July 22Stop Waiting For Permission: Did You Know You Can Just Do Things? with Cate Hall | 424
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of confidence, credentials, experience, or readiness? What if it's the invisible rules you've been following without ever questioning them?
In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole sits down with Cate Hall—former Supreme Court attorney, former #1 ranked female poker player in the world, biotech founder, former CEO of the Astera Institute, and author of You Can Just Do Things: How High Agency People Get What They Want Out of Life. Together, they unpack the concept of high agency, why successful people aren't waiting for permission, and how fear of rejection, failure, and embarrassment may be keeping you stuck.
In This Episode We Discuss:
What it means to be a high agency person

Why most of the "rules" we follow are actually invisible agreements

The art of getting what you don't deserve—and why that's a good thing

How fear of rejection limits personal and professional growth… and why rejection is a necessary part of success

Practical ways to build rejection tolerance

The connection between identity and personal transformation

How strengths can become weaknesses when taken too far

The "moat of low status" and why people avoid being beginners

Why women often struggle with looking inexperienced—and how to overcome it
Cate's message is simple but powerful: you don't need more permission, more credentials, or more certainty. Sometimes, you just need to do the thing.

July 20CLASSIC EPISODE: What Does a Woman Have to Do to Be Believed? Sexual Assault, Accountability & Double Standards with E. Jean Carrol
When a powerful man says, “She’s not my type,” and a jury (actually, multiple juries) finds that man liable for sexual abuse and defamation, that’s not just a headline — that’s a masterclass in what it takes for a woman to be believed in America.
In this episode, writer, journalist, and Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President author E. Jean Carroll joins Nicole to talk about truth, power, paperclips, and what actually happens when you drag a president into court and win. Twice.
We talk about the facts, the stories we build around those facts, and why so many people will twist themselves into a pretzel to excuse powerful men while shredding women who speak up.
We get into:
What actually happened in court — beyond the headlines, hot takes, and Twitter warriors

How clothes became her armor and why what she wore in court mattered more than you’d think

The “not my type” moment, the infamous deposition photo, and how Trump accidentally proved his own lie

Why her sexual history was dragged into the trial — and how she took back that narrative with joy

Trauma responses, laughter in the dressing room, and why “if you didn’t scream it doesn’t count” is garbage

How mock juries forced her legal team to reckon with ageism, beauty standards, and who we think is “believable”

What she plans to do with the tens of millions awarded in damages — and why giving it away is part of her resistance strategy

The big questions this case raises: What does a woman have to do to be believed? And what does a powerful man have to do to be held accountable?
Because this isn’t just E. Jean Carroll’s story. It’s a mirror held up to how we treat women, power, and truth — and a reminder that one 80-something woman can still change the story for all of us.

July 15The Surprising History of Picky Eating & Raising Adventurous Eaters with Helen Zoe Veit | 423
For generations, parents have been told that picky eating is normal, inevitable, and just part of raising kids. But what if that's not true? What if picky eating is actually a modern phenomenon—and one we've unintentionally created?
In this episode, Nicole sits down with historian, professor, and author Helen Zoe Veit to explore the surprising history behind children's eating habits. Drawing from her book Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History, Helen reveals how kids once ate everything from bitter greens to spicy foods and why modern parenting, nutrition advice, convenience foods, and fear-based messaging may have changed that. Together, they unpack what parents can learn from history, how to build curiosity around food, and why confidence—not control—may be the missing ingredient at the dinner table.
In This Episode We Discuss:
Why picky eating is a relatively recent phenomenon in American history

How children in the 19th century developed adventurous palates

The role of nutrition science in changing children's diets

Why modern parents feel so much pressure around food and feeding

The difference between food neophobia and true picky eating

How repeated exposure helps children learn to enjoy new foods

Why separate "kids' meals" may be contributing to the problem

The impact of snacks, convenience foods, and ultra-processed foods

How confidence and consistency can transform family mealtimes

The connection between food, curiosity, joy, and lifelong health
This conversation is a powerful reminder that children may be capable of far more than we give them credit for—and that curiosity, resilience, and openness can all be nurtured one bite at a time.

July 13CLASSIC EPISODE: FACTS About Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids with Alyssa Blask Campbell M.Ed
Here’s the truth: Raising emotionally intelligent kids isn’t about making sure they say “please” and “thank you.” It’s about raising little humans who can actually handle big feelings, express themselves without melting down (well, most of the time), and build relationships that don’t implode at the first sign of conflict.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the underrated superpower that will serve your kids long after they’ve forgotten their multiplication tables. From playground drama to career success to healthy adult relationships, EQ is the thread that ties it all together. And while it doesn’t come with a manual (seriously, why don’t hospitals hand that out with the newborn onesie?), there are some universal truths every parent needs to know.
To help us break it down, we’re joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell. With years of experience teaching parents and kids how to build emotional awareness, resilience, and connection, Alyssa has made it her mission to help families thrive from the inside out. In this conversation, she shares practical strategies, science-backed insights, and the FACTS about what it really takes to raise kids who can navigate their emotions (instead of being ruled by them).
Because let’s be honest: you don’t just want your kids to be successful — you want them to be good humans. And that starts with emotional intelligence.

