Running Point, Netflix
The show revolves around the family that owns the basketball team LA Waves, starring none other than Kate Hudson as the leading role; the new president of the company. You will see her being underestimated, belittled, undermined, judged and criticised, but you won’t ever see her take it and give up. Right by her side, her best friend and head of HR portrayed by the incredible Brenda Song. This show is about more than just sports, it’s about female empowerment, sisterhood and family while also representing remarkable female leadership. She can, she will and she did. The series has become one of my favourites, in fact, I watched it twice already and it just came out not long ago. Go see for yourself and you will get why.
With Love, Meghan, Netflix
While Meghan Sussex has been judged and scrutinized by tabloid media, she never stopped being her determined, loving and kind self. She has been a true source of inspiration for anyone who takes the time to care and lets her add a sparkle of joy to their lives. If you haven’t watched her newest Netflix show yet, you should, as it is a wonderful collection of inspiring episodes for everyone. In each episode, she invites a guest to cook and create something special with and for them. You learn new ways, new recipes and get inspired by her creativity and genuine love for what she does.
High Potential, Disney Plus
If you are a sucker for a good crime show, this is for you. An intellectually gifted single mum cleans at a police station, interferes with a case and becomes a police consultant. The character is played by Kaitlin Olson who is working under the head of the department portrayed by the amazing Judy Reyes. It’s so fascinating to watch a woman from being overlooked to being celebrated for her incredible gift and skill-set. I personally binged it so fast and I cannot wait for another season.
