I met Nikki through LinkedIn a few months ago. Since then, she has become a role model and an advocate for not only myself, but many other women in the aerospace industry. In this episode, I sit down with Nikki to discuss her role at the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance, love languages, and what it means to take opportunities and pay them forward.

Nikki Malcom is the CEO & Executive Director.  She has been in the aerospace industry for 22 years in various roles in materials distribution, testing, and most recently manufacturing after starting a business during the pandemic.  After serving on the board for 5 years, she has accepted the executive position with PNAA.  Driven by her love of all things aerospace, she is dedicated to helping the aerospace industry thrive.  She has a bachelor’s degree in sales management and lives south of Seattle with her husband of 19 years.

It's time for me to get BACK on my soapbox. Networking is the BEST thing you can do for yourself - personally and professionally. You NEVER know when your next dream opportunity will present itself, or WHO will offer you that opportunity!

As an introvert myself, I know how hard it can be to physically go through the work of networking. Being around a ton of people, especially people I don't know, is physically DRAINING. So I've put together some tips on how to network as an introvert - WITHOUT losing your energy or yourself in the process. And quite frankly, these tips probably apply to extroverts too! The more tips and tricks in your back pocket, the easier building your connections will be.

This episode is straight from my heart. This is my current state. OVERWHELMED.

In today's episode, I share some tips on how to cope with being overwhelmed - either personally or professionally. Or in my case, BOTH. 

I share some HUGE life changes for me, and what that means for the show. 

Just know YOU are NOT perfect. No one is. And when you hit a tough season, you ALWAYS have a tribe of people to reach out to.

This is Part TWO of my chat with acoustic engineer, Emily Wigley. If you haven't checked out Part ONE, I highly suggest you listen to that before diving into this one! You can find Part One HERE.

I got to sit down with Emily Wigley, an acoustic engineer with a varied career in a SUPER interesting industry. Emily enthusiasm for her work is contagious, and I get caught up in the nerdiness of it all! She also shares some personal life lessons that have served her well - in the hopes that other listeners take heed.

Emily is SO easy to talk to, and she and I talked for almost TWO HOURS. So I've broken up our discussion into two episodes! Stay tuned for next week when I release PART TWO!

Dropping a BONUS EPISODE today as I wanted to share some thoughts on the direction of where the podcast is going. As I try to balance my day job, my 29029 training, my relationships, and this podcast, I've realized that I need to put quality over quantity. So I've decided to pull back to one episode a week for a while.

In this episode, I share what is going on in my life at the moment, and some changes I'll be making to the format of the podcast. Don't worry! This will make content BETTER, episodes more thought out, and interviews better edited.

Sometimes in order to fit everything in, we need to shuffle around priorities - are you at a season in your life where something's got to give? Let me know!

YOU GUYS. I about JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR when Faryl agreed to come on the show! I found Faryl through LinkedIn and immediately felt a connection with her content and her message. I have the privilege of chatting with her about her opinion on today's trend of calling female leaders "boss babes" and "She-E-Os". We also discuss the ripple effect, and how we need to demand more equity in the workplace, and in life - for both men and women.

Faryl is committed to empowering all women by designing impactful footwear and changing the world through inclusivity & sustainability initiatives. She believes all women should have access to footwear that makes them feel confident & beautiful and works every day to ensure this is a reality. She has been a leader in the footwear industry for over 20 years.
