S03 E54 The Soundtrack of Womanship

Nicolette Lazarus describes herself as a mid-life woman, with a 100% record of getting through bad days. This is something she thinks we all should remind ourselves of when facing those challenges we all experience that we never think we'll get through. Originally from the UK, she has lived in Amsterdam with her partner for over 16 years and now considers it to be her home. As a people person, she’s passionate about genuine human connection and exploring the things that we often collectively experience as women, and yet don’t talk about.

This has led to her leaving her previous career and comfort zone, the world of advertising and communications, to focus on her passion, bringing women together in allyship, and positive support of each other, regardless of race, religion, or other forms of diversity. She created a community and platform which is called Womanship , based in her belief that women hold the key to making the world a better place for all.

In this episode Nicolette tells us her very own story by taking us on a journey through her life, emphasizing that we are many things, and that pigeonholes do not define us. Her story leads us towards the founding of Womanship and what happened before it, in between and now.

I hope you enjoy listening to Nicolette and her story because stories are what binds us together.

At Salt the Podcast my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms. It is a commitment.
