Master Welder and Founder of Weld Jointed with Pa'Trice Frazier
Real Women's Work Podcast
Did you know that the US has a shortage of welders? Me either. But after reading a NYT article in 2009, Pa'Trice Frazier took a trip to her local school to ask if the statistics were true. Sure enough, the instructors confirmed that the US had a shortage of 150-200K welders on their hands. Pa'Trice signed up on the spot to become a welder. After becoming a certified welder, Pa'Trice spent the next years of her life traveling the US. How did she find work? She showed up where project job crews ate. She'd tell them she was a badass welder and asked if they needed one. This is how Pa'Trice began...

Real Women's Work Podcast
Have you ever seen those gorgeous videos from your favorite brands- you know, the ones that show how they make their jelly or jewelry (or maybe even their beautiful tulip farm!) and wonder who makes them? Have you noticed the continuity in the images and video and appreciated that it tells you a story so you can really know the brand? Or maybe you've noticed there is an important person missing from your family photos (YOU!) and you'd like to become more confident being in them? Are you a photographer who would like to add Brand Photography, Strategy, and Video Storytelling to your services? ...

Lori Frisher, CEO/Disability Empathy Strategist Ready or Not! Mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lorifrisher/
Real Women's Work Podcast
In twenty years and beyond it will be interesting to look back and see the good that came out of the pandemic. Yes, it was a long and awful ride. It also gave us things we may not have found otherwise. Ready or Not! Media is one of those things. The pandemic gave Lori Frisher a new view. Lori was the first recipient of Cochlear Implants and relies extensively on lip reading. When masks suddenly covered the mouths of those she was speaking with, the world changed. Lori also became seriously ill during the pandemic. Communication was complicated at best and Lori understood the...

Jenny Goldfarb, Founder & CEO of Unreal Deli
Real Women's Work Podcast
Shark Tank may have been your introduction to Mrs. Goldfarb, too! As an avid watcher of Shark Tank I specifically remember when Jenny appeared. I was so excited to see a meat on the show! Jenny's energy, passion, commitment and joy burst throught the screen. I found myself not only cheering her on but thrilled that she got a deal with one of my favorite Shark's; Mark Cuban. A couple of months ago Jenny's name popped up in a bunch of my vegan Facebook groups- turns out, Unreal Deli was launching in the service deli of Hannaford Supermarket! Do you know what the service deli is? It's the...

Senior Buyer for a Major Catalog with Jess Shaw
Real Women's Work Podcast
Which catalogs have arrived in your mailbox lately? For me this week it was LL Bean and J. Jill. I love looking through catalogs but never thought much about how they are created. What surprised me after talking with Jess is how personal this process is. Jess really gets to know her clientele and puts so much thought into what they want. Jess and her team choose every item that makes it into their catalog. This is done through a process of getting to know her clientele and then finding the items they would like to buy. From attending fashion trade shows to find product all the way...

Menstrual Health Coach
Real Women's Work Podcast
Do you live with "The Curse"? When voicing your opinion have you beed asked if you are "on the rag"? How society speaks about menstruation hurts women. It has caused us to believe we are "crazy", unreliable, and impossible to deal with during "that time of the month". It affects our lives- the choices we make, the way we talk to and think of ourselves, and the narratives we live by and pass on to our children. What if it were different? What if we were able to tap into the power that comes from hormones? Not in a hippy-dippy way, but in a science backed biological way? What if...

Horror Artist and Prop Builder with Steph Strensrud
Real Women's Work Podcast
You know those people who have no idea how inspring their life is? Whose stories and choices are so powerful they shift the way we understand life? That's not what I was looking for when I considered who might be an awesome guest for October. Yes, talking with Steph Strensrud hits all the horror marks; man eating plants. Zombies. Edgar Allen Poe. Horror cons. They are all in here. What hadn't occurred to me though is what it took for Steph to create a life that centered her passion for horror. That like all creative pursuits, Steph had to learn to listen to herself. Trust her gut....

Forensic Psychologist, Kate Wallinga
Real Women's Work Podcast
Do you know what a forensic psychologist does? Are you sure? Most of us think we know what a foresnsic psychologist does from watching LA Law, SVU, and other crime shows. In this episode, Kate Wallinga not only gives us an idea of what the work of a foresnic psychologist is, she adds in the humanity. From court room to prison, Kate's vast background is hard to imagine choosing. Listening to her talk about her work is both eye opening and humbling. Her words inspired me to dig deeper to see the humanity in everyone and gave me a new (and more accurate) understanding of the work of a forensic...

Real Women's Work Podcast
Whew. I thought we were going to spend this hour talking about how the world of virtual assistants works and what it's like founding and running an agency. We did, of course.

The wisdom and vulnerablity Emilie shares in this epidose is empowering, inspiring, and practical. Emilie is not somebody who is trying to build a business through here message,...

info_outlineSocial justice takes many forms. While we tend to think of marches, boycotts, and petitions, there are women who have devoted their lives and careers to taking practical action for social justice. Civil rights attorney Sandra Hanshaw Burink is one of those women.
Sandra tells us about how she determines whether a case exists, how she prepares, how she communicates with her clients and how she prepares for a case. In addition to all of this, Sandra shares wisdom, courage, and sheer bravery as she not only learned how to take depositions and try cases, but as she learned how to navigate life transitions, like divorce, while exemplifying integrity and grace. You won't want to miss today's incredible episode.

It is not a teaching, program, or course. It is an offering- an opportunity for us to love ourselves more. It is low-key, low-pressure, and all women are welcome.
