We've come a long way...Together

In our community, every voice matters.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Like a Girl Media newsletter!

Hi! I’m Joy Rios, Founder of Like a Girl Media.

Six years ago, I started HIT Like a Girl Pod as a passion project with a simple goal: to amplify women leaders in healthcare, technology, and beyond. What began as a small endeavor has blossomed into a vibrant community of talented creators.

Today, Like a Girl Media is more than just a podcast. It's a a platform where diverse voices unite to drive positive change in healthcare.

 Together, we can achieve more.

Just like in a choir or band, each voice contributes to the harmony. When one voice rests, others carry on, creating a beautiful and enduring melody.

In our community, every voice matters. By supporting each other and taking turns, we can sustain our efforts and make a lasting impact.

From inspiring women leaders to navigating healthcare policy, the podcasts we rally behind cover a wide range of topics that matter.

Join us and be part of this vibrant community.
