## Resource

This week's guest is Rachel Lebowitz, founder of Empowered COO. In this episode, we delve into the complexities of vulnerability, accountability, and the journey of self-discovery for women. We discuss the pressures women face in both personal and professional spheres, the importance of redefining roles, and the impact of upbringing on identity. Rachel shares her insights on navigating gender dynamics in business, the shift from codependency to empowerment, and the significance of making personal choices. The conversation emphasizes the need for women to embrace their strengths while acknowledging their weaknesses, ultimately encouraging people to create small, intentional changes in their lives. Soundbites: "I want to be the empowered woman." "How quickly can I pivot or rebound?"
