To stop trying to be like the extroverts around me and recognize that being an introvert not only was part of who I am, but it’s ac...

In this episode we’re going to take a close look at the actions, inactions, distractions, decisions, indecision, negative self-talk,perfectionism, imposter syndrome, ALL the stuff – and ask, “WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES”? We’re going to get curious about all of our self-sabotaging ways. Here to help us make sure we don’t turn into self-sabotage hoarders is Kamini Wood, who helps high-achiev...

We’re going to talk about LOVE today, and I think it’s important that I tell you I might be a little jaded. Do I believe in love? YES. Do I want all of us to experience more of it? HELL YES. Do I think love is patient, two become one, it excuses and justifies everything, all decisions should be based on it, and that it needs to be romantic love that results in marriage in order to be considered re...

We’re going to talk about some of the big compensation myths that might be holding YOU back and share some alternative approaches. I’ve invited Kelli Thompson back to the show, as she shares my passion for confidence, and is focused specifically on how confidence impacts your paycheck. She has coached and trained hundreds of women to trust themselves, lead, and create a career they love. She is th...

You likely know that October is breast cancer awareness month, and I’d be shocked if you don’t have someone you love, whether it’s YOU or a sister, mother, family member, friend, or colleague that has faced it. And like so many things in life, unless you’ve experienced it personally, at a deep and intimate level, it’s hard to know what to do, where to turn, and how to get the help – both medical,...

What does being motivated look like and feel like FOR YOU? Do you know what your internal motivators are? Your external ones? And for those of you who are leaders, managers, business owners, or parents, do you know what motivates your people!? Are you clear about THEIR internal and external motivators? If you’re not entirely sure, then you’re in for a real treat, because we’re going to talk MOTIVA...

Let’s talk about YOU being unapologetically BOLD. I’ve asked THE Boldness Coach, Vaneese Johnson to be our guest, as she is a highly accomplished and renowned professional in the field of coaching and has established herself as a trusted expert in empowering women to claim their boldness and achieve unprecedented success. A truth teller and transformation instigator, she challenges us to step out...

On this episode, we’re talking about the benefit of hindsight.  Because it’s what’s missing when you’re in a tough patch, feeling confused or in the dark, carrying something that feels too heavy for you to be carrying, unsure of your next steps, or have a heart that hurts. You don’t YET know how this will work for good, how this will impact your life, how, when, or in what ways whatever struggle y...

There are many reasons I love living life from a values first approach – first, it’s something I can connect to on a daily basis. It helps me make decisions, reminds me who I want to be and how I want to show up, provides clarity if someone or something is the right fit for me or vice versa, and I see my values as the roots from which confidence grows. So on this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, w...

Our topic today is CELL CARE which is a different but supporting approach to self-care. And sure, I know a few things about self-care, lifestyle rituals, and intentional living, but don’t have the first sweet clue about CELL care. I’m excited to learn and hope you are too! Dr. Monisha Bhanote, combines ancient wisdom with mind-body science to naturally bio-hack the human body through her expertise...

Whether you’re a full-time Mom where your job is inside the home, or a Mom who has an additional full or part time job outside the home, YOU HAVE A JOB. That job has REAL value. And we should start thinking about it like that. (Side note: I also believe that being a Dad is a job and more people should treat it as such, and dad expectations should be as high as mom expectations, but we’re talking a...

We’re going to do something a little different on this episode, and play affirmation roulette with none other than Kirsten Ferguson.  Because, let's be real. What we say to ourselves, about ourselves MATTERS. We all spend the bulk of our time, the majority of our LIVES, inside our own mind… we really ought to make it a nice place to be. After seven years of working with the NFL, Kirsten made the d...

Jessica has this to say about emotional eating: “Overeating is a REJECTION of Self. It is a moment of self-betrayal. In order to truly heal your relationship with food, you must address the fundamental disloyalty towards yourself.” UGH. I WISH I would have heard THAT earlier in my life. While I don’t fall into the emotional eating trap as often as I used to, it’s something I still need to be mindf...

