Not every woman in logistics is a mother.
Not every caregiving story fits a Hallmark mold.
And not every load we carry is visible.

In this deeply personal Mother’s Day episode, Gia opens up about life as a childless-not-by-choice woman in logistics—an ovarian cancer survivor who’s led teams, shown up, and carried more than her fair share, despite being quietly sidelined by assumptions.

She’s not alone.

After sharing her story online, the response was overwhelming. Messages flooded in—from women across industries who’ve felt unseen, undervalued, or quietly exhausted from being the ones who “can always cover.”

This episode is for them—and for every leader willing to create space for stories that don’t begin with kids.

Inside the episode:
👩🏽‍💼 Childless ≠ Available: Why assuming “no kids = more bandwidth” is unfair and untrue
📉 Policy vs. Reality: How coverage expectations and time-off norms quietly sideline childless women
📊 The Bigger Picture:

• Women in logistics are rising—but still underrepresented in leadership
• Gender-diverse teams make better decisions 73% of the time
• Companies with diverse leadership are 25% more likely to outperform competitors
  🧠 Action Over Sympathy: Practical shifts leaders can make to create equitable, inclusive work cultures

This isn’t a request for pity. It’s a call for precision—with people, not just freight.

Let’s stop rewarding burnout and assumption.
Let’s start listening—really listening—to the invisible loads so many carry.
