Carla Zanoni is a journalist, poet, and media leader who's held senior roles at the Wall Street Journal, TED, and now runs the engagement journalism program at CUNY's Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. She's also someone who went into recovery at 23 and has rebuilt her life more than once. In this episode of The Breadwinners, host Rachael Lowell talks to Carla about what she calls "the alchemy of surrender" - those moments when the playbook stops working and you have to get quiet enough to see what's actually true. We talk about the myth of the linear career path, why bringing your whole self to work isn't cringey when it's real, and what it means to lead from a place of integration rather than compartmentalization. If you've ever felt like you were supposed to chart a course from A to B but life had other plans, this one's for you.

Welcome to Season 7 of "The Breadwinners," a podcast about how we navigate work, life, ambition and identity even as the ground shifts wildly beneath us. Join host Rachael Lowell, Executive Coach & Creator of the SHIFT Framework, for conversations with amazing and inspiring creatives, builders, experts and leaders about all the ways in which the world of work is radically different from what we expected (and what we were sold). What happens when the career you built disappears overnight, when your world shakes on its foundations, and when you have to keep leading? It can be messy, expensive and sometimes painful - but also freeing, with unexpected promise and potential. Even in the chaos of 2026 (and "chaos" is being polite), we can still be ambitious, inspired, hungry and driven by big dreams. Welcome to "The Breadwinners" - where we are doing it all, having it all, and ever rising.

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Aoife Kelleher, Director of Mrs Robinson. Mrs Robinson tells Mary's story, in her own words, for the very first time - illuminating battles for justice and equality over half a century; on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power. A reforming constitutional lawyer and senator in her early career, Mary Robinson detonated an electoral earthquake by winning the Irish Presidential vote in 1990. Later, as a crusading UN High Commissioner, she built a lasting legacy; fearlessly challenging perpetrators of human rights abuses all over the world.To this day, she exerts power and leadership as the Chair of The Elders; the independent group of global leaders (founded by Nelson Mandela) who work for peace, justice and human rights. As an influential global voice, Mary Robinson is also spearheading Project Dandelion: a women-led climate justice campaign. Mrs Robinson was directed by Aoife Kelleher and produced by Cormac Hargaden and Trisha Canning for Loosehorse. Executive Producers on the film include Pat Mitchell (co-founder of Project Dandelion), Geralyn Dreyfous, Lyn Lear, Regina K. Scully, Ruth Ann Harnisch and Melony Lewis. The film was funded by Fís Éireann /Screen Ireland and the Fiscal Sponsorship programme of the Utah Film Center.
Carol Kauffman, founder of the Institute of Coaching, Harvard Medical School assistant professor, and author of "Real Time Leadership." kicks off our Coaching Revealed podcast with IOC Executive Director Jeffrey Hull. Carol and Jeff's conversation delves into the evolution of coaching, with Kauffman sharing her journey from clinical psychologist to coach. She emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed coaching and recounts pivotal moments, including winning coaching tuition and connecting with influential figures like Marty Seligman and Ruth Ann Harnisch. The discussion extends to the MOVE model from Kauffman's latest book, emphasizing mindful leadership. Kauffman envisions coaching becoming a strategic tool across various domains, asserting its influence similar to positive psychology. As technology advances, Kauffman acknowledges the potential role of AI in delivering content and support but underscores the irreplaceable value of the human connection in coaching. The MOVE model is highlighted as a practical guide for leaders, demonstrating its applicability even in parenting situations.
The Border Patrol is one of the largest federal law enforcement agencies in the U.S., with roughly 19,000 officers. It also has one of the largest gender disparities – for decades, the number of women on the force has held steady around 5%. Despite years of demands for reform, the Border Patrol hasn't managed to substantially increase the number of women in the agency. Reporter Erin Siegal McIntyre set out to examine why this number has remained so low. She spoke with more than two dozen current and former Border Patrol agents and reviewed hundreds of pages of complaints and lawsuits in which agents allege sexual harassment or assault. Those interviews and documents reveal a workplace where a wide range of sexual misconduct is pervasive: from stale sex jokes to retaliation for reporting sexual misconduct and assault and rape. Siegal McIntyre starts with the first class of women who were allowed to become Border Patrol agents in 1975. We hear from Ernestine Lopez, a member of that class. Days before graduation, she is raped by a classmate and reports it. She's abruptly fired, leading her on a 12-year legal battle against the government. This is the first time Lopez, now 85, has told her story publicly. Next, we hear from a young woman who loved working as an agent but left the Border Patrol at the peak of her career. Her supervisor had targeted her and other women on her team by hiding a camera in the floor drain in the women's restroom. This is the first time she has spoken to a news outlet about her experience of reporting her supervisor and pursuing a case in court against him and the Border Patrol. Then we follow the story of Kevin Warner, a Border Patrol probationary agent who was abruptly fired months after participating in a sex game along with a dozen other agents, including his superiors. Warner alleges that he was wrongfully discharged. Then Siegal McIntyre takes her reporting to a former chief of the Border Patrol, Mark Morgan. She asks about workplace culture, the low number of women in the agency and the lack of transparency around investigations of sexual misconduct in the patrol. Support for Erin Siegal McIntyre's work was provided by the International Women's Media Foundation, the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and The Harnisch Foundation. Special thanks to Ruth Ann Harnisch, Deborah Golden and the Gumshoe Group for their legal support and to John Turner and Gary Kirk from the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at UNC Chapel Hill.

