Summary

This week I am joined by the wonderful Reshma Saujani! Aside from being a Chicago native, a mom of two, and the author of Brave, Not Perfect, Reshma is the founder of Girls Who Code, the international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology and computer programming. Come hang out with us as we dive into everything from allyship and activism, to breaking up with your therapist. We also touch on the sweetness of slowing down, the importance of critical feedback, and taking up hobbies solely for enjoyment.
