What happens when women find a community that truly sees them?
In this special bonus episode of the Empowering Women Podcast, host Shannon Bumgarner sits down with Empowering Women in Industry founder Charli Matthews Carruth to talk about the vision behind the inaugural Carolinas Conference and the power of connection in industry.
Together, they explore why community matters, how mentorship and advocacy help women grow, and what makes Empowering Women events feel different from other professional conferences. They also discuss leadership lessons, the importance of investing in yourself, and why the next generation of women in manufacturing, engineering, and skilled trades gives them so much hope.