July 08Panoramic Leadership: How Great Leaders Expand Their Perspective in Times of Change with Cornelia Choe | 422
Leadership has never been more challenging—or more important. In a world defined by constant disruption, AI, economic uncertainty, global conflict, and nonstop change, the old leadership playbook is showing its age. The leaders who thrive today aren’t the ones with all the answers. They’re the ones willing to ask better questions, challenge their assumptions, and expand their perspective.
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Cornelia Choe, international leadership expert, CEO of Leaders Alliance, and co-author of The Panoramic Leader with Marshall Goldsmith. Having advised CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and government leaders across five continents, Cornelia brings a global lens to what effective leadership requires today.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
What Panoramic Leadership is and why it matters now more than ever

Why today's leaders are facing unprecedented levels of change and uncertainty

The hidden dangers of operating on autopilot

How to identify and update your personal "mental map"

Why curiosity, humility, and adaptability are critical leadership skills

The power of seeking perspectives that challenge your own beliefs

How blind spots impact decision-making and organizational success

Cornelia's GEM Framework:
Get Up Close

Establish Meaningful Bonds

Map Your Evolving Perspective

Why command-and-control leadership is becoming increasingly ineffective

How leaders can create environments where honest feedback thrives
Leadership isn't about having the loudest voice in the room. It's about having the widest lens. As change accelerates and complexity grows, the leaders who succeed will be those willing to continuously learn, evolve, and see beyond their own experience.

July 06CLASSIC EPISODE: How To Listen with Emily Kasriel
We live in a world that talks over people instead of listening to them. Debate has replaced understanding. Volume gets rewarded over vulnerability. And somehow, we’ve confused interrupting with intelligence.
In this episode, we’re flipping the script. Because deep listening—the kind that transforms relationships, diffuses conflict, and actually builds connection—isn’t soft. It’s a power skill. A leadership skill. A humanity-saving skill.
And there’s no one better to guide us through the how than today’s guest…
Our guide today is Emily Kasriel, award-winning journalist, former BBC executive, and creator of the Deep Listening approach. With two decades of media experience, a role as Senior Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London, and a new book (Deep Listening: Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends and Foes), Emily is here to show us how to stop talking... and actually hear each other.
Listening—truly listening—isn’t passive. It’s active, intentional, and strong as hell. And in a culture that values being loud over being present, choosing to listen might just be the most rebellious, relationship-healing thing we can do.

July 01Fair Share at Work: How Men and Women Create Gender Fairness Together with Dr. David Smith & Dr. Brad Johnson | 421
For years, conversations about gender equity at work have been framed as a women's issue. But what if that's the wrong conversation entirely? What if the real challenge isn't fixing women so they can survive outdated systems—but fixing the systems themselves?
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. David Smith and Dr. Brad Johnson, co-authors of Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together, to unpack what true gender fairness looks like in today's workplace. Together, they explore why gender equity benefits everyone, how outdated workplace norms are hurting both women and men, and what leaders can do to create workplaces where people can thrive professionally and personally.
This conversation challenges zero-sum thinking, dismantles harmful workplace myths, and offers practical strategies for building more equitable organizations—without pitting one gender against another.
In This Episode We Discuss:
What gender fairness actually means—and why it's not the same as treating everyone exactly the same

Why gender equity benefits men, women, organizations, and families

The myth that gender fairness requires men to lose in order for women to win

Why workplace equity is a leadership responsibility, not a women's initiative

How caregiving expectations impact career advancement for both women and men

Why flexibility, caregiving support, and pay transparency matter

The role leaders play in creating inclusive and equitable workplaces
Gender fairness isn't about giving one group an advantage—it's about creating workplaces that reflect how people actually live, work, lead, and care today. When organizations stop trying to fix individuals and start fixing outdated systems, everyone benefits.

June 29 CLASSIC EPISODE: The Small And The Mighty with Sharon McMahon
Why have we become so obsessed with celebrity and influence? It seems we’re infatuated with people in positions of power, with politicians, and with the uber-wealthy. Are they really the difference-makers we believe them to be?
In this episode, Sharon McMahon talks about the change-makers that she calls the “small and the mighty”. Sharon is America’s favorite government teacher and proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks. In her book THE SMALL AND THE MIGHTY: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, Sharon discovers history’s unsung characters and brings their rich, riveting stories to light for the first time. She also hosts the award-winning podcast,  ”Here’s Where It Gets Interesting”, and is the author of The Preamble, a Substack newsletter about politics and history.
The change agent, the innovator, the reformer, the disruptor, the mover and the shaker, the get shit done leader might not be on the ballot – it might be someone in your life, at work, in your community. You might be raising them, and it might even be you.
So be mighty – regardless of the position you’re in.

June 24Healing Complex Shame with Dr. Zoe Shaw | 420
We talk a lot about people-pleasing, perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, and self-doubt. But what if those aren’t actually the root problem? What if they’re symptoms of something deeper, heavier, and far more hidden?
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Zoe Shaw — licensed psychotherapist, relationship coach, speaker, podcast host, and author of Stronger in the Difficult Places — to unpack the uncomfortable but life-changing topic of complex shame. Not the fleeting embarrassment kind. The deep, identity-level shame that quietly shapes how we see ourselves, what we believe we deserve, and how small or safe we allow ourselves to play in life.
Dr. Zoe shares her own deeply personal story and explains how shame develops, how it disguises itself as “normal” behavior, and why healing requires more than just positive affirmations and surface-level self-help. This conversation dives into trauma, self-worth, people-pleasing, boundaries, vulnerability, confirmation bias, and the stories we carry about ourselves — often without realizing it.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The difference between guilt, shame, and complex shame

Why people-pleasing and perfectionism may actually be rooted in shame

How shame shapes identity, relationships, and self-worth

The hidden ways women learn to hide themselves

Why overachieving can become a coping mechanism

The “phantom critic” vs. the “courageous truth teller”

Why healing starts with honesty, not toxic positivity

Practical first steps for untangling deep shame patterns

How vulnerability helps shame lose its power
