Additionally, she's a Sr. Science Consultant for Gender Intelligence Group. She’s spent her entire professional career working and teaching in one of the busiest emergency departments in the Northeast. When she’s not working in Emergency Medicine, she’s digging into all the ways in which biological sex and gender influence our brains and our bodies. She is a woman who deep dives into cutting edge research across different spectrums of science and culture to understand the different responses that men and women have to things like illness, trauma, toxins, and even therapies.

We're going to talk about strategically navigating your career, balancing what excites you with what your organization truly needs, and walking that tightrope between boredom and overwhelm. Additionally, we dig into the topic of sex and gender - a bit of a Sex & Gender Bootcamp. We also geek out over data and eliminating the “anxiety fuzz.” Note: Some topics we discuss may be little more controversial than others. Please know that any of Dr Wolfe's opinions in this show are her own and not affiliated with Baystate Health. An overarching takeaway from this podcast with Dr. Wolfe was: Everyone is learning. Always. In this episode, we were able to have a conversation about a controversial topic and live to tell about it. Starting with the basics can be pretty powerful.

Carla has spent the past decade working in New York’s non-profit sector. Since earning her Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University, she has collaborated with a diverse array of start-up organizations to create solid institutional foundations to support their structural growth. Her work has proven instrumental in the advancement and evolution of multiple organizations, such as OneVoice, Columbia University’s Genocide Prevention Program, Qualitas of Life Foundation, and Awake Youth Project, to name a few. Her generous spirit continues as the founder of Be Time Practice, where she is offering a vehicle (both figuratively and literally) towards peace and well-being for as many humans as possible.

Today, Carla is going to share how she transformed a “cute” idea for a bus into a business. Plus, she talks about persistence - how she kept going knowing her idea could potentially fail. She talks openly about how she continued to try everything in her power to make her dream into a reality. Of course, we talk about meditation - the benefits of meditation, how Carla likes to think of meditation as eating your mental veggies, and how Be Time Practice gets people excited to try meditation. It wouldn’t be a podcast for Type-A women if we didn’t talk about Type-A recovery, too. Buckle up, this episode is rich in ideas.

Join me in welcoming the women in this here virtual roundtable: Minda Harts, Erin Barra, Rachel Citron, Dara Kass, Kelly Lyndgaard, Kara Rota, and Patti Wilson. (You can find their cred, links, and news in the Resources section below). I want to acknowledge Minda Harts for inspiring and opening this episode with me. All of these amazing women span different industries and are at different stages of their careers. They’ve mentored, been mentored, and/or sponsored along the way. So, that, friends, is what we’re covering – mentorship and sponsorship.

Perhaps you want to launch a business, grow in your current role, find a new job, or begin a new passion project. Whatever it is you’re considering, it’s your relationships with others that can help you achieve any of these things.

Another surprise! There are not one, but two, episodes this week as part of this special, year-end Mentor Sponsor Mashup. It’s broken up into two parts because everyone had so much to share. When producer Craig and I sat down with the raw conversations, it clocked in at nearly 6 hours! We worked really hard to distill it down into something empowering, yet manageable.

Here’s what to expect from each episode:

• Part 1 focuses on my guests’ own experiences around mentorship and sponsorship. We also discuss the differences between these two types of professional relationships.
• Part 2 goes deeper into mentorship and gets more strategic about how to create a successful mentor or sponsor relationship. We get more practical. We hear how some of the guests have navigated around or bounced back from some awkward moments.

Whether you’re considering mentorship (as a mentor or mentee) or sponsorship in the immediate future or not, Minda, Erin, Rachel, Dara, Kelly, Kara, and Patti offer up a ton of collective insight and wisdom. All of which can be applied across other facets of business and life. After all, mentorship and sponsorship are about connection and support. Who couldn’t use a little more of that, right?

It’s hard to imagine not having to navigate burnout at Maé’s level of competition. Here is a quick rundown of just some of Maé’s accomplishments: She is 2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial Champion, the 2016 International Cup of Nice Champion, the 2015 Winter Universiade Silver Medalist, and a four-time French National Champion. During the 2018, Sochi Olympics she skated to Beyonce's "Run the World (Girls).” Yes, yes, and more yes!  

