Empathy is Everything

Jennifer Lee is a beautifully rare human that has her law degree and is building equities from within the system, as DEI specialist at the Office of the Illinois Attorney General. Our conversation ranges from discussing our own run-ins with workplace psychological abuse, to how Jennifer is banding together with leaders throughout Illinois to ensure there are equitable conversations and resources being routed to all areas and professions throughout Illinois. Jennifer shares that everything begins with empathy - she firmly stands in the belief of restorative and holistic justice - the understanding that everyone is a human, even and especially those that cause harm to other humans. We don't get anywhere in a society that hurts humans further. Find Jennifer and her work on LinkedIn, and be sure to tune into the work she's doing within Illinois to bring us together.

More women have non traditional jobs these days, and still don't have adequate clothing to wear - the men's styles are simply copied and pasted into women's "styles", which can lead to harm in the workplace as they don't fit correctly.Brenda (Maxx) Cumby McGee has come up with the solution. As a construction worker and fashion model, she has paired her unique expertise and skills to create one of the very few styles of work pants designed specifically for women. Just a few features include deeper pockets, D-rings on the band, reinforced inner thighs, and kneepads. Maxx and her best friend created Gott Street Blues with one goal in mind - to design working clothes for working women. She's starting with the pant, and then from there, the sky isn't even the limit. Not in construction? No worries, these are also perfect for landscaping, gardening, etc. Find GSB pants at https://gottstreetblues.com, connect with Maxx on LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.

Isabel Draughon - an exceptional human and 2 decade entrepreneur. When two soul-led humans get together, you feel the palpable passion and drive in their energy and voices. That is Isabel and I - we often call each other our soul sister...it truly feels that way. Isabel shares her gifts with the world through coaching women in business (whether on their own or executives in organizations) with one message in mind - honor yourself. You are so much more than what you "do" - and Isabel implores you to, "come home". Often in speakings with high powered women, she asks simply "Who are you"? And it's one of the most difficult questions to answer because of our lifelong conditioning that our worth hinges on our title or how much we make. She shows women how to excavate who they are on the soul level, their true essence. Much like me - and, as we discuss, no one can do what we do, how we do. When you find the coach, the person that sets your soul on fire, plunge in the deep end and get ready to work. Find Isabel on her website and connect with her on LinkedIn. Also, make sure to sign up for her conference in October to allow your soul to unfold - The Soul Whispers...Listen.Thank you for tuning into Women Making Moves!
