Empowering Women Podcast Series
Inspiring women telling their unique stories
Choose to be an EMPOWERED WOMAN
Close-Up Television & Radio has featured over one-thousand inspiring women on our podcast. These women all have one thing in common - they choose to be "empowered". An empowered woman is someone who knows her strengths and isn’t afraid to embrace them. To be empowered means to be in control of your life, aware of your capabilities, and ready to take on even biggest dreams.
