Lisa Kalmin and Lynne Sheridan are both repeat guests on the podcast, and transformational leaders who have impacted hundreds of thousands of people, including me. I’ve asked them to join me to talk about the evolution of woman's work, and the challenges and opportunities of being a woman today. Inside you there lives an inner knowing that you have purpose, you have value, you are worthy simply because you exist. Who are you? What are you here to be? Give of your talents, your unique abilities, ...
Sep 07, 2022•35 min•Transcript available on Metacast You’re always selling something... your product, your vision, your services, your value. And let’s face it, people with far less talent and care than you, are winning opportunities because they are better at selling. This is a skill I’ve both taught and avoided, done well and absolutely sucked at. Because I know it’s not just me, I’ve asked Nicole Cramer - sales coach, speaker, CEO and Exactly What To Say official certified guide to join me on the podcast. Nicole specializes in high touch relati...
Aug 31, 2022•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast In an ever changing world with increasing access to better technology, resources and people than in any other time in history, it’s amazing to me how many organizations and leaders refuse to test out new ways of allowing their teams to work. Despite the evidence that flexible work environments, schedules and trusting your people is profitable, organizations are still trying to force their team back to pre-covid work environments. On today’s episode I welcome Lona Alia - she is an expert on build...
Aug 24, 2022•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast “We expect women to work like they don’t have children, and raise children like they don’t work.” As a mom, this hits me so hard. How much longer are women going to be willing to carry this invisible load? And did you know it’s not just happening at home, but at work too?! Here today to have this incredibly important conversation is Kelli Thompson - Leadership Coach and Speaker, who helps women advance to the rooms where decisions are made. We are kindred spirits in that we both have books about...
Aug 17, 2022•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today, we celebrate ONE HUNDRED episodes of This Is Woman’s Work! Please imagine confetti dropping, cheese plates passing and air horns blowing…because we are that excited! Back in 2020 (right before that year’s biggest plot twist aka Covid), I launched my podcast with the goal of redefining what it looks and feels like to be doing “woman’s work” in life, at work, and even within ourselves. But I never thought it would have a much bigger impact on me. On today’s episode I reflect on this flawsom...
Aug 03, 2022•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Our topic today is a heavy one, but it needs to be talked about because so many of us are experiencing it personally, collectively and globally. I often say that ‘I don’t know what to do with all these emotions’... all this anger, sadness, frustration, and the many, many other feelings. I’m not very good at grieving. Because I’ve never been taught how to. Here to help us learn to grieve is Marisa Renee Lee - Grief Advocate, Author of the book Grief Is Love, and the friend we all wish we had in t...
Jul 27, 2022•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today we are going to talk about romantic love. And not just the good parts. Because let’s be honest, there aren't many other areas of our lives that can spin us into fear, doubt and insecurity faster than a romantic relationship can, or even the desire for one. Here to help us navigate through this is Nicole Moore - CEO and Founder of Love Works Method. A celebrity and relationship coach, television host and show creator, Nicole has helped thousands of celebrities, reality stars, influencers, C...
Jul 20, 2022•36 min•Transcript available on Metacast Many of us have been socialized to believe that our worth and our value is tied up in whether or not we get married. In our quest to get our ‘happily ever afters’, and in our attempt to live up to societal expectations, we often ignore the red flags, and because of this far too many women (and men) find themselves in unfulfilling marriages. So what do you do? How do you know when to keep fighting for the marriage or when to start fighting for the opportunity for something better? And if you make...
Jul 13, 2022•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast I am willing to bet that every one of you has an idea for a product, a service or a business…maybe even multiple ideas. The problem is so many of us talk ourselves out of our own million dollar idea not knowing where to start. But not my guests today. On today’s episode you are going to get to hear from two co-founders (who also happen to be twin sisters) who just launched their first product. And I’m willing to bet it is a million dollar idea. Taylor and Casey Capuano founded CAKES body , a com...
Jul 06, 2022•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast So many of us feel like we're inundated with ‘should’s, ‘supposed to’s, unsolicited advice, expectations and general pressure to do it all while making it look effortless. In the face of all of that noise, you’ll hear today from one of my bucket list guests, how to learn to listen to your self again. I’m THRILLED to welcome Jenna Kutcher as my guest today. If you have somehow managed to make it through life up to this point without knowing who she is, Jenna is a Minnesota wife, mother and entrep...
Jun 29, 2022•20 min•Transcript available on Metacast As a business owner I have to make some tough decisions where there is no way to be absolutely sure if I’m making the right one when I’m making it. This can lead to over-thinking, increased stress, and even looking for signs or someone who can just tell me what to do… because like so many people, I don’t love uncertainty. On today’s episode I share about a dilemma that I’ve been working through the last few months (if I’m being honest the last few years) around social media. I open up about my d...
Jun 20, 2022•16 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ll be honest that I generally find the idea of women calling themselves “queen” a little cheezy. But I love it when someone comes along and changes my mind! On today’s show I’ve invited the incomparable Gina DeVee to be my guest. Gina is the founder of Divine Living, a global lifestyle and empowerment brand for women, a speaker, transformational coach, host of the “Divine Living” podcast, and author of “The Audacity to be Queen.” Gina shares with us how to release all forms of self-doubt and s...
Jun 15, 2022•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work , we are going to explore a topic I know many of you are overthinking: making a career decision or transition. Making what my guest calls a YOU turn. I’ve invited Ashley Stahl, a counterterrorism professional turned career coach to join us today. Ashley is the bestselling author of the book You Turn: Get Unstuck, Discover Your Direction, Design your Dream Career. You probably have already heard of her from her two viral TEDx talks, or from her show “The Yo...
Jun 08, 2022•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work , I share my response to the question “why must you use the f word so much?” Yes, someone actually asked me that. You bet your a$s I had an answer. But before I share my answer, I have a little fun exploring what cursing means, my boundaries around using it and when I think it’s appropriate and when it’s not…for me. Because I am the decider of what words come out of my mouth, as are you. My intention in cursing is never to demean or disrespect or even for ...
Jun 01, 2022•9 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you are a self-doubting mom who would love nothing more than to feel confident as a parent, you are not alone, and this episode is for you.

