Episode 38: Women and Girls in Central Indiana Pt. I: What They’re Facing and What Support Really Looks Like

In Part 1 of this special two-part episode of Herd Strategies’ podcast How They See Us with Denise Herd, Denise is joined by Deana Potterf, CEO of Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, and returning guest Tamara Winfrey-Harris, President of the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, for an honest conversation about the realities impacting women and girls across our community.

Together, they dig into what’s showing up in girls’ day-to-day lives, where women are feeling the most pressure, and why “support” has to be more than a statement. From confidence and leadership development to safety, stability, and access to opportunity, this episode focuses on what women and girls need right now and what it takes to meet them with real, practical support.

Part 2 continues the conversation with a focus on policy, civic engagement, and how we can show up in ways that create long-term change.
