This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Latest Episodes:

163 / Do You Believe in Love? with Arielle Ford Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

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 real love? Absolutely not.

Given that I clearly have some energy about the topic, I’ve brought in an expert for all of our benefits.

Arielle Ford is a celebrated love and relationship expert, author, and speaker whose mission is to help people Find Love, Keep Love, and most importantly, Be Love. An award-winning author of eleven nonfiction books, including the international bestseller, THE SOULMATE SECRET: Manifest the Love of Your Life with The Law of Attraction, Arielle has been called “The Cupid of Consciousness” and “The Fairy Godmother of Love.” Her debut novel, The Love Thief, is a roller-coaster ride of love, betrayal, and unexpected transformation with a juicy revenge sub-plot and a surprise ending. And she’s here to talk with us about love.

I think we’ve received enough messaging about finding love, what love is and what it isn’t, so I’ll say this: Love YOURSELF, so you know what it feels like to love and be loved, and so that nobody can come along and offer you less and trick you into thinking it’s more.

Knowing what it is to BOTH love and be loved. That is woman’s work.

162 / Compensation Myths with Kelli Thompson Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

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 the founder of the Clarity & Confidence Women’s Leadership Program, a Stevie Award winner for Women in Business—Coach of the Year, and the author of Closing The Confidence Gap: Boost Your Peace, Your Potential & Your Paycheck.

Determining your compensation almost ALWAYS involves more than just one perspective. It’s a discussion, a negotiation, an agreement.

But ADVOCATING for what you believe you’re worth just takes YOU.

161 / Survivorship and Breast Cancer with Virginia Carnesale Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

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, and otherwise – you need. It’s also hard for loved ones to know what to do, what to say, and how to support.

I’ve invited Virginia Carnesale, breast cancer survivor and founder and CEO of Stage to join us today. In 2018, Virginia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through her 18-month journey to wellness, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was an opportunity to better serve other patients and their loved ones with the knowledge, sisterhood and style tips that can only come from those who have walked this road. So in 2022, with her very successful 20-year marketing and merchandising background with companies like Nike, Gap, and Saks Off 5th , she put her ideas into practice and launched Shopstage.co, a resource, support system, shopping and wellness destination to see women all the way from breast cancer prevention to deep inside her experience, with respect for, and recognition of, this uniquely personal journey.

Prioritize your health above your busyness, get your mammograms, encourage the women you love to get theirs, support the research, volunteer, donate, do the walks, wear all the pink, and BE THERE for your people.

Most importantly, let’s make sure NO woman ever has to face breast cancer alone.

160 / Motivation with Kate Tracy Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

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 MOTIVATION!

Kate Tracy is the Global Head of Client Partnerships at Varna Group LLC where she helps companies increase impact, retention, and employee engagement through research-backed educational experiences. Kate’s areas of expertise include building solutions-oriented teams, optimizing performance, and exceeding targets. Like me, she gets a little too excited about creating efficient processes and procedures, she’s going to help us learn more about how to tap into internal motivators so we can maximize engagement in our work.

If you’re clear about what you want, what REALLY matters to you, are connected to your confidence, know who you are and what you’re not, well friends, we need you.

The world needs you, whether your work impacts the world or one person at a time. We need you to set aside all the stuff, and the things, and the distractions and get motivated about what really matters.

A truth teller and transformation instigator, she challenges us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace our full potential.

Vaneese says “If you want a better quality of life, then update it your damn self!” (now that’s an example of being bold!)

158 / The Benefit Of Hindsight Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

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 you’re in will have you grow, will shape you into someone better… but you get to trust that it will.

Because it always has.

I share some very real examples of what hindsight has taught me over the last year, as we hit the anniversary of Validation Is For Parking being released… but not just the highlights, the behind-the-scenes too.

Your hindsight is on the way. I just know it. And that hindsight may just become the foresight you need for what’s coming next.

157 / Values First with Dr. Laura Eigel Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

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, we’re going to get YOU connected to YOUR values!

Laura Eigel, founder of The Catch Group, a leadership coaching and consulting firm accelerating women into the C-suite, author of Values First: How Knowing Your Core Beliefs Can Get You the Life and Career You Want, and the host of the “You Belong in the C-Suite” podcast, joins me. Known for her direct feedback and passion for living a life guided by her values, she has been an HR executive at Fortune 50 companies, joined the C-suite as a Chief Learning Officer, and now coaches high-achieving women to build fulfilling lives inside and outside the boardroom.

When you know and operate from your values, you build trust. With yourself, and with others.

You know what to expect. And so do other people.

I’m not suggesting it’s always easy to stick to your values, but the more you practice the deeper those values go, the more you embody them, and the clearer you get on WHO YOU ARE, and who you’re not.

What do YOU value? And how are you living those values?

156 / Cell Care with Dr. Monisha Bhanote Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

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 as a cytopathologist, functional culinary medicine specialist, and integrative medicine doctor. Known as the Wellbeing Doctor, Dr. Bhanote has diagnosed over one million cancer cases, provides health programs at DrBhanote.com, and leads wellness workshops and retreats worldwide. She serves on several clinical advisory boards and is a go-to health and wellness expert for Healthline, Psych Central, and Medical News Today.

As Dr. Bhanote shares, “Your wellbeing is non-negotiable.”

The reality is if you don’t make time for your wellness, you’ll end up needing to make time for your illness. Your health is THAT important.

And the ultimate form of self-care is becoming and being the healthiest version of YOU, you can be.

Take care of yourself, my friend.

155 / Executive Motherhood with Ashley Quinto Powell Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

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 about Moms here today.)

I’ve invited Ashley Quinto Powell to join me to talk about this concept of Mom as a career, and as an employer. Ashley is a serial entrepreneur, a national speaker, and the author of Executive Motherhood: The Art of Having It All Without Doing It All. As the Founder of the Virtual Assistant Agency, myVA Rocks, she knows a thing or two about running a business, and she’s spoken about motherhood for TEDx. Ashley provides a different perspective on Motherhood by redefining “mom,” as a mother and as an employer.

Whether you’re a “yummy mummy” (you know those super zen yogi moms that wouldn’t dream of losing their cool and individually squeeze the milk of organic almonds while sculpting their abs, soothing kids' feelings and saving the whales), a holding on by the seat of your pants

Mom, or any other type of Mom, YOU HAVE VALUE!!

Recognizing, appreciating, and acknowledging that value isn’t just Woman’s Work. It’s society’s work.

It’s about time we see it for what it is: Women. Doing. Invaluable. Work.

154 / Affirmation Roulette with Peloton’s Kirsten Ferguson Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

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 decision to shift her focus to family. Her journey to motherhood was not easy, and fitness helped Kirsten strengthen her body and soul during difficult times. She is now the proud mother of two beautiful daughters and uses her life experiences to fuel her deeply inspiring workouts. She shares affirmations while you move… ones that speak directly to your soul and feel like they were meant just for you, and come at exactly the right time. You can find her on the Peloton Tread and you can count on epic hip hop and R&B playlists, a truly great workout, AND affirmations that remind you who you are and what actually matters.

It’s time you affirm yourself! Because if you don’t affirm YOU and your choices, who will?
