Wednesday Wisdom

November 18, 2020 by Deanna Cauthen Leave a Comment

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

Episode 60–Wednesday Wisdom for November

I’m excited to announce that ‘The Working Woman Radio Show’ is kicking off a new feature of the podcast called ‘Wednesday Wisdom’.

It’s a time when I ask my listeners to give me their feedback about a particular question, and then I read and share the wisdom that they gave me on the show on the third Wednesday of each month.

The idea behind this new segment is twofold. First, I am always looking for new ways to encourage and inspire my listeners. That’s what this show is all about.

Secondly, I want to make sure that I’m creating opportunities for my audience to engage with the show and to give meaningful feedback that will help others.

There is a wealth of knowledge out there and I realize that there is much wisdom with a multitude of counselors. The question for our first ‘Wednesday Wisdom’ segment is this:

What word of advice would you give a young woman entering the workforce?

I asked that question because there are many young women like my daughters who are entering the workforce and who need good sound advice that will help them navigate their way to success.

I was particularly interested in hearing from women aged 35+ since they have more experience in the workforce, and I am happy and excited to say that I got some really great responses, and as an extra bonus, I threw in some quotes from a few of my favorite celebs, so I want to go ahead and share them with you, now.

December 17, 2019 by Deanna Cauthen Leave a Comment

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

Episode 13–The Working Woman’s Guide to Preparing for Retirement

Retirement looks financially different for women than it does for many men. Some women may have stopped working to stay home with our children and then returned to the workforce, later. There are also women who only worked part time because they had a spouse who was the primary breadwinner. Both of these scenarios affect the “bottom line” of a woman’s retirement funds.

Kathy Mitchell is a former Georgia Power Company communications executive and a retired managing editor of a weekly newspaper publication. She gives inside information about the financial do’s and dont’s of retirement.

We discuss how to apply for medicare insurance and where to get financial help, if you need it. Kathy also talks about what women who are “late to the game” can do help themselves financially navigate the retirement years. Finally, she shares tips on how millennials can practice good money habits now to prepare for retirement, later. Finally,

The Senior Working Woman

November 19, 2019 by Deanna Cauthen Leave a Comment

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

Episode 9- The Senior Working Woman: The Benefits of Working After 65

If you’re a senior woman, age 65 or over, in the workforce, you are not alone. Statistics show that the number of senior working women has risen 4.2 percent over the past year to 17.4 million.

There are several reasons for this increase. Many older women are helping their families catch up after the Great Recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, which set back their finances.

Others have been forced to return to the workforce due to divorce which is splitting up a record number of older couples.

Some women are simply seeking self-fulfillment after years of taking care of the needs of others. Also, women usually have longer life expectancy and need to finance longer retirements. Whatever the reason, there are more senior working women than ever before.

Special guest, Joanna Styles, has had a variety of careers that have spanned over six decades which include working as a circulation desk manager for the Queens Borough Public Library in New York, owning and operating Styles Home Cooking Restaurant with her second husband, Joseph, and teaching for the Fulton County School System, where she recently was awarded ‘Paraprofessional of the Year’.

Ms. Styles shares personal stories about her work experience as an older woman and how it has benefited her financially, socially, and psychologically.

Ms. Styles lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She is the mother of four, grandmother of 11, and great-grandmother of 15. She attends Mt. Paran Church of God in Atlanta and has been and active member there for more than 30 years.

Episode 7-Women in Politics: Why It Matters

The Working Woman Radio sits down with Ms. Jannquell Peters, former Mayor of the City of East Point, to discuss the importance of women in politics.

Ms. Peters was elected 33rd Mayor of the City of East Point on December 3, 2013. Mayor Peters is an attorney, entrepreneur and small business owner. Before taking public office, Jannquell held a variety of positions working with the underrepresented, providing a voice to those without. She has served as a mediator, public defender and a child advocate attorney—the position where she currently serves and represents abused and neglected children and families in foster care.

On this episode, we will discuss the gender biases and double standards that women face as elected officials and political leaders. We will also talk about the day in the life of a political candidate. Finally, we’ll explore ways on how women can balance work and family in a male-dominated field.