Women’s right to choose has been in question throughout history… getting to choose who and if you marry, what you wear, what’s appropriate and not, whether or not you can work, what you can do for a living, the right to open your own bank account, to vote, to consent, and if and when you give birth. I am very aware I’m going to piss some people off, and this is too big, too important for me to wor...

On this episode of TIWW, we’re going to talk about ditching your inner “good girl” as well as some other uncomfortable truths that are holding us back from truly winning in life. Here to help us do that is Renee Bauer, Founder and Managing Attorney of “Happy Even After” Family Law, an international speaker, and author of 5 books, including her new book that’s about to be released and is already a...

Today we release the 150th episode of This Is Woman’s Work so it feels like a great time to THANK YOU for listening, for sharing, for rating and reviewing, and for joining us as we redefine woman’s work, together.  In this mini episode (because who has extra time?!) you’ll hear me: Vent about all the reasons I am not a fan of summer  Do one of my not so favorite things to do: ask for help BOOP - y...

Most of us have not only NOT been taught the skills to communicate well, we’ve been taught the opposite. We’ve probably observed more examples of INeffective communication than anything. Think about it for a second… were your parents good examples of this? Your first love? Your first boss? I’m gonna take a stab in the dark, and guess the answer for most of us is a hard NO. I am Nicole Kalil, and y...

You know how I feel about one-size-fits-all solutions to anything, and the health and wellness industry is no exception. So when we cover topics like todays, I’m always careful to bring people on who will share what they’ve learned, what they know to be true, their expertise BUT ALSO say that YOU need to figure out what’s right, best, and true for you. Said another way, they offer solutions, just...

When under stress, overwhelmed, or feeling burnt out, it is incredible how quickly many of us default back to perfectionism and people-pleasing and abandon ourselves. On this episode of TIWW, we’re going to talk about how to advocate for YOUR needs… first to yourself and then to others. I’m joined by Mara Glatzel, author, intuitive coach, and host of the “Needy” podcast. Mara helps humans stop aba...

I know being happy every minute of every day isn’t an option, but I do wish I saw more women experiencing it regularly. I wish women allowed themselves to choose happiness FAR more frequently without feeling guilty or selfish. So let’s talk about how we might do that. Joining me is Zenica Chatman, who after experiencing workplace trauma, went on a path to redefine her own self-worth and what it me...

I admire SO MUCH when I see people deal with difficult personalities, big egos, or people who’ve done major harm and they somehow manage to stay cool, calm, and collected. Being able to have a productive conversation with someone who makes your blood boil is a true superpower. Which is why I’ve invited Alicia Dunams, speaker, coach, certified mediator, peacemaker and author of the book, How to Tal...

On this very special episode, guest host Lynn Casaletto takes over the mic and not only interviews Nicole, but also her partner in life, Jay Kalil! They talk about everything from how they make their marriage work (and some things they do to get back on track when it’s not working), pet peeves, parenting, planning, and more! Questions were collected from Nicole’s community, and Lynn dished them ou...

I wonder if we added up ALL the minutes we’ve wasted standing in front of our closets thinking “I have nothing to wear” and all the time we’ve spent trying on 17 different outfits (only to walk out wearing the one we hate the least), how much time we’d have? Enough to learn a new language? An extra 2 weeks vacation every year? So my friends, let's give you back the greatest commodities you have: y...

I’ve been knocked down more times than I care to count, and the only thing I can tell you with any kind of certainty is that I’ve gotten UP at least one more time than I’ve been knocked down. I believe that’s true for you too. Because you’re here. On this episode of TIWW we’re going to talk about getting BACK into action after a setback. Because I know TWO THINGS FOR SURE, from every conversation...

Our topic is about taking risks, but I didn’t want to cover it with one of those “mer-women” (like mermaids, but with independence) who has done it all, unafraid, and made it look effortless. I wanted to talk about it with someone who I know would be REAL.  Real women taking real risks, big and small, with REAL feelings about it. So, without further delay, let me introduce my new friend Liz Deacle...
