With more than 90 podcast episodes under our belt and getting to know a wide range of women experts working in various areas of healthcare and healthIT, we’re convinced that HIT Like a Girl is more than just a podcast. It’s a community.
We started this journey like you might start any puzzle. With healthcare being as complicated as it is, we wanted to get a better understanding of all the ways in which women play an important role. We’ve spoken to and amplified the contributions of women leaders who specialize in technology, medicine, business, data, science, and so much more. Now that we’ve uncovered so many pieces, we want to start connecting them.
Although each of our journeys is unique, many of us share similar struggles and challenges. Because one thing is certain - our plight is different than our male counterparts. We are not the beneficiaries of the same privileges they receive by simply living and working in a world made by and for them. We’re not here to complain about it; we’re here to be the change we want to see in the world.
One thing we’ve discovered is women need more than to just be seen and know that each other exist. We need to create meaningful connections, strengthen the relationships we have among each other, and then unabashedly advocate for each other’s success. Because we want more than to elevate the conversation. We want better outcomes for the women who follow our lead.
Through the podcast, we’ve been listening intently to the women in our community with the heartfelt intention to share what we learn and grow together. Because as the saying goes, when we know better, we can do better.
So, with a mindset of abundance, we believe there is space for women at the tables and in the rooms where decisions are made. We hope that together, we can forge new pathways and truly change the narrative for women in the working world.
Our mission at HIT Like a Girl pod is to celebrate women leaders, advocate for and create more paths to leadership positions for girls and young women to follow.
We’ve been busy behind the scenes asking how we can make a bigger impact, not only for women in healthcare and healthIT, but for women as a whole. You’ll start to see us supporting women in a variety of new ways, including:
-
ClubHouse - we’ll be there Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-4 pm PST
