The EqualizHER podcast is about real equality stories that maketh the woman
The EqualizHER Podcast features life changing life stories on gender equality from remarkable women... okay & sometimes men.
Host Bianca Hartge-Hazelman talks candidly to business leaders, public figures and change agents about their personal journeys – the highs and lows, and what they learnt along the way.
These women also share how their experiences with equality affected their money stories and the actions they take today, including what financial or tech apps they can’t live without

In this EqualizHER podcast, Joanne Edwards is the chief risk and data officer of ASX-listed fintech Wisr. She’s a person who is building on the shoulders of many women in data science before and is helping to bring more leadership diversity to her field. She remembers starting her career as the only woman in her course area, before being one of only two women in her office – which made her a nervous wreck when it came to presentations. Today Joanne is leading the charge for women in STEM and she’s using data insights to help people break down barriers to financial education.

EP 20 – Licia Heath

In this EqualizHER Podcast, Licia Heath is the CEO of Women for Election and she’s on a mission to get more women into politics. Her light bulb moment came after the birth of her first child whilst working in a fast-paced financial services environment. She was exhausted by the work and mental load. Things just didn’t seem fair, and this helped give rise to a purpose to encourage and fearlessly support more women to enter the political arena and start to change policies so that they reflect half of the population.

EP 19 – Carol Schwartz
- • 20:40
In this EqualizHER Podcast, Carol Schwartz was raised in an equal opportunity home where she was encouraged to try things but always expected to attend school. It wasn’t really until university that she started noticing that more women than men dropping out of degrees, either to have children or travel. It was an eye-opener then, and today she’s constantly outraged and determined to help change the barrier that prevent women from stepping up and into leadership positions.
