This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Nicole Kalil, Bleav

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.

    What Taylor Swift Teaches Us About Women, Influence, and Economic Power with Misty L. Heggeness | 400

    Let’s get one thing straight: this is not a fan girl episode. It’s a masterclass in women’s economic power, using one of the most undeniable case studies of our time — Taylor Swift.

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with economist and researcher Misty Heggeness, author of Swiftynomics, to break down what happens when women stop playing small and start reshaping entire industries.

    Because whether people like Taylor Swift or not? Irrelevant. What she’s done for ownership, influence, and economic impact? Undeniable.

    This conversation dives into the data behind the headlines — exposing how women have always been driving the economy… just without the credit.

    In this episode, they explore:

    • What “Swiftynomics” actually means (and why it’s bigger than Taylor Swift)

    • Why traditional economic metrics undervalue women (and always have)

    • How women drive over 80% of consumer spending — and what that means for power

    • The rise of female-led content, companies, and cultural influence

    • Why backlash against powerful women is predictable… and irrelevant

    • The economic shift happening when women support women — and stop supporting what doesn’t support them

    • Why equity in the workplace and at home benefits everyone (yes, even men)

    This isn’t about celebrity. It’s about who holds power, who gets recognized for it, and who’s done waiting for permission.

    This episode reframes Taylor Swift as more than a pop icon — she’s proof of what happens when women own their work, their voice, and their value, and in doing so, redefine the entire economic landscape.

    The 6 Stages of Lasting Love with Thais Gibson | 399

    Romantic relationships are not supposed to stay frozen in the honeymoon phase forever. In this episode, Nicole Kalil sits down with attachment theory expert Thais Gibson—bestselling author, PhD, and founder of The Personal Development School—to break down the six stages of relationships, why the power struggle stage is where so many couples get stuck, and what it really takes to build healthy, lasting love.

    Because, contrary to everything rom-coms, bad advice, and old conditioning taught women, a strong relationship is not about never changing. It is about learning how to grow, communicate, repair, and keep choosing each other when life gets messy, inconvenient, and very unsexy.

    In this episode, Nicole and Thais discuss:

    • The 6 stages of relationships, from dating to everlasting love

    • Why the power struggle stage is normal, not proof something is broken

    • Why vulnerability is the price of deeper connection

    • The communication mistake couples make on repeat

    • Why women often overfocus on being chosen instead of doing the choosing

    • Why people date potential and how that blows up later

    • What it takes to move from stability into devotion and lasting partnership

    This conversation gets into the real stuff: dating red flags, codependency, conflict resolution, self-abandonment, subconscious patterns, and the truth about what it takes to create a healthy relationship that evolves with you instead of trapping you.

    UNCOMPETE: Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success with Ruchika T. Malhotra | 398

    Somewhere along the way, women were sold a lie: competition is the price of ambition. Be faster. Be louder. Be better. And if someone else wins? You must lose.

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Ruchika T. Malhotra—founder and CEO of Candour, a global inclusion strategy firm, and author of Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success—to dismantle the zero-sum mindset and replace it with something far more powerful: collaboration, abundance, and shared success.

    Ruchika, a former business journalist and contributor to Harvard Business Review (including co-author of one of HBR’s most-read articles, Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome), brings research, global perspective, and real-world strategy to challenge how we think about workplace competition, women in leadership, and ambition.

    Together, they unpack:

    • Why competition in real life rewards conformity—not excellence

    • The difference between comparison (human) and competition (optional)

    • How social media fuels constant, low-grade competitive anxiety

    • What “uncompeting” looks like in promotions, leadership, and career growth

    • How to turn envy into data instead of self-destruction

    • Why competing with other women isn’t strategy—it’s conditioning

    Bottom line: Uncompeting isn’t about lowering ambition. It’s about rejecting scarcity, defining success on your own terms, and building long-game leadership rooted in integrity—not insecurity.

    Meditation for Real Life: Presence, Mindfulness, and A Zen Mind with Jo Rose | 397

    What if meditation isn’t about sitting still, clearing your mind, or becoming some perfectly calm, enlightened human?

    What if it’s simply about presence?

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and founder of the globally consumed meditation podcast A Zen Mind, Jo Rose, to talk about meditation for real life, nervous system regulation, and how cultivating presence can transform the way we work, lead, and live.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    • The biggest myths about meditation and why so many people think they “can’t meditate”

    • Why meditation isn’t about silencing your mind 

    • How presence and mindfulness can happen during conversations, movement, or everyday tasks

    • The connection between nervous system regulation and feeling calm, open, and grounded

    • Why trying to control outcomes often blocks creativity and intuition

    • The difference between forcing results vs. allowing flow states

    • How to discover routines that support your mental health and well-being (and why copying someone else’s routine rarely works)

    • The power of devotion over discipline when building meditation and mindfulness practices

    Because meditation isn’t about perfection. It’s about noticing when your mind wanders… and bringing it back. Over and over again.

    Women Are Tired — Stop Pointing It Out | Unfiltered & Unhinged

    Some phrases women hear on repeat really need to be retired — permanently.

