The Burnouts with Phoebe & Sophia

Gloria Steinem's Unreleased Interview: Life Lessons for the Next Generation

Episode Summary

In celebration of Gloria’s legacy, we are sharing unreleased footage from an interview we had the honor of conducting in Gloria’s home last spring. Gloria was unbelievably generous with her time and wisdom, and it is a privilege to be able to share her stories with our audience. We learned how Gloria found purpose through her work, about the women in her own life that inspired her, and what words of advice she has for women and girls today. Thank you, Gloria, for everything.
