My guest today is Enid Weishaus.
Enid is an innovative social worker, who has utilized her skills in
the medical, philanthropic and politic arenas. She grew up in
Chicago, Illinois, began her career as an infant stimulation
teacher, then when she moved to NYC, she became director of the
philanthropic program at American Express, before becoming a
Regional Director for Lower Hudson Valley for Hillary Clinton
during Clinton’s tenure as U.S. Senator from NY.
Enid attributes her social consciousness that is infused in
everything she does, to her parents who were Holocaust survivors
and immigrants. In fact, the trauma and plight of humanity that
Enid’s ancestors endured has made it natural for Enid to be so
invested in humanity, taking responsibility for our history of
cruelty, and being an advocate for social justice.
Enid has reverence for nature, a joy for dancing and a passion for
advocating for Women’s Issues.. A few years back, Enid developed a
one-day forum for women called “Smarter, Bolder, Older: Redefining
Life after 50”. Enid inspires women to own their wisdom, their life
experience, ask themselves who they are and who they want to
become. She is applying these questions to the aging process,
bringing consciousness to the insights of a fairly new term:
“elderhood”.
Her husband, Bob Stien, was also a guest on my
podcast,
episode #85.