    In this unfiltered & unhinged short episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil revisits her earlier rant “Stop Saying That” (Episode 216) and adds another phrase to the list: “You look tired.”

    Nicole explains why this comment — even when it’s meant with good intentions — isn’t helpful. If someone looks exhausted, chances are they already know. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the never-ending mental load women carry, it’s no surprise so many are running on fumes.

    Instead of pointing it out, Nicole suggests a better approach: ask how someone is doing, offer support, or bring coffee.

    Because there’s a big difference between making an observation and showing actual care. And yes, women are tired — but we keep showing up anyway.

    ADHD in Women, Nervous System Regulation & Getting Out of Fight-or-Flight with Jenna Free | 396

    For years, women have been told to just focus harder, get organized, use the planner, and stick to the system. But when those systems don’t work, the assumption is that we’re the problem.

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with ADHD counselor, author, and creator of the ADHD Regulation Method, Jenna Free, to challenge the idea that there’s a “right” way for our brains to function.

    Jenna offers a different perspective: ADHD isn’t a defect — it’s a brain difference. And many of the struggles people associate with ADHD may actually come from something else entirely — chronic nervous system dysregulation and living in constant fight-or-flight mode.

    In this conversation, Jenna breaks down why so many traditional productivity tools fail people with ADHD, how dysregulation fuels overwhelm and procrastination, and what it actually takes to create balance, focus, and sustainable productivity.

    This conversation isn’t just for people with ADHD. It’s for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, behind, or convinced that they just need to try harder.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why ADHD is considered a brain difference, not a disorder or failure

    • How chronic fight-or-flight dysregulation amplifies ADHD symptoms

    • Why rushing is one of the biggest signals of nervous system dysregulation

    • The difference between living in potential vs. reality (and why it matters)

    • The role of curiosity — instead of guilt and shame — in changing patterns

    • Why traditional productivity advice often backfires for ADHD brains

    • When medication can be helpful — and why it’s not a moral decision

    If you’ve ever felt like your brain just doesn’t cooperate with the way the world expects you to work… this conversation might just change how you see yourself.

    AI, Hiring, and the Future of Work (Without Selling Your Soul) with Katie Fortunato | 395

    AI is officially in the workplace, on the group chat, and probably drafting someone’s “thought leadership” while they’re still in the shower. In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil goes toe-to-toe with the thing that’s equal parts fascinating and mildly rage-inducing: AI and the future of work.

    Enter Katie Fortunato, Co-Founder and EVP of Platform Innovation & Strategy at Hire Innovations, a global leader in human-centered AI talent technology. Together, they unpack how to use AI as a tool (not a personality), how to avoid “automation without accountability,” and why the future belongs to humans who can still think, judge, and lead—aka the “skills” no bot can fake convincingly for long.

    In this episode, they get into:

    • Why AI feels like cheating… and when it actually is

    • The difference between using AI for productivity vs. outsourcing your identity

    • “Brand choices” (aka: how to lose audience trust in one easy AI avatar)

    • How to start using AI if it’s intimidating: repeat-task lists, tiny experiments, and momentum

    • Picking AI tools without spiraling: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude—and why it’s like joining a gym

    • AI in hiring: what “responsible AI” actually looks like in talent tech

    • The uncomfortable truth: there is no 100% guarantee—so you need guardrails

    • Vendor trust, data privacy, compliance, and why downloading random tools at work is chaos behavior

    • Why protecting critical thinking is urgent—especially for kids (and honestly, adults too)

    • The core takeaway: let AI handle repetitive work so humans can double down on context, curiosity, judgment, and care

    Wrap-up (because the point is the point): Nicole and Katie land on a clear line in the sand—AI can boost productivity, but it shouldn’t replace human thinking, discernment, or authenticity. The future of work won’t just be shaped by what AI can do; it’ll be shaped by what people choose to protect while using it.

    Aging Out of F*cks (Your Confidence Upgrade) with Ellen Scherr | 394

    Let’s talk about the glow-up no one told you about: the one where you hit midlife and suddenly cannot be bothered with other people’s bullshit anymore.

    Because somewhere between perimenopause, professional burnout, emotional labor overload, and decades of people-pleasing, something shifts. You stop cushioning your words. You stop managing everyone else’s feelings like it’s your unpaid side hustle. And when someone asks, “Are you okay?” the answer is, “Better than ever. I just ran out of estrogen—and tolerance.”

    In this episode, Nicole sits down with licensed clinical therapist Ellen Scherr to unpack the neuroscience behind what she calls “aging out of f*cks.” Spoiler alert: this isn’t bitterness. It’s biology.

    As estrogen declines in midlife, it impacts multiple neurochemical systems in the brain—systems tied to anxiety, people-pleasing, anger regulation, and emotional buffering. The “popular girl at the party” (aka estrogen) leaves… and suddenly the whole dynamic changes. What once felt like obligation starts to feel optional. What once felt terrifying starts to feel negotiable. And what once felt like “I should” becomes “Do I even want to?”

