Pushing Pause on the Podcast. Maycember, Teaching Elementary Students, & My Podcast Guesting Program, with Julie Berman
2026/05/27
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? Why You Need To Open The Gates and Share Your Story! with Host Julie Berman (Shorties ep.)
2026/03/18
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.

2026/02/04
Brittany Christenson proves that you don't have work at a nonprofit to positively impact your community and beyond.
Brittany is the CEO of AidKit, a Public Benefits Corporation, that helps government agencies and nonprofits administer aid programs throughout the United States. She considers her role as chief executive as holding the compass...helping her team row in the same direction to reach their organizational goals, and ultimately transforming aid delivery into an empowering act of community care.

As CEO, she sets the company’s strategic direction, drives technology innovation, and cultivates partnerships. Her and her coworkers help people by streamlining what could be a really difficult, time-intensive process to get assistance for everything from putting food on the table or buying a special birthday cake to getting disaster relief funds.
Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has helped over 200 agencies and nonprofits process over 500,000 applications and distribute more than $350 million in disaster relief, public
Prior to working here, she worked at a regional nonprofit focused on food security and community development and played a key role in launching one of the first pilots for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program’s (SNAP) online payments. She also managed a 90-acre organic vegetable farm, overseeing logistics and operations while deepening her commitment to food justice.

Isn't It Ironic? Why I Never Thought I'd Be Sharing My Podcast on YouTube, with Host Julie Berman
2026/01/21
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!

Water Gilding Artist Celebrates Women's Strength, Resilience, and Power with 24k Gold, with Shirley Yang Crutchfield
2026/01/08
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 Helps You Befriend Your Voice Through Singing Circles, with Fiona Maria
2025/12/10
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.

Curiosity As The Compass: Celebrating 5 Years of "Women With Cool Jobs" Podcast, with Guest Cohost Jillian Speece and Host Julie Berman
2025/11/27
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!
