What if one moment in a toy store could launch a movement? In this powerful close to Season 2, Ep. 30, host Dr. Natalie Luke sits down with Go! Go! Sports Girls founder Jodi Bondi Norgaard, who turned frustration over a hyper-sexualized doll into a nationwide mission to reshape how girls are seen—and how they see themselves. From confronting gatekeepers in the toy industry to earning the support of the White House, Jodi shares her journey of resistance, resilience, and redefining the rules.

Jodi Bondi Norgaard opens up about rejection from major retailers, the self-doubt she had to silence, and the unexpected allies who helped her stay the course. If you’ve ever felt underestimated, stuck in self-doubt, or ready to build something meaningful—this episode is your call to act. Because ambition, imagination, and equality don’t just belong in books or boardrooms. They begin in the stories we tell our children—and in the ones we dare to rewrite.
