即便在高度商业化的今日世界，很多女性还是被金钱羞耻所困扰和禁锢，但@嘎里嘎气Gagaland播客的主播 Erica不会。 她相信自己要做大事、要改造这个世界，要让包括自己在内的女性掌握更多资源和权力，因此她的注意力不太容易被纷乱的外界道德评判而搅扰，而能够持续专注于自己白手起家的事业。这样的清晰和坚定，在商业市场中自主导航的自信，加上对女性性别群体身份的自觉和骄傲，这几种特质的结合，是中国新兴的一群女性商业创业者的特征。作为一个正在扩大的群体，也是前所未有的现象。 在与海马星球联合制作的这期节目里，嘎嘎分享了自己创立运动生活品牌的经验、她如何成为了一家新的格斗馆的合伙人，以及这之中如何融合自己的性别权力思维。 追求理想要基于现实的计算；“有目的性”不是坏事，只要没有恶意；要与人多交往、坦诚地交流彼此的需求和所作的事；以共赢的思维一起拓展一个新兴小众市场，而不是在狭窄的空间里你死我活；虽然没有资本，以充分的调研和深思熟虑的决策一样可以赢得入场券和话语权……这些真诚的分享对女性来说，不仅实用，也是一种自我解放的疗愈。

在2024年最后两个月，海马星球播客会有一系列女性群像，展现新一代女性拓展人生道路的可能性。第一期的画像，是一个叫袋鼠的单亲妈妈，她是当下中国社会里出现的一群自愿选择去父留子的女性榜样。 在20来岁的时候，袋鼠看穿了异性恋婚姻之中女性的糟糕境地，她决定：去他的婚姻。 她决定给自己生个孩子，跟自己姓。 就像电影《安东尼娅家族》里安东尼娅的女儿一样，她找到了适合的配子，确保了各项安全，怀上了孩子，顺顺利利、幸运地生下了自己想要的女儿，并得到了妈妈和姐姐们的支持。在这个过程里，她还在妈妈去世之前，重新建立了她们之间被男权分割的联盟。 生下女儿之后，她此前模糊的女权意识，迅速明晰起来。她发现有一个随母姓的女儿有多么“香”，而面对男权社会对女儿无处不在的打压规训，她也发展出了越来越敏感的触角和应对方式。
