This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide. Because that is Woman's Work. Learn more at nicolekalil.com

Let’s talk about the three things women are told not to do: negotiate, network unapologetically, and say no like we mean it.  Most of us have been programmed to default to yes—to the point that we feel guilty saying no, even when it’s the most obvious answer. And when we do say no? We often soften it, explain it away, and sugarcoat it so much that it barely sounds like a no at all. Kathryn Valentine—CEO of Worthmore Strategies an...

If you’re tired of spending a small fortune on skincare that might work, or overwhelmed by 12-step routines that leave you more stressed than glowing, this episode is your skincare reset. Licensed Master Esthetician and spa owner Lindsey Holder joins us to break down exactly how to care for your skin—without Botox, fillers, or Hollywood-level budgets. With over a decade in the beauty industry (including working with celebs in LA),...

Let’s talk about the most essential job that no one wants to call a job: the work done inside the home. Parenting. Caregiving. Running a household. It’s all real work — valuable, skilled, and foundational. And yet, it’s often dismissed, devalued, and definitely unpaid. This week, we’re going all in on the fight to change that narrative. Nicole is joined by historian and professor Emily Callaci, whose latest book Wages for Housewo...

Addiction doesn’t look the same for everyone — and for women, it often comes with an extra helping of shame, silence, and stigma. In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, we’re unpacking how addiction and recovery show up differently for women, why the traditional recovery narrative often falls short, and what it actually takes to reclaim your life in a way that feels true, honest, and yours. I’m joined by Patti Clark—award-winnin...

Some patterns are inherited. Some are learned. And some are just plain outdated. So how do you figure out which is which—and what the hell to do about it? In this episode, we’re diving deep into how to identify and rewire the invisible patterns that are no longer serving you with the help of Judy Wilkins-Smith. Judy is a world-renowned expert in systemic work and constellations, the author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint, and...

What does it really mean to live a meaningful life—and how do you know if you're doing it? In this episode, we're cutting through the noise, pressure, and Pinterest-perfection to get to the heart of it. Because purpose doesn’t have to be loud to be life-changing. It doesn’t have to trend to be true. Meaning is found in the relationships we build, the values we live, and the courage it takes to make choices that align with who we a...

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...

Let’s talk about women in sports—and not just the headline-makers or the occasional viral moment. We're talking about the Olympians, the Paralympians, and the elite athletes around the world who are changing the game… even if you’ve never heard their names. In this first (but definitely not last) episode on the topic, we’re shining a spotlight on the stories that deserve more air time. Because representation in sports matters—and ...

In this episode, we unpack the assumptions, the history, the marketing machine behind the myth of being a genius. Does being brilliant give you a free pass to be an a-hole? Should success in one area automatically make someone untouchable in all others? We’ve been sold a very narrow definition of genius—usually male, usually white, usually arrogant—and it's time we ask harder questions about who gets labeled brilliant, who doesn’t...

Let’s talk about adulting—actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant, licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new bo...

Let’s face it—rejection sucks. Whether it’s a gut-punch text, a polite but painful “no,” or the opportunity you swore was yours slipping through your fingers—it all sucks. But if you’re putting yourself out there (pitching, applying, risking anything at all), rejection isn’t a bug in the system. It is the system. Enter: Alice Draper. She’s the host of the My Rejection Story podcast, founder of Hustling Writers, and a woman who kno...

Joining us is Nidhi Pandya, a NAMA-certified Ayurvedic Doctor with a fierce commitment to blending ancient wisdom with modern life. She’s taught thousands through OneCommune and the Shakti School of Ayurveda, wrangled 3.5 billion views o...

Let’s be honest: when it comes to pelvic floor health, most of us have been fed a steady diet of silence, shame, and “just deal with it.” But that ends today.

With nearly 20 years of experi...

Let’s drop the highlight reel for a second: entrepreneurship is hard. It’s lonely, messy, and full of moments where you wonder if you’re the only one falling apart behind the scenes. So in this episode—and a few more to come—we’re cutting through the noise and talking about what it really takes to build a successful, scalable business. Enter: Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, powerhouse CEO of Incredible One Enterprises, creator of the...

For a lot of us—especially high-achieving women—ambition can feel like a double-edged sword. It drives us, fuels us, and pushes us forward. But it can also drain us, disconnect us, and quietly lead us away from who we really are. That’s exactly why I invited Amina AITai back to the podcast. She’s a holistic business and career coach, a chronic illness advocate, a proud immigrant, and one of the most grounded voices on what it mean...

We talk a lot about confidence on this show—what it is, how to build it, and how to hold onto it in a world that’s constantly trying to tear it down. And when it comes to raising confident girls? The most powerful thing we can do isn’t lecture or list strategies—it’s model it. Because confidence is contagious. Especially when it’s real. In this episode, I’m joined by Cyndi Roy Gonzalez, Executive Director of Girls on the Run Great...
