    UnfilteredUnfiltered is the honest truth about being a woman in the creative and marketing industries. After realising that we’re pretty tired of the same old sexist sh*t, ‘Women Unltd’ and ‘we are Outspoken’ have joined forces, bringing in expert guests to share experiences, solutions and hot tips. In our first podcast titled 'Money Money Money' we discuss pay-gap issues, negotiating skills and other 'money chat' that women usually shy away from. The podcast is available on Apple itunes https://podcas