You may be thinking, “Come on Kara, here we go again with the buzzword, ‘burnout.’” Yet, burnout is real. In this episode, you’ll hear firsthand how an Olympic figure skater handles burnout (and how I do too). We talk about the REAL burnout. The kind of burnout that leaves you debilitated, feeling depressed, and anxious - something that we have to climb out of and push ourselves forward to thrive or, sometimes, do what we’ve got to do to survive.

Maé shares some of things that worked for her and what she thought about her experience with burnout all so we can learn from her perspective. We also talk about how women can get closer to being in the flow state, especially in high pressure situations.

Here is a fun behind-the-scenes fact: I record this podcast in a shitty, faux wood-paneled, 1957 sewing room. So, I was admittedly a little intimidated by Veronica. Her company specializes in wellness architecture - the art and science behind designing built environments that enhance human health and well-being. Veronica has practiced architecture, speaks, and leads think tanks all over the world. She is doing amazing work. 

We’ll, of course, learn more about what wellness architecture is and how Veronica is helping clients improve their lifestyle through wellness builds. She also brings awareness to how our surroundings have an impact on us. Did you know that even the sound and smell of a building can affect our physiology and psychology? It’s a fabulously interesting concept and and eye-opening conversation. 

We also have a deep discussion about running too fast and how to purposefully slow down. Veronica shares some of her own self-care practices. Finally, we talk A LOT about habits - shifting habits, changing habits, and yes, even the unhealthy habits. The struggle is real, so let’s be honest, right?

Hopefully, this episode is a reminder to you, as Veronica so eloquently said, to, “Start surrounding yourself with something that can empower you to live the purpose-driven life you were designed to live.“

Kate is also a caring wife, a nurturing mom of three adorable boys, and is a speaking/writing/inspirational force for good in our global community.

Buckle up, folks! We cover a lot of ground, or in this case, shall we say airspace? We talk about owning your personal space and exhibiting grace under duress, navigating ultimatums in a “man’s workplace”, and the importance of making and taking quiet time. Plus, we explore the depth of a mother’s love, talk about acceptance, and Kate shares poignantly how she is consciously leaving her footprints in the sands of time. So. Much. Awesome. All packed into one episode. 

There are times I meet people in this world when I can literally feel the sphere of energy around them. Kate is one of these people. She's tirelessly inspiring, working to connect her Air Traffic Controlling sisters, young girls, and pretty much any woman who crosses her path. We are like-minded sisters, who also deeply believes that we have so much more in common and how interconnected we all truly are. Dive into this episode by clicking the links below.

Megan deeply believes that business can be a force for good and that good design fosters a more resilient future. In this episode, you’ll hear all about the work Megan is doing at New York Heartwoods and learn more about her philosophy on doing good work and being resourceful. We chat about making beautiful things by hand with love, gender issues at work, and honoring the feminine while doing business. We consider how we value ourselves in relation to others. We tackle a lot in what felt like such a short time! 

A special note, this episode is rather unique because it was recorded live in what Megan and I referred to in this episode as “the makeout booth” at Radio Kingston. (We were practically sitting in each other’s lap!) Because it was recorded live, anything can happen; and it did. At one point, we were joined by a very agitated commercial washing machine in the adjacent laundromat.

Washer machine aside, we had an immersive and special conversation about feminine energy, being of service, and other stuff that really matters.

Zuzu is an Austin-based new contemporary artist with an insatiable appetite for street art, yoga, and self-exploration. Some of her commercial work has intersected with companies like Neiman Marcus, Bud Light, Nordstrom, Red Bull, South by Southwest, The X Games, the Wanderlust Festival and more.  

Zuzu continually seeks ways to positively  impact others through nearly everything she does, which comes through loud and clear in this episode and in vibrant color the rest of the time. There is so much to learn through this conversation with Zuzu. We touched on how she keeps her head in the game, leveling up as a paid, working artist, navigating her definition of self-worth, and finding her place on the planet. Like all of Zuzu’s work, I hope this episode leaves you full with insight and inspiration. Because, as we talk about in this episode: “You are f*#&ing awesome.”* We all need to be lifting each other up.
