111 The Future of Business is Female with Guest, Ryann Dowdy

Sep 20, 2022

Ryann had done everything she was supposed to do in life; (college degrees, prestigious high-paying corporate position, marriage, house, children) but despite all the social norms telling Ryann how successful she was, she still felt unfulfilled.  Something was missing. So, while networking with other accomplished women, she found that missing piece. It was a support system that could only be generated by other women who knew exactly what she was going through. In this episode, Deb is interviewing Ryann Dowdy, the founder of BeInTheRoom.org; a conscious leadership collective. A soft place to land where women support and nurture other women.
