This special episode of Women WithAI marks a double celebration: International Women's Day 2025 and the one-year anniversary of the Women WithAI podcast. Host Joanna Shilton is joined by two powerhouse female voices from the WithAI FM Podcast Network, Iyabo Oba host of Relationships WithAI and Lena Robinson host of Creatives WithAI, for a deep and candid discussion on this year’s International Women’s Day theme: Accelerate Action.

Together, they share personal stories of moments where they had to take bold, decisive steps to drive change in their careers. From challenging pay inequities to turning around struggling organisations, these conversations highlight the power of action in creating real, lasting impact. They also explore the role of AI in shaping the future, both as a tool for empowerment and as a space where women must claim their seat at the decision-making table.

But action isn’t just about grand gestures. It’s also about advocating for others, making space for women’s voices in meetings, and ensuring AI development reflects diverse perspectives. The conversation wraps up with a lighthearted but important question: What’s one thing AI could automate to give us more time for action? The answers may surprise you.

Join us for a dynamic, inspiring, and thought-provoking discussion on why now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate action for women in AI and beyond.
