E43: From home to hired, with Ashley Connell

43% of women leave the workforce to have children and if they are out for just 3 years they lose 37% of their lifetime compensation power. Danielle and Kristy talk with Ashley Connell, Founder and CEO of Prowess Project, an organization dedicated to helping women re-enter the workforce by providing resources for connection, upskilling, and jobs. We cover other staggering statistics, male allyship, and how dealing with a tantrum-throwing two year old could make you the perfect candidate to manage executive stakeholders. In this episode we also both commit to a new challenge called ‘75 medium’ and discuss a fact check from Episode 42: Childfree by Choice.
