5 Incredible Women Who Inspired Us This Month
If women ran the world, we’d probably be holding weekly meetings over charcuterie boards and a glass of wine, handing out gold stars for emotional labor, and solving world crises before noon. But until then? We do what we’ve always done—lift each other up and move mountains anyway.
This month on Womanhood Unwrapped, we’re spotlighting five women who showed us what it looks like to push forward with power, honesty, and intention. From the friend who always knows what to say, to the whistleblower who reminded the world what bravery looks like—we’re honoring their light, their grit, and the ripple effect they’ve had on all of us.
Because when women inspire other women, that’s how the world shifts. Let’s get into it.
Jill Rose — The Coach Who Knows What’s Really Holding You Back
You know that friend who sees through your chaos, calls out your patterns, and somehow leaves you feeling more grounded than when you started? That’s Jill.
A dear friend and a powerhouse coach, Jill Rose helps women unlearn the lies they’ve been living—and step into real, aligned leadership. Her work isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about healing deeper. Whether she’s talking about the nervous system, old narratives, or how to actually live in your body (not just exist in it), Jill reminds us: you can be wise and still growing.
“We all carry armor that once served us. But you’re allowed to set it down.” – Jill Rose
Kristina Godfrey — The Mentor Who Moves the Needle and the Narrative
CEO, Stages of She podcast co-host, and real-deal PR force, Kristina is the kind of woman who turns strategy into soul work. She’s built an award-winning agency, Godfrey Social PR, with big-name campaigns and bold client wins—but more than that, she’s built a team culture rooted in collaboration, trust, and authenticity.
This month, we watched Kristina speak at the JP Morgan Female Collective about what it takes to build a lasting brand as a woman in business. Spoiler alert: it’s not smoke and mirrors. It’s doing the work and bringing other women along for the ride.
“Kristina reminds us that power isn't about being loud—it's about being intentional.”
Cassie Fine (Ventura) — The Whistleblower Who Refused to Stay Silent
This month, Cassie Ventura stood in her truth—and the shockwaves are still being felt. Once best known for her music and modeling career, Cassie made headlines when she courageously came forward with abuse allegations against a powerful figure in the music industry.
But let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a celebrity news moment. It was a cultural shift. Cassie’s bravery gave voice to countless women who’ve been silenced for too long. She reminded us that telling the truth isn’t always safe—but it is revolutionary.
“Cassie didn’t just share a story. She disrupted a system. That’s courage on another level.”
Amy Griffin — The Author Who Wrote the Book We Didn’t Know We Needed
Amy Griffin’s debut novel The Tell is everything we love about women’s fiction: layered, emotional, and unafraid to get a little messy. Set in a world of secrets and second chances, Amy’s story hits that sweet spot between escapism and self-reflection. You’ll laugh, cry, and probably text your therapist.
But it’s not just her storytelling that inspired us—it’s the fact that Amy wrote this book after years of life, motherhood, and putting everyone else first. It’s a reminder that your voice doesn’t expire. And your story doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
“Sometimes the plot twist is you deciding to put yourself first for once.” – Amy Griffin
Kate Casey — The Podcaster Who Gets Us Thinking Between the Laughs
Reality TV may get a bad rap, but Kate Casey proves it can be smart, thought-provoking, and feminist-as-hell. As host of Reality Life with Kate Casey, she dives deep into not just the headlines, but the humanity behind the shows we love (and love to hate).
Kate’s interviews bring empathy, insight, and a healthy dose of pop culture perspective. She’s one of those women who doesn’t just watch the world—she breaks it down and invites you to think more critically about it. And we’re here for it. Side note: we’re a bit biased since our founder and editor, Lis Thomas, was recently featured on Kate’s Saturday Stories series. Listen to the interview here!
“Kate doesn’t just talk reality TV. She talks reality. Period.”
Wrap-Up: Your Turn to Pay It Forward
These women moved us, woke us up, and made us think. Maybe they reminded you of your own power—or maybe they gave you the nudge to reach out to that woman in your world who’s been quietly doing something brave.
