What if curiosity isn’t just a personality trait? In fact, it could be the compass that points us toward who we’re meant to become.

In this special 5-year, podversary episode of "Women With Cool Jobs," my amazing friend and award-winning musician and filmmaker, Jillian Speece, joins me for a  deeply personal conversation about how this podcast came to life...and how curiosity has acted as an unexpected guide along the way.

Inside this celebratory episode, Julie and Jillian explore:

•  How curiosity undeniably ties every woman featured on the show together  —  from smokejumper and cheesemonger to 3-D printing scientist, lipstick artist, general contractor, and butter maker
•  The argument for “doing it scared,” and why some of the most important leaps in life feel the most terrifying
•  Visibility, vulnerability, and courage to let go of being liked and allowing yourself to be seen 
•  Why curiosity makes us better humans and why we don't have to all agree to navigate differences with grace, compassion, and genuine interest

What began as a spark of curiosity and a leap into the unknown turned into 5 years of celebrating remarkable women doing the work that lights them up. 

Thank you to all the incredible, inspiring women who have been guests during these past 5 years. I am so, so grateful!
