Over the years, we have seen women in the public eye becoming victims of misogyny and journalistic abuse, losing their right to be the writers of their own stories. And making a statement, telling the truth and reclaiming their female power is not for the faint of heart. So who do you trust to help you drive your own narrative? Alex Cooper has become the go-to interviewer women have felt comfortable opening up to. There is a reason why Call Her Daddy is one of the most successful woman-led podcasts to date.
While it started as “just” a podcast, it slowly evolved into a global movement and is now a safe place for celebrities to open their books of secrets without hesitation. Alex is pitting in the face of misogyny and putting a modern twist on feminism which is exactly what’s needed in the society we live in and an industry that is full of toxic behavior and lots of heated drama. She has built an empire and a huge platform she doesn’t take for granted.
Watching her raw content and feeling her confidence through the screen, you might think she has always been that popular and perfect girl everyone loved and admired. But growing up, she had her fair share of struggles to push through, bullies to face and very low self-esteem. Being as creative as she is, shifting her focus on creating content and embracing her passion for producing was what saved her. And look at her now. She is the host, executive producer and CEO of her own company and the highest-paid female podcaster on Spotify. The best revenge is success, isn’t it?
Alex is relatable, genuine and very open with her audience, and the Daddy Gang has created a very strong connection with their founding father. When you see them bump into each other on the street, you’d think they are old friends catching up on life even though they just met for the first time. It’s a relationship you can only understand, if you’re a part of the community yourself.
With her fanbase being primarily millennials and Gen-Z, Alex is shaping the young generations while representing the revolution of podcasting. We want real content, we wanna hear about mental health issues, the realness of burnouts, how to navigate friendships nowadays and how to be OK again. Call Her Daddy covers it all, there’s no real taboo topic or anything to be ashamed of. Alex Cooper is a female mastermind and all-round inspiration to anyone who has listened to what she has to say.
Listening to the weekly episodes, you always get an interesting new topic or famous guest who’s ready to spill the tea. Previous podcast guests have included Miley Cyrus, Kelsea Ballerini, Reneé Rapp and Christina Aguilera. Who wouldn’t wanna see their favorite artists being respectfully interrogated on the Call Her Daddy podcast?
It’s time to put an end to the fear of negative tabloid media coverage and social media trolls. Women deserve a safe space to speak their truth and be in charge of their narratives. If we have learned anything from Alex Cooper, it’s that we have a voice and if we don’t use it for the greater good, to make a difference and amplify female power then what are we even here for? She found her professional purpose, have you?
