Your Name Carries More Weight Than You Think

About this episode

This episode explores the significance of names in shaping identity and legacy across different cultures, particularly for women.

What's in a name? Turns out there's a lot more than most of us realise. In some cultures your name can open doors before you even walk into a room. In others it means very little or can even shut doors. In this episode we explore how names shape identity, carry legacy, and for many women around the world, become something they're expected to leave behind when they marry. We hope you enjoy this episode. And if you can, please share with a friend or two :)
