This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Lisa Kalmin and Lynne Sheridan are both repeat guests on the podcast, and transformational leaders who have impacted hundreds of thousands of people, including me. I’ve asked them to join me to talk about the evolution of woman's work, and the challenges and opportunities of being a woman today. Inside you there lives an inner knowing that you have purpose, you have value, you are worthy simply because you exist. Who are you? What are you here to be? Give of your talents, your unique abilities, your super powers - give, but NEVER let it empty you. Inside you lives a badass. It’s time to listen to her. It’s time to live your truth. I can’t think of anything that’s more “woman’s work” than that. Click HERE for the free recording to the workshop Gracefully Moving Into the Emerging Woman You Are. Lisa and Lynne’s Badass Women’s Leadership Summit will be held October 7th-9th in Palm Springs, CA.

You’re always selling something... your product, your vision, your services, your value. And let’s face it, people with far less talent and care than you, are winning opportunities because they are better at selling. This is a skill I’ve both taught and avoided, done well and absolutely sucked at. Because I know it’s not just me, I’ve asked Nicole Cramer - sales coach, speaker, CEO and Exactly What To Say official certified guide to join me on the podcast. Nicole specializes in high touch relationship based selling, that has multiplied conversion rates by over 400%. She’s going to help us to turn more of our conversations into clients and I couldn’t be more excited to learn from her. I don’t care what you do for a living, you are in sales. Whether it’s influencing your kids to eat healthy or go to bed, advocating for yourself and the dream job or promotion you want, or impacting customers or clients with your product or service - You Are Selling. And so am I, so we might as well be great at it. This Is Woman’s Work.

In an ever changing world with increasing access to better technology, resources and people than in any other time in history, it’s amazing to me how many organizations and leaders refuse to test out new ways of allowing their teams to work. Despite the evidence that flexible work environments, schedules and trusting your people is profitable, organizations are still trying to force their team back to pre-covid work environments. On today’s episode I welcome Lona Alia - she is an expert on building revenue channels and fully remote teams. Head of Revenue at Safety Wing (where they have 100% retention… seriously), Advisor to Startups and EU for Innovation, Lona is a remote work advocate and Digital Nomad who has worked and traveled to over 80 countries and has learned 7 languages. She is even building the first country on the internet. I see far too many of us staying in unhealthy, unsupportive work environments out of some sense of displaced loyalty, or fear of change, or unwillingness to take strategic risks. Women make up a large and necessary part of the workforce. We have power. It’s time we use it for ourselves and everyone else that’s being underserved by their company. That is woman’s work.

“We expect women to work like they don’t have children, and raise children like they don’t work.” As a mom, this hits me so hard. How much longer are women going to be willing to carry this invisible load? And did you know it’s not just happening at home, but at work too?! Here today to have this incredibly important conversation is Kelli Thompson - Leadership Coach and Speaker, who helps women advance to the rooms where decisions are made. We are kindred spirits in that we both have books about confidence coming out this Fall. Hers is titled “Closing The Confidence Gap” and it comes out on November 1st. Her thought leadership has been featured in Forbes, Parents Magazine, and her article in HuffPost (on this very topic) is what caught my eye. As Kelli says “The way we lead more, is by doing less.” And all the women said “AMEN!” You may be thinking “But I can’t say no,” Yes you can! You have way more power than you recognize. And recognizing that power…well I’d argue, that’s where woman’s work begins.

Today, we celebrate ONE HUNDRED episodes of This Is Woman’s Work! Please imagine confetti dropping, cheese plates passing and air horns blowing…because we are that excited! Back in 2020 (right before that year’s biggest plot twist aka Covid), I launched my podcast with the goal of redefining what it looks and feels like to be doing “woman’s work” in life, at work, and even within ourselves. But I never thought it would have a much bigger impact on me. On today’s episode I reflect on this flawsome (embracing the flaws AND knowing it’s awesome regardless) experience, as I share with you some of the important lessons (some funny and some painful), some behind the scenes stories, and some truths I’ve experienced after 100 episodes of podcasting. And a huge thank you to the MOST important person to this podcast…YOU! Thank you for hearing me out, for your feedback, for your support, for telling your friends, for sharing on social media, and for listening. You have no idea how much this means. So cheers to you, the listener! This is Woman’s Work. To learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Our topic today is a heavy one, but it needs to be talked about because so many of us are experiencing it personally, collectively and globally. I often say that ‘I don’t know what to do with all these emotions’... all this anger, sadness, frustration, and the many, many other feelings. I’m not very good at grieving. Because I’ve never been taught how to. Here to help us learn to grieve is Marisa Renee Lee - Grief Advocate, Author of the book Grief Is Love, and the friend we all wish we had in times of need. Marisa is a Harvard graduate who uses research based wisdom to help us navigate the complicated and dark emotions we face when experiencing loss. She was also just on Glennon Doyle’s podcast, which makes me feel like I’m getting one step closer. lol What if we learned to live fully with our grief? Yes, that sounds hard because it is. But everywhere I look I see women doing hard things. In fact, I believe we could teach the world how to live well with hard emotions. I know many of you are grieving and I’m sending you love and hope. I’m also asking you to hold onto your love and hope, because that is Woman’s Work.