May 25, 2022•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today I welcome two incredible women to join me as we explore justice for women, which must include the racial reckoning that’s underway locally, nationally and globally.

May 18, 2022•35 min•Transcript available on Metacast Mindset and the way we talk to ourselves matters. And while I’m sure we’d all agree that having a healthy, empowered and productive conversation with ourselves would be important, let’s be honest, this concept falls under the category of easier said than done. Here’s the good news about mindset, we can replace our negative thoughts with something better anytime we want…we just need to practice. To help us do that, I’ve asked Paola Rosser, CEO and Founder of The Fearless Female Movement, and host...
May 11, 2022•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Why are we so obsessed with doing it all? It seems like there’s not a problem that we don’t try to solve with some version of “do more”. We are inundated with messages that hard work creates success and that we’re supposed to grind, and have grit, pay the price, be disciplined and get shit done. I’m tired. Or maybe I’m just old and cranky. But either way I'm going to share in this episode of This Is Woman’s Work how both myself and the women I coach have achieved our greatest success by doing le...
May 03, 2022•16 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s financial literacy month, so one of the things we must talk about when it comes to feeling and being empowered as women, is money.

Apr 20, 2022•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’m excited to share that we are doing something that we very rarely do on the podcast. We are having a repeat guest! Because we got so many questions about what Stefani Adler calls our feminine flow, I’ve invited her back to dig deeper, and share more insights and examples of cycle syncing and what it means to make lifestyle choices according to the phases of our cycle. If you haven’t yet listened to episode 74 , I’d encourage you to do that because we’re going to jump right in. It’s time to re...
Apr 06, 2022•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast I never would have thought in a million years that I’d be doing an episode with Kim Kardashian at the forefront, but here we are. “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.” - Kim Kardashian What was your reaction when you heard this? How did it make you feel? In today’s episode I share my reaction to her recent “advice”, but I also wanted to explore this from a completely different angle, and use it to discuss ...
Mar 30, 2022•13 min•Transcript available on Metacast Is ambition a good or a bad thing? Is it a dirty or a powerful word? I guess the answer depends on how you define it, as well as your experience with it personally. What does being ambitious mean to you? If you think of it as wanting to be successful, powerful, or famous at all costs while sacrificing everyone and everything to get there, I can see how ambition would be unattractive to many people. If you define it as a desire to achieve a meaningful goal, well that might make it more attractive...
Mar 16, 2022•14 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ve become convinced that fear has gotten a bad rap. What if fear is not the enemy? What if fear is just misunderstood, and if you actually spent some time with it and got to know it a little better, you’d actually discover that fear is your friend? In today’s episode of This Is Woman’s Work, I’m going to ask you to be open to setting aside everything you’ve heard and think you know about fear, so that you can begin to access the possibilities and opportunities that embracing fear creates for y...
Mar 02, 2022•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Has the glass ceiling been shattered? Well, with only 8% women CEOs in the Fortune 500, approximately 25% women holding the 5 most critical C-suite positions in the thousand largest corporations, and zero women presidents in our nation's 245 year old history…I’d say there’s cracks, but no shattering quite yet. In today’s episode of “This Is Woman’s Work”, Colleen Ammerman - Director of the Harvard Business School Gender Initiative, a researcher with Life and Leadership After HBS, a study of the ...
Feb 16, 2022•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast What if some villains are put in your life for a reason? What if they are put there as an opportunity for you to overcome them? So that you can be the superhero of your own story. Our guest today literally wrote a book on it. Heather Monahan is a best-selling author of her recently released book titled Overcome Your Villains.

Feb 02, 2022•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Who do you serve? Who gets to experience, learn and benefit from YOUR unique gifts and abilities? While there’s no one RIGHT answer to this question, I can tell you there is one WRONG answer. And that wrong answer is… everyone. You cannot please, support, help or appeal to every single person. Here to help us think through these crucial questions is Julie Foucht. Julie coaches women on the art of feminine business, so that they can build their uber profitable businesses while honoring themselves...
Jan 19, 2022•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast In today’s episode we are going to talk about how you can build and execute on a plan of action. I’m sharing a process and a practice that I’ve created by combining what I’ve experienced from business planning, financial planning, and that family planning process that Jay and I use, and what I know to be true about confidence building. There are mountains of statistics and evidence that support that planning does work, but we often don’t make the time for it in our lives. There already exists a ...

Dec 22, 2021•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast I was introduced to the term “the messy middle” at a retreat I attended recently, and it was like a light bulb went off in my brain. That’s EXACTLY where I am. That place in between knowing where I am, and where I want to go… that feels unclear, and is plagued with ups and downs, fits and starts, several steps forward and then a few backward. While 2021 was about me finding clarity on where I am heading, I’m not totally sure how to get there yet. I know it’s going to require more risk, more work...
Dec 08, 2021•14 min•Transcript available on Metacast So much is changing in how, when and where we work and do business, and the leaders that stay committed to the way things have always been done are on the fast track to irrelevance. So what are the leadership skills of tomorrow? How important is the ability to build and lead inclusive teams? Here to discuss these questions and so much more is Dr. Stefanie Johnson - Associate Professor at the Lead School of Business at CU Boulder, who’s received several millions in grant funding to study leadersh...
