The Foureva Podcast

Can women truly thrive in the tech industry and corporate America despite systemic challenges? Join us as we explore this critical question while shedding light on the hurdles women face, including workplace discrimination, limited advancement opportunities, and the pressures of balancing work and personal life. We delve into the importance of therapy and self-care to navigate these spaces effectively. Our episode also celebrates Milwaukee's growth and community spirit over the past two decades, showcasing the city's remarkable transformation and collaborative energy.
