Old Chicks Know Sh*t Podcast

#006: In their 50’s Amy Edwards and her partner Cathy started a company called We Warriors as a second career. We Warriors creates hygiene products for busy on the go women. The idea was born from a personal need they both had and the fact that they couldn’t find a product that suited their active lifestyles and also aligned with their passions around the environment on and supporting women and women’s rights. In this episode, we talk about following your passion and jumping into a business and industry that you know nothing about, their innovative business philosophy and what it means to be able to give back to important causes. We also cover taboo subjects like incontinence, invisibility, and isolation that women in midlife can experience as a result of not talking about what happening in our lives.

If you’re ready to change the world through a philanthropic voice, then this is the episode for you.

We sit down with Rebecca Powers, founder of Impact Austin to discuss her journey from heartache to healing. By following her instincts and trusting her gut, Ms. Powers discovered joy by taking a leap of faith that led to finding her own philanthropic voice that inspired other women in her community.

In this discussion we learn:

• How one woman’s journey from heartache to healing inspired a community of women to raise their philanthropic voices to make a profound impact.
• How joy results from taking a leap of faith especially when coupled with grace and grit.
• How trusting your gut and following your instincts pay big dividends.
• How giving back to one’s community brings positive, transformational change to the giver.
• That philanthropy comes in all sizes, it can be learned at any age, and it’s never too late to start—so, let’s get going!

Rebecca Powers is well known in the Austin community for her philanthropic passion and empowering people to help others. In 2003, Powers founded Impact Austin, a collective giving organization whose concept was simple and inspirational - bringing women and their financial resources together to make a profound impact in their region.
