Do you ever see a successful woman on your feed or in a magazine and think, wow, it must be

nice to have it so easy. Well, think again. Behind that glossy cover or smiling face is a ton of hard work,

countless failures, and endless learning experiences. I'm Rebecca Minkoff, and I'm here to tell you

that success isn't a walk in the park. It takes grit, resilience, and a

willingness to take risks. That's why I created Superwoman, a podcast that peels back to varnish

and gets into the nitty gritty of what it takes to make it as a woman in today's world.

From luminaries and game changers to women you've never heard of but should, this podcast is here to inspire you to take your next leap, no matter how daunting it may seem. We'll explore the sacrifices these women have made, the highs and loaves they've experienced, and the lessons they've learned along the way. So if you're ready to be inspired and learn from some of the most successful women out there. Join me on Superwomen.

Together, we'll uncover the stories behind the successes and prove that with hard work,

determination, and a little bit of luck, anything is possible.

Hey, everyone, you're listening to Superwomen.

Today's guest is Emily Tish Sussman.

Emily is an incredible woman. I had the pleasure of getting to know and the host of

She Pivotts, which features women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success.

After leaving her fast-paced job as the vice president of campaigns at the largest Democratic

think tank in D.C. The Center for American Progress,

she learned to redefine her own idea of success. When she left the career, she thought she would

have forever. Take a listen. All right. So we're doing this. It's Wednesday, October 11th. So there

might be a little halo of darkness. but let's just see what we can

talk about and inspire in spite of. Well, I mean, I'm always ready to sit down and immediately

cry with you. I have done it before, so we really don't know what we'll get out of this conversation.

You know, crying is therapeutic. Sometimes you just need to let it out.

Yeah. I almost let it out on the subway over here because I watched the wrong thing.
