with Sarah Nichols

Find us where you listen

Tune in each week as we chat with female leaders and change agents pushing back against convention. Get inspired by their unique stories of advocacy and leadership, and feel empowered to take a risk, make a change, and work collectively to address systemic issues at work.

Hosted by Nichols Law founder and managing attorney Sarah Nichols

I started The Women’s Advocate to elevate the voices of incredible women doing incredible things at work. It’s a space to connect, offer advice, and celebrate accomplishments with one another. We cover it all – what makes you tick, how you feel about money, how motherhood has changed your perspective – through intimate conversations with women for women.
