About WOMANTalk
Welcome to WOMANTalk's blog. My name is Sharon Hughes, and I'm the Founder and President of The Center for Changing Worldviews and the host of Changing Worldviews TALK Radio. The more I interview experts on the crucial issues of our day, the more impressed I am with the passion and dedication of women, guests and listeners alike, who tirelessly take on the challenges of the 21st century. Whether single or married, mothers or not, working in or out of the home, women of all ages everywhere have something significant to say about their communities, country and the ever-changing face of today’s world.

While attending the National Religious Broadcasters Convention earlier this year, I was inspired by several workshops on women's shifting needs as they fulfill their varied and increasingly complex roles. Hoping to compel, involve, and highlight today's modern woman, I shared several ideas with my husband and Board members, and WOMANTalk is the result!

Therefore, I am happy to announce the launch of WOMANTalk, a new division of The Center for Changing Worldviews and new edition of Changing Worldviews TALK radio. Along with a great line-up of informed guests, I'll be joined every other Friday on the show by coast-to-coast commentators, Audrey Russo from New York and Debra Rae from Seattle, who will also serve as Contributing Editors of WOMANTalk's blogsite.

In addition to this new Friday edition of the show WOMANTalk's team of qualified writers will keep readers updated on the hottest issues of the day, delivering a variety of fresh and heartfelt points of view on our blogsite. Plus, because today's woman finds herself juggling so many responsibilities at the same time the world is rapidly changing we'll also provide helpful and encouraging suggestions for taking care of home, family, relationships and self—-body, soul, and spirit.

My friends and I look forward to engaging listeners and readers alike in relevant and real, rational and relational ways, and hope you will join us on a regular basis, both here on the blog and Fridays on the show. Please help us spread the word by telling your friends. This is just the beginning, we have much more to come.

So, here's to real issues, real talk and real women - WOMANTalk!
