Advertise on podcast: Women with Cool Jobs

6 Years Recording. Every Other Wednesday. Countless Women with Cool Jobs. No sponsors. Just inspiration! Saying that this podcast has changed my life is an understatement. These women are trailblazing, innovating, and leading across industries, trades, and businesses. They have shared their stories with such passion, chutzpah, and the gift of a raw and unfiltered look at the behind-the-scenes and in-the-weeds details that we don't get to see by scrolling highlight reels on Instagram or seeing updates on LinkedIn.  It has given me so much perspective and a whole lot more curiosity in  reconsidering what's possible, evaluating the risks worth taking, questioning how I think, and more.  For the moment, I am pushing the pause button and taking a break from podcasting to create some time for family and a bit of space for summer. So keep close, as there is no way I am stopping for good...because I love it too dang much. And, if you want more access to me, my resources and coaching on getting clarity and confidence when podcast guesting, I want to invite you to visit womenwithcooljobs.com and send a message or DM me @womencooljobs on Insta.

Are you the gatekeeper? When I first started my degree in journalism  and PR, we often talked about the gatekeepers in traditional media… the publisher, the producer, the journalist, the editor.  Other people were in charge of deciding if your voice would be heard on television, in print media, or on the radio. The gatekeepers controlled the access. Podcasting allows you to share your story in the most real, deep, authentic way...simply as you. You don't have to wait until someone gives you permission or grants you access. Take this episode as your permission slip to open the gates! Stop being your own gatekeeper.  Share your story. More women need to be sharing so we can dream into the possibilities and examples we hear. It matters more than you know.

Whether you're sharing as a guest on a podcast, in your career, or with friends, mastering storytelling can change everything.  In this episode, I share how my middle son's Little League jersey reminded me of one of the most important tips for storytelling and how you can incorporate it into your own storytelling. This simple detail can turn your everyday experiences into powerful narratives that inspire and connect.  We need more women sharing their stories as podcast guests and beyond, because we dream into another woman's reality.  We need to hear and see examples of what is possible from a woman who is relatable, inspirational, and real to imagine more for ourselves. For women eager to share your story, this very practical and tactical tip will help you get started.

When I started the podcast in early 2020, my goal with doing an audio format was two-fold:  So women could share their own stories in their own voice. To avoid, at ALL costs, being on camera.Haha. Almost six years later, and I have found myself completely re-evaluating! I chat about the irony of now experimenting with publishing this podcast as AUDIO and as VIDEO on YouTube when that was the absolute opposite of what I wanted at the beginning.  Being HEARD was scary enough. The thought of being SEEN, too, was absolutely, positively NOT an option. Never say never, because the combination of iterating and my curiosity are leading to something new... And I'm doing it all in "Done, Not Perfect" style!  Find this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s5YpldHexW4 Contact Info: Julie Berman - Host www.womenwithcooljobs.com @womencooljobs (Instagram) Julie Berman (LinkedIn) Send Julie a text!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

To look at Shirley Yang Crutchfield's gilded, 24k gold-leaf art portraits of women means you notice the details, the nuance, the shine, and the artistry. What you may not know is that up until a few years ago, she was in the tech world, not the art world.  After convincing master water gilders to teach her the ways of their art only 2 years ago, she has already been recognized for exceptional craftsmanship and resonance, including joining Art Basel Miami in 2025. Shirley's work draws on art history, fashion, contemporary heroines, and her own entrepreneurial journey. Shirley uses a 14th-century Italian water gilding technique, doratura a guazzo. Her art celebrates the strength and resilience behind success, inviting viewers to appreciate the stories that lie beneath the surface. Before becoming a professional artist, Shirley had a long career in tech where she worked in tech at  Fox, Sony, Amazon, NBC. Later, she went on to found her own company.

Singing Facilitator, Fiona Maria, uses singing circles to help people reconnect with their voice... even when they're convinced they can't sing.  Fiona leads singing circles that help people release previous voice shame, calm their nervous system, and experience the joy and belonging that come from singing with others. She teaches the songs by ear, so no musical background is needed. There's no sheet music. She never mentions soprano, alto, intervals, chords. For many, it's an unexpected tool that helps them feel more empowered when using their voice, both for singing and in other ways.    This episode explores: Why singing is one of the oldest tools for healing and connectionThe myth of tone-deafness and how most people can sing more accurately than they think  How singing activates 10 areas of the brainThe power of harmonizing with people you’ve just met and why it brings diverse people together Fiona has been singing & performing professionally for over 20 years. She was part of a vocal/instrumental Latin duo, Caramba, for many years before she started holding singing Circles and workshops in workplace and community contexts.  Contact Info: Fiona Maria - Guest Fiona Maria (LinkedIn) Sing High, Sing Low (Instagram) Sing High, Sing Low (website) Julie Berman - Host www.womenwithcooljobs.com @womencooljobs (Instagram) Julie Berman (LinkedIn) Send Julie a text!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

What if curiosity isn’t just a personality trait? In fact, it could be the compass that points us toward who we’re meant to become. In this special 5-year, podversary episode of "Women With Cool Jobs," my amazing friend and award-winning musician and filmmaker, Jillian Speece, joins me for a  deeply personal conversation about how this podcast came to life...and how curiosity has acted as an unexpected guide along the way. Inside this celebratory episode, Julie and Jillian explore:  How curiosity undeniably ties every woman featured on the show together  —  from smokejumper and cheesemonger to 3-D printing scientist, lipstick artist, general contractor, and butter maker The argument for “doing it scared,” and why some of the most important leaps in life feel the most terrifying Visibility, vulnerability, and courage to let go of being liked and allowing yourself to be seen  Why curiosity makes us better humans and why we don't have to all agree to navigate differences with grace, compassion, and genuine interest What began as a spark of curiosity and a leap into the unknown turned into 5 years of celebrating remarkable women doing the work that lights them up.  Thank you to all the incredible, inspiring women who have been guests during these past 5 years. I am so, so grateful!
