Welcome back to The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth! In this episode, we kick off Women's History Month with a deep dive into the state of women in 2025, the third year in a row of this particular episode format.
This week I reflect on the challenges women face in the workforce, access to childcare, pay disparity, and political representation. Drawing from research, statistics, and personal experiences, we discuss how much progress has been made and how far we still have to go. I also explore the importance of finding personal success and working together as women to overcome obstacles and move mountains....because none of us can do this work alone, we were never meant to.
Key topics include:
- The impact of childcare costs and accessibility on women in 2025
- The current state of gender pay disparity
- Representation of women in government and politics
- The overwhelming nature of social media and how to manage information overload about what women "should" be pursuing
- The power of women uniting and finding their unique paths to success
