OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
What does it mean to be a conservative woman today—rooted in faith, family, and purpose? Nicole Cleveland sits down with our favorite Lauren Husmann, Chief of Staff at the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women, to explore the legacy of Clare Boothe Luce, the Center’s mission, and how it is shaping bold female leaders across the nation.
From national summits and campus lectures to internships and mentorship, this conversation reveals how the Luce Center equips young women with the confidence, skills, and courage to thrive. You’ll also hear about the viral Yeti controversy that unexpectedly propelled the organization into the national spotlight, their partnership with Grizzly, and why true leadership means caring for the whole person—not just their résumé.
