Summary

In this dynamic episode, Meghan sits down with Reshma Saujani, a tenacious founder who’s built two successful nonprofits that close the gender gap for women: first, Girls Who Code and now, Moms First. Meghan met Reshma years ago when Girls Who Code was expanding into the UK. Here, they reunite to talk about redesigning workplaces for women and how to make the hard choice to put your health (and yourself) before your work.

0:00.0	Let's talk about protein. It's all anybody seems to talk about lately, and for good reason.
0:06.7	So many people want to build muscle and support their existing muscle, but getting enough
0:11.6	doesn't have to mean eating yet another bland chicken breast at the end of the day to hit your
0:16.0	protein goal. Ratio protein yogurt has 25 grams of protein per cup. That's more protein than four whole eggs. Not only is it packed with protein, but ratio protein has a smooth and creamy texture, so there's no need to compromise great taste when hitting your wellness goals, whatever they are. If you like a blend of citrus and sweetness, you might want to try their

1:32.9	No time to get down because I'm moving up. No time to get down because I'm moving up. No
1:38.3	time to get down because I'm moving up. Ah. Behind the scenes, there are so many struggles that female founders don't post about.
1:49.6	They don't even talk about the moments when you feel broken, when things don't go as planned,
1:55.4	when simply showing up feels like a huge feat.
2:04.7	And yet we do it. We push through. We keep smiling. We keep going out there.
2:10.2	You get on the panel. You do the thing. And at a certain point, though, it does raise the question,
