Show Notes
This week I'm joined by my bestie Lauren Hendricks here in Denver to chat about the book Invisible Women and how the world is designed - from cars to iphones to more - for men. Together we dive into research from the dawn of "man-kind" up to the present day that shows how everything from medicine to cabinet heights has been created for the "standard man" and left women to adapt - or die.