Today we are going to talk about romantic love. And not just the good parts. Because let’s be honest, there aren't many other areas of our lives that can spin us into fear, doubt and insecurity faster than a romantic relationship can, or even the desire for one. Here to help us navigate through this is Nicole Moore - CEO and Founder of Love Works Method. A celebrity and relationship coach, television host and show creator, Nicole has helped thousands of celebrities, reality stars, influencers, CEO’s, and powerful and influential women find their ideal partner. She’s worked with stars from Real Housewives, Love Is Blind and many others. Nicole walks us through how an internal shift can create the relationship and life you desire. When we stop being desperate for love and start loving ourselves first, it’s THEN that we can attract the love that fills our souls and fuels our purpose. It doesn’t need to be hard, it doesn’t need to be scary, and love doesn’t have to hurt. Let’s all go out there and find the love we deserve. Because that is Woman’s Work.

Many of us have been socialized to believe that our worth and our value is tied up in whether or not we get married. In our quest to get our ‘happily ever afters’, and in our attempt to live up to societal expectations, we often ignore the red flags, and because of this far too many women (and men) find themselves in unfulfilling marriages. So what do you do? How do you know when to keep fighting for the marriage or when to start fighting for the opportunity for something better? And if you make the decision that divorce is the best choice, how do you get through this extremely tough experience? I’ve asked Wendy Sterling to be my guest and to share both from her personal experience, and as the creator of the Divorce R.E.H.A.B program, who’s helped thousands of women reclaim their identity, heal and transform their lives. She’s also the host of The Divorced Woman's Guide Podcast and is passionate about helping women get unstuck so that they can design the life they choose. It will always be true that you are the decider of what’s right for you. But in all choices, I hope that you prioritize the love for yourself as just as important as the love you feel for another. Even if it means going it alone at times, or for as long as it takes to find somebody worthy of holding your hand and being on the journey with you. That is Woman’s Work. Here's Wendy’s downloadable guide around How To Manifest The Life You Want from the abundance mindset. You can follow Wendy on IG @divorcerehabwithwendy.

I am willing to bet that every one of you has an idea for a product, a service or a business…maybe even multiple ideas. The problem is so many of us talk ourselves out of our own million dollar idea not knowing where to start. But not my guests today. On today’s episode you are going to get to hear from two co-founders (who also happen to be twin sisters) who just launched their first product. And I’m willing to bet it is a million dollar idea. Taylor and Casey Capuano founded CAKES body, a company dedicated to creating solutions for women, while simultaneously supporting women’s health causes. Their first product answers the daily dilemma that so many women face of what to do with the fricken pads that seem to have a mind of their own in sports bras while also combatting NFO (nipple freak out). CAKES launched in January of 2022 and are currently in the top 8% of Shopify stores, have an overwhelming amount of raving fans and 5 star reviews, including me. We will hear how these ladies navigated through the fears, doubts, challenges, obstacles and disappointments of launching their big idea. What’s your big idea? How are you getting into action? Find yourself some encouragers, some supporters, some hype girls, some mentors, some truth tellers and some raving fans. Choose confidence again and again until it becomes contagious.

So many of us feel like we're inundated with ‘should’s, ‘supposed to’s, unsolicited advice, expectations and general pressure to do it all while making it look effortless. In the face of all of that noise, you’ll hear today from one of my bucket list guests, how to learn to listen to yourself again. I’m THRILLED to welcome Jenna Kutcher as my guest today. If you have somehow managed to make it through life up to this point without knowing who she is, Jenna is a Minnesota wife, mother and entrepreneur who aims for two things daily: helping others wake up to life, and staying in comfy pants (now, that’s a mission I can get behind). Host of the top-rated Gold Digger podcast, she’s helped hundreds of thousands redefine success and chase bold dreams through her work as a leading online personality and educator. Her book, How Are You, Really? is about to hit the shelves and I am so excited we all get to hear from her. We are going to invite you to get a little uncomfortable. Because as Jenna says, “the realist version of you deserves to be known and listened to.” To pre-order Jenna’s book go to www.howareyoureallybook.com and follow her on IG @jennakutcher To learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com Learn more about your ad choices.
