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.If you'd love to watch the video version of the interviews, be sure to subscribe to the podcast's YouTube channel HERE.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.

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.

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/s5YpldHexW4Contact Info:Julie Berman - Hostwww.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.

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 togetherFiona 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 - GuestFiona Maria (LinkedIn)Sing High, Sing Low (Instagram)Sing High, Sing Low (website)Julie Berman - Hostwww.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 interestWhat 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 went to a great women's event and was fine talking to everyone EXCEPT for one woman, who was intimidating to me because she did such cool things. She was empowering women by helping share their stories.When I got home, I reflected on why I felt so awkward and why the conversation didn't flow as easily as with the other cool ladies I chatted with previously (whom I also admired.) I came up with The Power of “Too” Thinking to help me and you flip feelings of being intimidated or feeling like an imposter when you're in spaces and places with super cool, impressive people you admire! Rephrasing the sentence into a positive, affirming statement PLUS adding “too” allows you to create a bridge for your brain to see how it's possible for you as well. I'm cool, too.I can figure it out, too.  I can be that, too.I can do that, too.Once we realize that what we see and admire in others is often a reflection of the characteristics and traits we have ourselves, we can use this tool to create more possibilities in our own life and be kinder to ourselves.[Note.

Chelsea Ross is the founder of Goddess Retreats, an award-winningwellness sanctuary in Bali that is a safe and supportive community for women seeking self-discovery and connection. She launched the world's first luxury, women-only surf and yoga retreat in 2003, long before it became mainstream. At that time, men and boys were often the only ones participating in the sport of surfing. She proved that women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities can surf -- and that you don't need to fit the media's image of a ‘surfer girl' to be part of the ocean's magic. Over the years, she expanded her offerings to include wellness, healing, and cultural experiences, too. The sanctuary blends personal growth with cultural immersion, pairing private villa stays with unlimited indulgent spa treatments, daily yoga, and holistic healing. There are also now two locations: the rice paddies of Ubud and the peaceful coastline of Seminyak. Chelsea has lived all over the world -- in southeast Asia, Australia, and Canada. She also has had very diverse work experience, including in hospitality, sales and marketing, as a life coach, salon owner, and more.Contact Info:Chelsea Ross - GuestGoddes Retreats (Instagram)Goddess Retreats websiteJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Send Julie a text!!Hey, thanks so much for listening to the podcast.
