She's Raising The Bar: Recent Episodes
Shes Raising The Bar
Kicking off Women’s History Month, the popular internet radio show the Bridal Body Shop will become She’s Raising the Bar. The redesigned program will expand on the core of women’s empowerment heard in the original, a show primarily focused on the fitness of brides-to-be. She’s Raising the Bar will present a wider forum for women’s sense of self, strength and standing, through perspectives physical, emotional and socio-political. Co-hosts Laurie Towers and Elite Ziegelman will engage an array of guests, both female and male, on pertinent topics that fuse the strengthening of the body to that of the mind.Whereas the original show featured health and fitness tips and interviews with professionals of both the bridal and fitness industries, it also engaged in topical and often humorous discussion. She’s Raising the Bar, however, will push the agenda of women’s empowerment to front and center. “Much of this will still concern physical fitness”, Towers stresses, “Because strength of body and mind are thoroughly inter-connected. But we now have a forum well beyond issues of brides and wedding prep anxiety. She’s Raising the Bar speaks to the shattering of the glass ceiling women have always been confronted with”. However the humorous exchanges between the co- hosts will still be as much a part of this show as before.

If the thought of starting over at a certain age seems like a daunting task that you could never even wrap your head around . You'll want to hear this ladies story. Hosts Laurie Towers and Elite Ziegelman welcome speaking guest April Malloy Peacock
April's beginnings define the true meaning of struggle. She went through major abuse as a child to being a foster kid in numerous foster homes.
April started with some small construction jobs at 15 to pay for school, cheerleading uniforms, and clothes–it was then she discovered she had a knack for construction, but wouldn't realize the potential of her talent for years to come.
April doesn't look like a construction contractor or that she has nine kids. She has struggled in a male dominated industry. This is when she knew she had to do something to help other women by becoming outspoken to end bullying and to help other women to be paid and treated equally. When clients don't pay and treat contractors unfairly it effects not just the contractor but also their employees.
April knew she could be this voice and pave a better path for other women.
Nothing better than a thought provoking topic and an intelligent group of minds to tackle and dissect it. Join hosts Laurie Towers and Elite Ziegelman as they welcome supermodels Nancy Donahue, Kim Alexis and Kelly Emberg as they navigate the challenges of the societal pressures on women, and how to press the reset button when molding our daughters
