You’re listening to The Femme Cast — a podcast about life, love, work, and saying the quiet parts out loud.

I’m your host, Maria Rei — Leader, Speaker, Advocate, and Impact Strategist — and this is a space where I share personal stories, lived experiences, and reflections on the patterns I see in how women navigate work, relationships, and modern life.
We talk about the things that sit just under the surface: workplace dynamics, gender, visibility, identity, relationships, expectations, and the tension between what we experience and what we’re told to ignore.

Some episodes are reflective, some are personal, some are uncomfortable, and some are simply observations from real life — but all of them are grounded in honesty, curiosity, and lived experience.

This isn’t a space that tells you what to do or who to become. It’s a space for noticing, naming, and exploring what’s actually happening beneath the surface of women’s lives.

If you’ve ever thought “I thought it was just me,” this podcast is for you.

New episodes every Tuesday.
