The Wider Lens: Powered by Focus on Women
The Wider Lens is a podcast about seeing possibility where you might not have looked before. Powered by Focus on Women, the show opens the door to broader conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders across disciplines.
Each episode features real, thoughtful conversations — not just about success, but about uncertainty, change, and growth. We talk about how careers evolve, how priorities shift, and how people build work that supports the life they want.
Honest, grounded, and community-minded, The Wider Lens invites you to step back, zoom out, and expand how you think about your own creative path.
