In this episode we’re going to take a close look at the actions, inactions, distractions, decisions, indecision, negative self-talk,perfectionism, imposter syndrome, ALL the stuff – and ask, “WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES”? We’re going to get curious about all of our self-sabotaging ways. Here to help us make sure we don’t turn into self-sabotage hoarders is Kamini Wood , who helps high-achievers heal their relationships with themselves by identifying limiting beliefs and reasons for stagna...
Nov 15, 2023•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’re going to talk about LOVE today, and I think it’s important that I tell you I might be a little jaded. Do I believe in love? YES. Do I want all of us to experience more of it? HELL YES. Do I think love is patient, two become one, it excuses and justifies everything, all decisions should be based on it, and that it needs to be romantic love that results in marriage in order to be considered real love? Absolutely not. Given that I clearly have some energy about the topic, I’ve brought in an e...
Nov 08, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’re going to talk about some of the big compensation myths that might be holding YOU back and share some alternative approaches.

Nov 01, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast You likely know that October is breast cancer awareness month, and I’d be shocked if you don’t have someone you love, whether it’s YOU or a sister, mother, family member, friend, or colleague that has faced it. And like so many things in life, unless you’ve experienced it personally, at a deep and intimate level, it’s hard to know what to do, where to turn, and how to get the help – both medical, and otherwise – you need. It’s also hard for loved ones to know what to do, what to say, and how to ...
Oct 25, 2023•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast What does being motivated look like and feel like FOR YOU? Do you know what your internal motivators are? Your external ones? And for those of you who are leaders, managers, business owners, or parents, do you know what motivates your people!? Are you clear about THEIR internal and external motivators? If you’re not entirely sure, then you’re in for a real treat, because we’re going to talk MOTIVATION! Kate Tracy is the Global Head of Client Partnerships at Varna Group LLC where she helps compan...
Oct 18, 2023•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Let’s talk about YOU being unapologetically BOLD.

A truth teller and transformation instigator, she challenges us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace our full potential. And you know I’m here for all of that. What REA...
Oct 11, 2023•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast On this episode, we’re talking about the benefit of hindsight. Because it’s what’s missing when you’re in a tough patch, feeling confused or in the dark, carrying something that feels too heavy for you to be carrying, unsure of your next steps, or have a heart that hurts. You don’t YET know how this will work for good, how this will impact your life, how, when, or in what ways whatever struggle you’re in will have you grow, will shape you into someone better… but you get to trust that it will. B...
Oct 04, 2023•21 min•Transcript available on Metacast There are many reasons I love living life from a values first approach – first, it’s something I can connect to on a daily basis. It helps me make decisions, reminds me who I want to be and how I want to show up, provides clarity if someone or something is the right fit for me or vice versa, and I see my values as the roots from which confidence grows. So on this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, we’re going to get YOU connected to YOUR values! Laura Eigel , founder of The Catch Group , a leaders...
Sep 27, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Our topic today is CELL CARE which is a different but supporting approach to self-care. And sure, I know a few things about self-care, lifestyle rituals, and intentional living, but don’t have the first sweet clue about CELL care. I’m excited to learn and hope you are too! Dr. Monisha Bhanote , combines ancient wisdom with mind-body science to naturally bio-hack the human body through her expertise as a cytopathologist, functional culinary medicine specialist, and integrative medicine doctor.

Sep 20, 2023•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Whether you’re a full-time Mom where your job is inside the home, or a Mom who has an additional full or part time job outside the home, YOU HAVE A JOB. That job has REAL value. And we should start thinking about it like that. (Side note: I also believe that being a Dad is a job and more people should treat it as such, and dad expectations should be as high as mom expectations, but we’re talking about Moms here today.) I’ve invited Ashley Quinto Powell to join me to talk about this concept of Mo...
Sep 13, 2023•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’re going to do something a little different on this episode, and play affirmation roulette with none other than Kirsten Ferguson . Because, let's be real. What we say to ourselves, about ourselves MATTERS. We all spend the bulk of our time, the majority of our LIVES, inside our own mind… we really ought to make it a nice place to be. After seven years of working with the NFL, Kirsten made the decision to shift her focus to family. Her journey to motherhood was not easy, and fitness helped...
