We are so excited to share this journey of empowerment, diversity, and unbridled passion with Charity Golden, the dynamo behind The Lipstick Network. In this episode, Katy Rey delves into the life of a woman whose story is as colorful and rich as the strawberry fields of Plant City where she grew up.
Charity, a southern belle with a zest for life and a love for the little joys, takes us from her humble beginnings in a homogenous town to the eye-opening streets of Manhattan, and beyond. Her college days at Barnard College weren't just about academics; they were a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, and perspectives that fueled her insatiable curiosity and led her on a path of self-discovery.
But Charity's story doesn't stop there. After a stint in the high-powered world of corporate law, where the glitz of success couldn't fill an inner void, she found her true calling in the most unexpected place – the Peace Corps in Bulgaria. Here, amidst the post-communist simplicity, Charity discovered the profound beauty of giving, even when you have little to offer.
Her experiences in Bulgaria weren't just about cultural immersion; they were about breaking barriers. From teaching hip-hop to tween girls to bridging racial divides, Charity's journey is a testament to the power of empathy and understanding.
Post-Peace Corps, Charity's journey took her to business school, where she honed her strategic mind and deep listening skills – the very tools she now uses to elevate and empower women through The Lipstick Network. This isn't your run-of-the-mill women's network; it's a sanctuary of collaboration, personal growth, and professional development. It's about aligning the head, heart, and hands in a triad of support that uplifts every member.
And let's talk about the upcoming Q4 Summit of The Lipstick Network – it's not just an event; it's a celebration of vitality in all its forms. This year's "Ladies Night" with a twist promises to be an electrifying blend of dinner, wine, and content that will ignite discussions on vitality in the workplace, homes, and personal wellbeing.
Join Katy and Charity in a conversation that's not just inspiring but a call to action for every woman to find her voice, own her space, and be an unapologetic force of nature. Charity Golden is more than just a leader; she's a catalyst for change, showing us that when women support each other, incredible things happen.