Today, we're heading back to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the United States to visit one of the early professional coaching pioneers, Mr. David Goldsmith.

David's also a senior partner of the Goldsmith Group, he's the founder and executive director of 7 Paths Forward, which is a training organization for coaches, where he partners with Mr. David Peterson. In the early 1990s, David worked closely with Thomas Leonard on the Coach 100 concept and served as the first president of Coach University. Yes, that's more than 30 years back. And during that time, he and Thomas founded the International Coach Federation, commonly referred to today as ICF, which is the leading coaching certification body for the global coaching profession. As well, David was one of the first to attain from the ICF, his master-certified coach and board-certified coach credentials. He later went on to lead coach-inc.com through its expansion as well as co-founding with Ruth Ann Harnisch the Foundation of Coaching, which later became the Institute of Coaching at Harvard, furthering the profession's commitment to research. As coaching spread globally, David was invited to Japan to train the country's first coaches, and he worked closely with the Japanese groups, Coach 21 and COACH A to establish coaching in this part of Asia. His client list reads like a who's who of the business world, and today his focus is primarily on working with executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. Often known as the coach's coach.

Why is film such an important medium for creating access? How can we use empathy to expand vision? Hosts Jason and Yvonne Lee share a moment with Spirit Award nominated producer (Songs My Brothers Taught Me), Angela C. Lee who also is the Associtate Director of Artist Development at Film Independent. By examining the ecosystem of filmmaking and producing, these three discuss the larger notion that access to “Hollywood” doesn't come just because we deserve it. They explore how we can find (or even create) traction within a film system by showing myopic gatekeepers the capability of success from projects that have stories, actors and production teams with whom these power-holders may not associate with viability. As a solution, these three discuss one real truth: diverse producers get diverse projects made. How do we nurture empathy to gain equity? How do we create a pathway to ownership so that we can control and expand vision? Listen and be inspired by Angela's determined passion. LA based and a native Chicagoan, she understands that producing is about seeing and supporting a filmmaker's vision, and sticking with them for the long haul to create space where they can shine. Along with Jason and Yvonne, who are on a mission to provide opportunities for stories that may not otherwise be told, they ask, how can we explain that discovery is infinite?

Book'em began in 1989 when four women (Lee Fairbend, Karen Estevez-Gill, Georgeanne Chapman, and Ruth Ann Harnisch) united to find opportunities to assist Reading Is FUNdamental Nashville in meeting its needs for books and volunteers.

The organization grew through the years distributing tens of thousands of books each year and adding a reading program in pre-schools, Ready for Reading, which is still offered today. Book'em merged with Reading is FUNdamental, the oldest literacy group in the Nashville area, in 2006. Today, Book'em administers the RIF program in ten Title I Metro elementary schools. Each year Book'em sponsors Read Me Day, a special celebration of reading in one of the RIF schools its serves, to raise awareness of the importance of providing literary services to Nashville children. • Reading volunteers for our Reading Is Fundamental and Ready for Reading programs for the upcoming school year • Book drives for our Books for Nashville's Kids program (new and like-new books for youth ages 0-18) • 30th Anniversary - Book'em was founded in 1989.
