Trusted Friend Upcoming Events
In honor of International Women’s Day, we are diving into the extraordinary lives of women who defied expectations, risked everything, and played pivotal roles in shaping history—often without receiving the recognition they deserved
Award-winning author and historian Clare Mulley has a gift for bringing history’s forgotten heroines to life. In this episode, she shares the gripping stories of fearless women like Christine Granville, the spy who talked her way out of Nazi execution, and Zo, who parachuted into Nazi-occupied Poland in a dress.
Clare’s passion for uncovering untold stories makes history come alive in the most compelling way. These women weren’t just brave—they were brilliantly effective, shaping the world in ways that often went unrecognized.
Join me as we explore their untold stories, the power of persistence, and the lessons we can learn from their courage. This episode is a celebration of resilience, resourcefulness, and the incredible impact of women who refused to be underestimated.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
Women’s Greatest Strength: Many of these women succeeded because they were overlooked. The assumption that they were "harmless" became their greatest asset in espionage and resistance movements.
Courage in the Face of Fear: Whether it was parachuting behind enemy lines, securing Nazi surrenders, or talking their way out of execution, these women took unimaginable risks—and won.
Beyond Sacrifice—Effectiveness: Too often, we talk about their bravery and sacrifice but not enough about how incredibly effective they were. They didn’t just assist—they led.
The Power of Storytelling: Many of these stories remained hidden for too long. Recognizing and sharing them isn’t just about honoring history—it’s about redefining what leadership and strength look like today.
