Igniting Social Change: The Power of Places with Kaitlin Calogera

When I sat down to chat with Kaitlin, founder of A Tour of Her Own, for this week’s episode of the Heads Together Podcast, I knew it was going to be a special conversation. Kaitlin’s work is nothing short of extraordinary, she operates at the intersection of tourism, history, and feminism, creating experiences that elevate women’s stories and bring them to the forefront. It’s a mission that resonates deeply with me and, I suspect, with so many of you.

Kaitlin shared her journey of building a business that not only celebrates women’s history but also challenges the way we think about public spaces and storytelling. Her vision is bold and unapologetic: to use education and tourism as tools for social change. Hearing her talk about how she reframes the narrative to include the voices of women who have been historically overlooked was a powerful reminder of why representation matters.

We also touched on the role of community in entrepreneurship. Kaitlin emphasised how important it is to build genuine relationships with people who share your vision or who can help expand it. Her ability to connect with others and create a strong network has been instrumental in her success. And her perspective on belonging, that we all belong, but sometimes we need to search deeper for the places, people, and stories that resonate with us, felt especially profound.

This conversation left me inspired and reflective. As women entrepreneurs, we often wear many hats, balance countless priorities, and strive to make a difference in our own ways. Kaitlin’s story is a testament to what’s possible when we follow our passions, stay true to our values, and trust in the power of storytelling to shape the future.

If you’re looking for inspiration to go all in on your mission or simply to connect with stories that matter, I can’t recommend this episode enough. And if you’re intrigued by Kaitlin’s work, be sure to check out her book and learn more about A Tour of Her Own. It might just spark a new way of looking at the world.
