Today's Smart Women Talking conversation explores the importance of joy and happiness in our lives and how to intentionally cultivate more of it. Barbara and Polly share their personal experiences and lessons from a retreat in Costa Rica that helped them shift their perspectives on joy and fun.

You will discover the power of micro acts of joy and the impact it can have on emotional well-being.

Learn how to prioritize being intentional about finding joy in everyday life and creating space for it.

We encourage listeners to share what brings you joy on social media using the hashtag #SWT.  We love having you be part of the conversation because your wisdom lifts others.

Welcome to the Season 1 of "Smart Women Talking," the podcast where no topic is too hot to handle, and no wisdom too sacred to share. Join hosts Polly Meyer and Barbara Zuleger as they tear down the facades and get real about living, working, and thriving in today's whirlwind world. From climbing the corporate ladder to juggling diapers and deadlines—everything's on the table.

Tune in for unfiltered conversations with women —each bringing a trunk full of rich, multi-generational wisdom. We’re talking the nitty-gritty of professional life, the chaos and charm of family, the often overlooked joys that buzz beneath our breakneck days, and yes, even those secret sauces that make women so darn effective at what they do.

"Smart Women Talking" isn’t just about swapping stories—it’s about forging connections, listening earnestly, and evolving. As seasoned coaches, we don’t shy away from the tough talks that forge steel spines and soft hearts. We’re here to tackle the pervasive sense of isolation that haunts even the most connected among us, knitting together a community, thread by thoughtful thread.

Each episode arms you with actionable insights and tools for personal and professional triumph. And gentlemen, don’t wander off—there’s gold in here for you too.

Dive into the dialogue—leave comments, lob questions, share your sparks. Your insights fuel our fires and will find their spotlight in future episodes.
