Where are we going from here when it comes to patriarchy, feminism, toxic masculinity and toxic femininity? What do these concepts show us about our inner shadows? What empowering models can we cultivate to allow every one a voice?
Soul Nectar Show welcomes Lesley Michaels, a woman born into feminism through her courageous paternal grandmother, who experienced and navigated the 2nd wave of feminism at a young age later striking out on her own in the middle of a cultural revolution.

She is also the Podcast Host of Women We Should Know and has a TED talk coming up in early winter 2023, Lift One With You, As You Rise.

MORE ABOUT LESLEY MICHAELS
Lesley Michaels was born to feminism. Her foundational ethos was shaped by her audacious paternal grandmother who was a 1st wave feminist and savvy businesswoman. She came of age just as 2nd wave feminism was becoming a significant American social movement. At age 16 she struck out on her own for NYC and the heart of the cultural transformation that was the zeitgeist of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
She was later one of the first women to break through the glass ceiling in the “old boy” industry of oil and gas. Shortly after leaving the corporate world, she was infected by a latent entrepreneurial spirit. Over the following years Lesley developed and sold several small businesses. In each case her staff was a multicultural representation of women.
During this same period, she became a leader in the coaching industry. Lesley has mentored Fortune 500 C-Suite executives, individuals within the financially privileged sector, and celebrities.
Lesley’s body of unique life experiences have provided her with a first-hand understanding of the daily struggles faced by women of every race, culture, and sexual orientation. On the Shoulders of Mighty Women is a tribute to the power and grace of those who came before and the ones who will follow, the warriors and the fallen. This book is one more way Lesley chooses to amplify the voice, energy, experience-based understandings and compassion of women fighting for equality, diversity, equity and inclusion.
Lesley facilitates virtual programs on topics ranging from Be a Giraffe in a Field of Zebras to Developing Women’s Strategic Alliance. Lesley also hosts the weekly podcast; Women We Should Know, will be delivering her TED talk early winter of 2023, Lift One With You, As You Rise.
