When Urmi Hossain steps into the room, you can't help but feel the shift in energy that comes with a true change-maker. Join us as we connect with this powerhouse, whose leadership and advocacy ring out a clarion call for women's empowerment and equity. In her role as social media lead for Women in Leadership in Victoria, Urmi brings us into the trenches of the fight for gender parity in corporate leadership, sharing her passion, her challenges, and the initiatives close to her heart that are paving the way for women to not just climb the ladder, but construct new rungs.
Have you ever wondered how the whisper of change becomes a roar? In our candid conversation, Urmi and I peel back the curtain on the financial world's gender dynamics—sharing our battle scars and triumphs. We talk about the pressing need for mentorship in finance, the daily grind of boundary-setting for better work-life balance, and the misconceptions that often cloud the perception of women in leadership. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's an invitation to question, to challenge, and to join a growing chorus advocating for a diverse and equitable workplace where every voice is heard.
As we wrap up, the conversation turns to the transformative joy of advocacy work—how it resonates with us personally and connects us with listeners like you. We reflect on the meaningful feedback that fuels our mission, tackle the pervasive imposter syndrome, and share stories of the silent battles we face in championing ourselves and others. This episode is an ode to the passion projects that may not fill wallets but instead fill souls, and a reminder that every act of support, every spoken desire for change, adds up to a movement. One person at a time, one story at a time, we're building a more empowering future—and we're doing it together.
