Invisible No More: Women Need to Be in All the Rooms
In today’s powerful solo episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the invisible forces shaping our world—and not in a good way. Inspired by the bestselling book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez (plus a whole lot of mind-blowing research), we’re talking about the gender data gap and how it creates real-life consequences for women—from car crashes to medical misdiagnoses to tech that just won’t listen to our voices.
We dive into:
✅ How crash test dummies and medical trials are failing women
✅ The life-threatening consequences of biased data in health and safety
✅ Why women’s unpaid labor is the invisible engine of the global economy
✅ What happens when women’s voices are literally misunderstood by AI
✅ Why inclusive data isn't “nice to have”—it's essential
And most importantly, we explore the solution: getting more women in STEM, leadership, and policy creation. Because when women lead, everyone benefits.
