What does it take to survive the unthinkable and then transform because of it?

In this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro sit down with Carol Murray, a woman whose life changed in an instant after a catastrophic skydiving accident left her free-falling over half a mile when both her main and backup parachutes failed. Her story was featured in the Toronto Star. The impact caused devastating injuries and years of recovery, but that’s only the beginning of her story.

This conversation goes beyond survival—it’s about rebuilding, redefining fear, and stepping into strength with intention. Carol’s story will challenge the way you think about setbacks, leadership, and what it really means to rise after life knocks you down.

Build Unstoppable Confidence: Simone Knego Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

Do you struggle with self-doubt or a lack of confidence? You’re not alone and this episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro is here to help you change that.

We’re joined by confidence expert Simone Knego, a two-time TEDx speaker, award-winning author of The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You and her newest book Real Confidence, and co-host of the globally ranked podcast Her Unshakeable Confidence. From summiting Mount Kilimanjaro to raising six children in a multicultural family, Simone has taken on extraordinary challenges—and now she’s helping women rise to their own.

Simone introduces her powerful REAL Method, a practical framework designed to help women move from self-doubt to self-trust. In this conversation, she shares how confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build through awareness, action, and the way you speak to yourself every day.

We dive into the hidden ways women lead that often go unrecognized, why the self-deprecating jokes we make can quietly erode confidence, and how the need for external validation keeps so many women stuck. Simone challenges us to stop waiting to be chosen and start choosing ourselves—because what we tell ourselves becomes what we believe.

You’ll also hear how Simone and her daughter Olivia are creating powerful, cross-generational conversations about identity, motherhood, courage, and connection—helping women of all ages step into their worth.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start living boldly, this episode will give you the mindset shift and tools to begin.

Undercover Warrior: Exposing Corruption Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

What does it really take to go undercover, expose corruption, and protect lives at the highest level?

In this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro feature real-life covert operative Nina Hobson—whose story feels like a movie, but every moment is real.

For over 15 years, Nina worked on the front lines of U.K. law enforcement, leading high-risk undercover operations involving murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, and financial crimes totalling over $100 million. She went on to become one of the few women to rise to Head of Security, protecting high-profile figures and A-list celebrities.

But her most dangerous mission wasn’t against criminals—it was from within.

In 2006, Nina risked everything to expose systemic corruption inside the British police force. Wearing hidden cameras for nearly a year, she gathered evidence that became the BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 documentary Undercover Copper. Her bravery helped change how sexual assault victims are treated and exposed deep-rooted institutional failures.

Today, Nina continues her mission—working in executive protection, advising major platforms like HBO Max, Netflix, and Discovery+, and taking on humanitarian efforts around the world, including rescuing victims and children of human trafficking and conducting anti-poaching operations in Zimbabwe.

This is a conversation about courage, conviction, and what it truly means to stand up for justice—no matter the cost.

🎧 If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to fight corruption and protect others in the most extreme circumstances, this episode will stay with you.

Solving Food Insecurity with WhyHunger Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

Food insecurity, hunger, food justice, and access to nutritious food are critical issues impacting millions—and the solutions may be closer than we think.

In this compelling episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, we speak with Jenique Jones, Executive Director of WhyHunger, about solving hunger through sustainable, community-driven solutions and why hunger is not inevitable.

Jenique’s passion is rooted in lived experience. Growing up in Harlem during the crack epidemic, raised by her grandmother, she witnessed how broken systems prevent access to basic necessities like healthy, nutritious food. That experience shaped her lifelong mission to fight hunger, strengthen communities, and advance food justice.

Her career includes public service with the New York State Senate, building community partnerships in education, and more than a decade at City Harvest, where she led efforts through major growth, technological innovation, and crises including Hurricane Sandy and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, Jenique leads WhyHunger, the global nonprofit founded in 1975 by musician Harry Chapin and radio host Bill Ayres, grounded in the belief that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right. She is expanding the organization’s visibility, partnerships, and funding to drive long-term, sustainable solutions to hunger worldwide.

Through initiatives like the award-winning Plentiful app, corporate and donor partnerships, and investments in sustainable agriculture, WhyHunger is addressing the root causes of hunger. In the past three years alone, the organization has connected more than 3.5 million people to nutritious local food and invested nearly $7 million globally to support community-led solutions that empower people to feed themselves.

This episode also highlights a major gap: many food assistance programs are not aligned with the true cost of living, leaving countless individuals and families food insecure. Jenique emphasizes that those most impacted must be part of the conversation—and part of the solution.

If you’re interested in hunger relief, food insecurity solutions, community empowerment, and sustainable food systems, this episode delivers insight, inspiration, and actionable awareness.

👉 Listen now to learn how hunger can be solved—and why it starts with all of us.

Mindfulness, Meditation & Healing with Oneika Mays Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Mindfulness, meditation, healing, resilience, and compassion are at the heart of this conversation with author and meditation teacher Oneika Mays.

After a personal tragedy changed the course of her life, Oneika left a successful career and began teaching mindfulness in one of the most unexpected places — Rikers Island.

There, she became the first mindfulness expert to assist incarcerated individuals, introducing meditation and compassion practices to people navigating some of life’s most difficult circumstances.

For nearly 15 years, Oneika has dedicated her work to bringing real-world mindfulness practices to communities often excluded from traditional wellness spaces. Her message is refreshingly honest:

Meditation isn’t about perfection.

It isn’t about always feeling peaceful.

And you don’t have to like people to love them.

In her book Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation, Oneika shares a deeply human approach to mindfulness that replaces pressure and performance with honesty, compassion, and presence.

In this inspiring episode of Women Road Warriors, hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro explore:

• How tragedy can lead to personal transformation

• What working inside Rikers Island taught Oneika about compassion

• Why meditation doesn’t require incense, silence, or a perfect mindset

• How mindfulness helps people navigate grief, stress, and life’s hardest moments

• The power of learning to simply sit with what is real

Oneika’s work reminds us that mindfulness isn’t about escaping life.

It’s about meeting it with courage, honesty, and compassion.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, judged, or disconnected, this conversation offers a powerful reminder:

You don’t have to change who you are to begin healing.

You just have to show up and sit with yourself.

The organization also played a key role in advocating for the creation of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, authorized by Congress in 2020.

Joining Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro is Frédérique Irwin, President and CEO of the National Women’s History Museum. With more than 25 years of experience in strategy, entrepreneurship, and impact leadership, she founded the women’s business education company Her Corner and previously served as Managing Director of Impact Strategy at the Sorenson Impact Institute.

In this episode, Frédérique shares the Museum’s groundbreaking work, its national exhibitions, and remarkable stories of women whose contributions deserve to be remembered — not buried as a footnote in history. You’ll hear numerous stories of women including the story of the woman who wrote the bill that became Title 9.