Sep 06, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast Jessica has this to say about emotional eating: “Overeating is a REJECTION of Self. It is a moment of self-betrayal. In order to truly heal your relationship with food, you must address the fundamental disloyalty towards yourself.” UGH. I WISH I would have heard THAT earlier in my life. While I don’t fall into the emotional eating trap as often as I used to, it’s something I still need to be mindful of, especially when I’m stressed, hurt or angry. Because loyalty to myself is at the top of my pr...
Aug 30, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast Women’s right to choose has been in question throughout history… getting to choose who and if you marry, what you wear, what’s appropriate and not, whether or not you can work, what you can do for a living, the right to open your own bank account, to vote, to consent, and if and when you give birth. I am very aware I’m going to piss some people off, and this is too big, too important for me to worry about that. We’re going to talk about the necessity of women’s right to CHOOSE. I’ve invited Jacq...
Aug 23, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast On this episode of TIWW, we’re going to talk about ditching your inner “good girl” as well as some other uncomfortable truths that are holding us back from truly winning in life. Here to help us do that is Renee Bauer , Founder and Managing Attorney of “Happy Even After” Family Law, an international speaker, and author of 5 books, including her new book that’s about to be released and is already a bestseller “She Who Wins” (described as an ANTI-rule book, which you know I love). She hosts the Sh...
Aug 16, 2023•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today we release the 150th episode of This Is Woman’s Work so it feels like a great time to THANK YOU for listening, for sharing, for rating and reviewing, and for joining us as we redefine woman’s work, together. In this mini episode (because who has extra time?!) you’ll hear me: Vent about all the reasons I am not a fan of summer Do one of my not so favorite things to do: ask for help BOOP - you’ll have to listen in to know what the actual f#@! I’m talking about There are so many things that m...
Aug 09, 2023•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast Most of us have not only NOT been taught the skills to communicate well, we’ve been taught the opposite. We’ve probably observed more examples of INeffective communication than anything. Think about it for a second… were your parents good examples of this? Your first love? Your first boss? I’m gonna take a stab in the dark, and guess the answer for most of us is a hard NO. I am Nicole Kalil, and you can put this episode of TIWW under the category of “shit we should have learned, but didn’t and n...
Aug 02, 2023•35 min•Transcript available on Metacast You know how I feel about one-size-fits-all solutions to anything , and the health and wellness industry is no exception. So when we cover topics like todays, I’m always careful to bring people on who will share what they’ve learned, what they know to be true, their expertise BUT ALSO say that YOU need to figure out what’s right, best, and true for you. Said another way, they offer solutions, just not the one-size fits all kind. With that in mind, let me introduce you to our guest. Andrea Nakaya...
Jul 26, 2023•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast When under stress, overwhelmed, or feeling burnt out, it is incredible how quickly many of us default back to perfectionism and people-pleasing and abandon ourselves. On this episode of TIWW, we’re going to talk about how to advocate for YOUR needs… first to yourself and then to others. I’m joined by Mara Glatzel , author, intuitive coach, and host of the “Needy” podcast. Mara helps humans stop abandoning themselves and start reclaiming their humanity through embracing their needs. Because you’r...
Jul 19, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast I know being happy every minute of every day isn’t an option, but I do wish I saw more women experiencing it regularly. I wish women allowed themselves to choose happiness FAR more frequently without feeling guilty or selfish. So let’s talk about how we might do that. Joining me is Zenica Chatman , who after experiencing workplace trauma, went on a path to redefine her own self-worth and what it means to be happy and successful. Now as a certified coach, she’s helped many other women do the same...
Jul 12, 2023•19 min•Transcript available on Metacast I admire SO MUCH when I see people deal with difficult personalities, big egos, or people who’ve done major harm and they somehow manage to stay cool, calm, and collected. Being able to have a productive conversation with someone who makes your blood boil is a true superpower. Which is why I’ve invited Alicia Dunams , speaker, coach, certified mediator, peacemaker and author of the book, How to Talk to Your Enemies to the show. She shares specific words, phrases, and approaches to start dialogue...
Jul 05, 2023•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast On this very special episode, guest host Lynn Casaletto takes over the mic and not only interviews Nicole, but also her partner in life, Jay Kalil! They talk about everything from how they make their marriage work (and some things they do to get back on track when it’s not working), pet peeves, parenting, planning, and more! Questions were collected from Nicole’s community, and Lynn dished them out… listen in to hear their responses and perspectives. Partnership can be hard, especially when two ...
