• The Woman Who Empowers U.S. Military Spouses

  When opportunity doesn’t knock, some women build their own door — and that’s exactly what Lauren Wittenberg Weiner did. As a military spouse stationed overseas, Lauren refused to accept the limits placed on her career. Lauren is the author of Unruly, where she reminds women that following the rules doesn’t mean following everyone else. She’s living proof that grit, purpose, and innovation can turn barriers into breakthroughs. She calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” Unable to find work, she forged her own path in the male-dominated world of government contracting — and ended up building an empire that empowers military spouses. Lauren founded WWC Global, now one of the largest woman-owned contracting firms in Tampa Bay. Her company made history by landing a $200 million U.S. Special Operations Command award, supporting elite units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets. Over two decades, she scaled WWC Global to nearly $100 million in annual revenue before selling it in 2022 — all while employing more than 250 military spouses around the world. She also founded In Gear Career, a nonprofit that merged with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program, helping thousands of military spouses sustain meaningful employment through every PCS move.

• The Woman Who Outsmarted the Nazis and Saved Europe's Art

  History often forgets the women who risked everything in World War II. Journalist Michelle Young makes sure that doesn’t happen with her powerful book, The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland. Rose was a quiet Paris museum curator who secretly spied on the Nazis as they looted thousands of masterpieces for Hitler’s super-museum. With courage, cunning, and relentless determination, she curated the stolen art and passed intelligence to the Resistance. She safeguarded Europe’s treasures and stood her ground during the liberation of Paris. Her work is still being used today to recover Europe’s stolen art. Join Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro for this riveting conversation on Women Road Warriors as they talk to Michelle and delve into Rose’s bravery, the fight to protect culture, and why Rose Valland’s story matters now more than ever.https://michelleyoungwriter.com/@michelleyoungwriter, @[email protected]://www.amazon.com/Art-Spy-Extraordinary-Resistance-Valland/dp/006329589X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3RFTLKL6PRH5J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.M_ajeHbeHSh52kbsMtR5Ag.taODQyacrTXVT0DYkjSvlFc0IJC1W0iVOPmVWoftM9g&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Art+Spy%3A+The+Extraordinary+Untold+Tale+of+WWII+Resistance+Hero+Rose+Valland.&qid=1759443649&sprefix=the+art+spy+the+extraordinary+untold+tale+of+wwii+resistance+hero+rose+valland.+%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-1https://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#ArtSpy #ArtTheft #RoseValland #MichelleYoung #Nazis #Europe #ShelleyJohnson #ShelleyMJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors #Women World War II resistance, Rose Vallon, art theft, cultural preservation, women's history, inspiring women's stories, Michelle Young, art historians, female curators, espionage in art, Nazi occupation Paris, women's roles in history, resistance fighters, art recovery efforts, untold stories of women, historical fiction, women's contributions to war, stories of braveryInterview Transcript:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pe8avcqzvjkegvekdltbr/The-Woman-Who-Outsmarted-the-Nazis-and-Saved-Europe-s-Art-on-Women-Road-Warriors-podcast.txt?rlkey=3xzti2jy0gddq3p1fphpy8ard&st=a9hqu9b9&dl=0

• Invisible Work: Celebrating Women’s Unseen Contributions

  Women hold the world together—yet much of what we do remains hidden in plain sight. From caregiving and raising children to providing emotional support and nurturing relationships, these essential contributions often go unnoticed and undervalued. Even worse, we sometimes fail to give ourselves credit for the life-changing roles we play. In this episode of Women Road Warriors, we’re joined by Dr. Janelle Wells and Dr. Doreen MacAulay, award-winning scholars at the University of South Florida and authors of Our In-Visible Work. Their groundbreaking research reveals how the lack of recognition for their contributions not only suppresses women but also disempowers them across workplaces, families, and communities. Both serve as regular columnists for Psychology Today and are on a mission to expose this hidden invalidation and advocate for the acknowledgment women have long deserved for the important roles they play often in the background. This conversation aspires to inspire a re-evaluation of how we perceive and value the vital yet frequently overlooked labor that women perform daily. Tune in to this episode for a powerful, eye-opening conversation that will change the way you view “invisible” work—and inspire you to start valuing the roles that too often go unrecognized.www.wellsquest.comhttps://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#OurInvisibleWork #JanelleWells #DoreenMacAulay #ShelleyMJohnson #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors #WomensEmpowerment women empowerment, invisible work, emotional labor, women in the workplace, caregiving responsibilities, recognition of women’s contributions, workplace culture,
