"Sometimes I can hardly believe what I get to do for work, who’s company I get to keep, the meaningful conversations I get to have with women leaders and powerhouses who work in healthcare and technology, the stories and impactful work I get to amplify, the friendships I get to make & nurture, the places I get to visit... Pinch me, because the HIT Like a Girl podcast and community has evolved beyond my imagination, and I feel like I’m still not dreaming big enough".
-Joy Rios
