We all know the magic of the #EmpoweredWomen events. Think about the impact we can have by amplifying women’s voices as published authors, sharing stories with an even broader audience! We are a community that supports each other.

““There is no community like a community of women, inspiring each other to push forward and creating a sense of belonging and connection. By sharing our authentic stories we give others space to be vulnerable as well. What a way to create a powerful connection by saying, ‘I see you. I hear you. I’m with you.’””
“To invest in others is to invest in oneself and that is exactly what attendees, speakers, sponsors and the conference organizers did at #EmpoweredWomen2019. We committed to ourselves and each other in a way that has never been done at a conference in which I’ve participated. Everyone benefited. I’m looking forward to #EmpoweredWomen2020 with the same energy as we continue to listen to, learn from, advise, mentor, sponsor, refer or hire one another. ”
“There are countless events and conferences that vie for attention, but making an investment in the EmpoweredWomen2019 conference was one of the best I had made in recent years. The caliber of female speakers was unparalleled and the tangible takeaways we all received have been put into practice daily. The conference was more than simply listening and learning - it was a day filled will learning how to support one another more constructively and committing ourselves to the betterment of the women around us. ”
“The entire EWE experience was a joy! Susan Freeman truly lives her mission of empowering women to empower women. Each speaker spoke with such candor and passion, it created a tangible sense of camaraderie throughout the room. I was on a high for days. ”