    They dive into:

    • The neuroscience of perimenopause and menopause—and how hormonal changes impact confidence, risk-taking, and people-pleasing

    • Why women’s confidence actually increases with age (and can surpass men’s in their 60s)

    • The lifelong cost of emotional labor—and why it starts to break down in midlife

    • How negativity bias keeps women stuck in fear (and how to reframe it)

    • The difference between legitimate feedback and social punishment

    • Why so many women make bold career, relationship, and life changes in their 40s, 50s, and beyond

    • Whether it’s possible to “speed up” the process of caring less in your 20s and 30s

    This isn’t about blowing up your life. It’s about understanding the neuroscience of midlife, reclaiming your authenticity, setting boundaries, and rewiring old people-pleasing patterns.

    Aging out of f*cks isn’t decline—it’s development. It’s honesty over harmony. And if you’re suddenly “too much”? Good. You’re not here to be palatable. You’re here to be you.

    Pivot With Purpose: How to Know When It’s Time to Stay, Shift, or Walk Away with Melissa Gonzalez | 393

    We love a good “never quit” mantra. Hustle. Grind. Push through. Stay committed.

    But what if the bravest move isn’t doubling down… it’s pivoting?

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Melissa Gonzalez — principal at MG2, shareholder at Collier’s Engineering and Design, founder of The Lioness Group, and author of The Purpose of Pivot: How Dynamic Leaders Put Vulnerability and Intuition into Action — to unpack one of the hardest leadership and life questions: How do you know when it’s time to pivot?

    Because staying the course can be grit… or it can be self-betrayal.And pivoting can be courage… or it can be avoidance.

    The line? Blurry as hell.

    Together, they explore how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, discomfort and misalignment, commitment and stuckness — and how to make intentional, purpose-driven decisions without blowing up your entire life (unless you actually need to).

    They explore:

    • The physical and emotional signs it’s time to pivot

    • How to run an “energy audit” to see what fuels vs. drains you

    • The difference between purposeful change and running away

    • Why clarity about your purpose makes decisions easier

    • How to stop letting other people’s opinions drive your choices

    Because pivoting doesn’t require certainty. It requires discernment. And staying isn’t noble if it’s shrinking you. The goal isn’t to get it perfect. It’s to stay in relationship with yourself while you decide.

    Joan Lunden on Reinvention, Leadership & Life Beyond the Script | 392

    What happens when a woman refuses to follow the script she was handed?

    In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and former Good Morning America co-host Joan Lunden to talk about reinvention, leadership, pay equity, aging, caregiving, and choosing yourself — again and again.

    Joan was offered the co-host role at Good Morning America the same day she found out she was pregnant. In the 1970s. When working mothers were barely visible on television, and “breastfeeding” wasn’t even a word you could say on air. She brought her baby to work anyway.

    Throughout her career, she negotiated creative compensation before pay equity was a mainstream conversation, pushed back on being labeled “second banana,” navigated public scrutiny, and later reinvented herself again — this time as a fierce advocate for women’s health, breast cancer awareness, dense breast legislation, and caregiver rights.

    In this conversation, she shares:

    • How to reinvent yourself at every stage of life

    • What it takes to negotiate power in male-dominated spaces

    • The pressure of being the “perfect working mom”

    • How she handled media criticism and public expectations

    • Why sisterhood and strong women behind the scenes mattered most

    Joan’s story is proof that reinvention isn’t a phase — it’s a practice. And ambition doesn’t expire just because culture says it should.

    Choosing yourself isn’t one bold move. It’s a lifetime of them.

    Survival Is Woman’s Work with Kathy Giusti | 391

    This podcast often explores ambition, leadership, confidence, and impact.

    But sometimes? Woman’s work looks a whole lot more like survival.

    Not the inspirational quote version. Not the neat-and-tidy comeback story. Not the “and then she rose” highlight reel.

    This episode of This Is Woman’s Work dives into the raw, relentless, day-by-day kind of survival — the kind that asks someone to keep showing up while life is actively coming apart.

    Nicole Kalil is joined by Kathy Giusti — two-time cancer survivor, healthcare entrepreneur, founder of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), and author of Fatal to Fearless. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma at 37 and given three years to live, Kathy turned her prognosis into a movement that helped transform cancer research and dramatically extend life expectancy for patients.

    Yes. From terminal diagnosis to systemic change.

    In This Episode, They Discuss:

    • What survival really looks like after a terminal cancer diagnosis

    • Why resilience isn’t pretty — and rarely feels brave in the moment

    • The difference between “fighting” cancer and running a marathon with it

    • How to advocate for yourself inside a broken healthcare system

    • Why women must step into the role of CEO of their own healthcare

    • The power (and responsibility) of using social media wisely for medical information

    • The hard truth about boundaries, burnout, and forgetting to live while trying to stay alive

    Kathy shares what it meant to raise a family while preparing for death. To build a global research foundation while undergoing chemotherapy. To carry hope, fear, responsibility, and grief — all at once.

    And perhaps most powerfully, she shares the regret she didn’t anticipate: that in trying to save her life (and so many others), she sometimes forgot to fully live it.
