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.

Praise for the Women's Advocate

Wish I Had This Years Ago!
As a working mom, I wish there was a podcast like this back when I first started my career. Negotiating for yourself as a woman is so critical!

Wow! Eye Opening.
As a guy, this is such an eye opening podcast that really dives into the every day struggles women face not just in the workforce but every day that I’ll never be able to understand. Can’t wait to keep listening and educating myself!

Not to be missed!
Very impressed by the in depth discussions and expertise. Very engaging and fun to listen to. I hope to listen to more in the future as you continue to help shape these important topics and share your insights.

Empowering host, important conversations.
Sarah is a fresh, strong voice in women’s empowerment, and clearly an emerging leader in the fight to close the wage gap. I’m so glad she’s sharing her expertise and passion this way.

Sarah Nichols is the real deal!
This podcast gives a much needed voice to the issues women are facing in the workplace. Beyond that I found it was just eye-opening to unpackage even my own ingrained ideas of how I see myself when interacting in professional environments. Looking forward to more episodes discussing the ‘mental load’ women carry while pursing their career development and personal growth.

Such Important Work!
Highlighting important and current issues with real and relatable stories of women, excellent advise and discussions with inspiring women, and all within such a strong understanding of the law. It's beautiful to see women lifting up women!