Jun 28, 2023•45 min•Transcript available on Metacast I wonder if we added up ALL the minutes we’ve wasted standing in front of our closets thinking “I have nothing to wear” and all the time we’ve spent trying on 17 different outfits (only to walk out wearing the one we hate the least), how much time we’d have? Enough to learn a new language? An extra 2 weeks vacation every year? So my friends, let's give you back the greatest commodities you have: your TIME and your sanity. I’ve invited Ellie Steinbrink , Expert Stylist, Personal Brand Coach, ...
Jun 21, 2023•34 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ve been knocked down more times than I care to count, and the only thing I can tell you with any kind of certainty is that I’ve gotten UP at least one more time than I’ve been knocked down. I believe that’s true for you too. Because you’re here. On this episode of TIWW we’re going to talk about getting BACK into action after a setback. Because I know TWO THINGS FOR SURE, from every conversation I’ve had and every woman I’ve interacted with (even the ones with all the followers, even the bestse...
Jun 14, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Our topic is about taking risks, but I didn’t want to cover it with one of those “mer-women” (like mermaids, but with independence) who has done it all, unafraid, and made it look effortless. I wanted to talk about it with someone who I know would be REAL. Real women taking real risks, big and small, with REAL feelings about it. So, without further delay, let me introduce my new friend Liz Deacle . Liz, is a British expat currently living in New Zealand with her family. Liz and her husband embar...
Jun 07, 2023•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast I value the intention behind Work/Life Balance, which is that work isn’t supposed to consume our entire lives. But the “balance” part is confusing for many, and it always hits me funny that it implies that we leave our lives when we go to work. As someone who loves their career, I’d say my work is very much a part of my LIFE. I’ve invited our guest, Dr. Sohee Jun , to join me to talk about how to succeed, as women, at LIFE, which of course, includes our work. As a top leadership coach, keynote s...
May 31, 2023•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today we’re going to talk about the ONE thing, the one piece of advice, that I might be able to universally get behind (you know how I hate one-size-fits all solutions). You’re probably thinking we’re going to talk about confidence. Not a bad guess, because I do believe we could ALL benefit from more of it, but I don’t think anyone can give a one size fits all solution to it, including me. Our topic today is being WELL-RESTED. Every Day. Jolene Hart is a health coach certified by the Institute f...
May 24, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast How can we BOTH resolve conflict AND defuse tension? That’s the million dollar question we’re addressing on this episode. And since I don’t have the million dollar answer, I’m joined by Hesha Abrams , internationally acclaimed master attorney mediator, who has the unique talent of being able to manage big egos and strong personalities, and a keen ability to create synergy amongst the most diverse personality types, driving them toward agreement. Holy shit, now THAT’s a superpower. Hesha has reso...
May 17, 2023•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you’re tuning into this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, I’m guessing it’s EITHER because you listened to last week and CAN’T WAIT to hear the rest of this amazing conversation, or you happened to stumble upon our show. If that’s the case, I’d like to encourage you to go back to last week's episode, because this is Part 2 of a two-part episode on the patterns, approaches, and ways that women ARE NOT supporting women. And let me tell you, this conversation goes down as one of my all time f...
May 10, 2023•34 min•Transcript available on Metacast I often challenge men to be open, curious, to truly LISTEN, to not be so defensive… and now it’s our turn. Friends, buckle up, because we’re going full throttle on the bullshit that WOMEN do. The second I met Caroline Adams Miller , I just KNEW she needed to be our guest for this conversation. Caroline is a well-respected expert, whose scientific approach to change fosters lasting success in organizations and individuals. She has a Masters of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pe...
May 03, 2023•34 min•Transcript available on Metacast What are some of the popular approaches to success that you’re feeling pressured to do, but just don’t feel right to you? Success for me isn’t about rigidity, adding more shit to my plate, or even mental toughness and these one size fits all approaches is just another thing that’s saying you must be perfect (no cheats, no misses, no exceptions), and that the way to become confident and all the things you want is thru achievement. I call bullshit. And on today's episode I walk through some ex...
