Premiere Episode Features Indra Nooyi, Named
Among the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women and Prominent Business
Executive
Bright Horizons, a leading education and care company, today
announced the launch of its new podcast, The Work-Life Equation,
featuring candid conversations, and stories from corporate leaders,
public figures and everyday people who are balancing life, careers
and caregiving. Co-hosted by Bright Horizons Chief Digital and
Transformation Officer, entrepreneur, mom, and a champion of women
around the world, Priya Krishnan along with best-selling author,
advocate and global voice for moms, Christine Michel Carter, the
podcast’s debut guest is Indra Nooyi, a prominent business
executive who has been ranked among the world’s 100 most powerful
women. Additional guests this season include recording artist
Deborah Cox and civil rights leader Alanah Odoms.
“Finding the balance between being a caregiver, finding personal
happiness and having success in the workplace is a struggle for
many,” said Priya Krishnan, Bright Horizons’ Chief Transformation
Officer. “Christine and I hope that through these candid
conversations, caregivers of all kinds can learn from our guests
and gain valuable insights whether they are caring for and raising
children or transitioning to taking care of the elders in their
lives. And hopefully we can all laugh together along the way.”
“The 2023 theme for Women’s History Month is ‘Celebrating Women
Who Tell Our Stories.’ I look forward to partnering with Bright
Horizons to provide inspirational and informing stories that
support working parents – especially women – and meet them where
they are,” said Christine Michel Carter.
Bright Horizons knows that caregiving doesn’t come with a user’s
manual. Priya and Christine will provide new perspectives on life,
work and caregiving, celebrating the ups and downs and helping
listeners realize they’re not alone in their journey. Every month
they will have conversations with guests about the human
experience, navigating their own growth raising and learning from
their children, and becoming caregivers to their own parents.
Each episode will uncover a different aspect of the caregiving
journey – how caregivers navigate some of the most complex aspects
of raising children or caring for parents and the partnerships that
are essential along the way. Episodes begin with a segment called
“Here We Go Conversations” in which Christine and Priya kick off
the episode by discussing tough conversations and moments that they
have had during the week that listeners can relate to and learn
from.
- Indra Nooyi, an Indian-American business executive and
former chief executive officer and chairperson of PepsiCo. She was
the first woman of color, the first woman and the first immigrant
to head a Fortune 50 company. Indra touches on her path to success
in the workplace and highlights the importance of supporting
working women and parents as a whole on their path to growing their
families and notes that child care is an essential benefit for
employers to be providing to their employees.
- Deborah Cox, an award-winning recording artist, Canadian
Music Hall of Fame inductee and mother of three. Deborah chats with
Priya and Christine about navigating opportunities in her career
while balancing her children and family, supporting her children on
their individual journeys and how to take it one day at a time and
continue to move forward.
- Alanah Odoms, a civil rights leader, mother and the
executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana and the first Black
woman to lead the ACLU. Alanah discusses how parents can create a
world that they want their children to inherit and how parents can
communicate with their children on tough topics in the news. She
also talks about practicing self-love to empower yourself and
others and how she is working to create a pipeline for future women
and women of color to succeed.
