    What a “Good Divorce” Can Look Like with Erin Levine | 426

    Divorce is often portrayed as a battle—one that leaves everyone emotionally exhausted and financially depleted. But what if that's not the only path forward? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Erin Levine, founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, to challenge the common misconceptions surrounding divorce and explore what it actually takes to have a good one. After nearly two decades as a family law attorney, Erin witnessed firsthand how the traditional legal system often creates unnecessary conflict, higher costs, and prolonged emotional distress. That experience inspired her to build a different approach—one that supports people through one of life's biggest transitions with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence. In This Episode, Nicole and Erin Discuss: The three legal steps every divorce requires. Why 95% of divorces are resolved through agreement rather than trial. Common misconceptions about the divorce process. State-by-state differences that can significantly impact divorce timelines. Why divorce should be viewed as a life transition—not just a legal proceeding. Erin's definition of a "good divorce" and what makes it possible. Why fear and anger often lead to poor decisions during divorce. The financial mistakes that frequently cost people thousands of dollars. The role divorce coaches, mediators, therapists, financial professionals, and real estate experts can play throughout the process. Practical conversations and ground rules couples can establish before filing for divorce. Common misconceptions surrounding custody arrangements. Important considerations when dividing real estate and retirement assets. Why the end of a marriage doesn't necessarily mean the relationship failed. Ultimately, the conversation reframes divorce as a process that can be navigated with clarity, dignity, and support rather than conflict. Thank you to our sponsors!

    CLASSIC EPISODE: How Is Your Spiritual Health? with Dr. Lisa Miller

    Spiritual health isn’t about following a specific religion, meditating on a mountaintop, or taking the sacrament (unless you want to do those things). It’s about something deeper—our connection to something greater than ourselves, our capacity for faith, and the hope that carries us through life’s challenges. Dr. Lisa Miller is a New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain. She’s a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute—the first Ivy League graduate program dedicated to the study of spirituality and psychology. Her groundbreaking research has been published in over 100 peer-reviewed articles, and she’s a sought-after speaker, working with the U.S. military, Fortune 500 companies, schools, and healthcare organizations to integrate spirituality into mental health and leadership. Spirituality isn’t just a belief system—it’s a proven driver of resilience, purpose, and well-being. In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How spiritual health impacts mental resilience and emotional well-being ✔️ The neuroscience behind spirituality and how it physically changes the brain ✔️ Why faith—whether in God, the universe, or your inner wisdom—makes you stronger ✔️ Practical ways to nurture your spiritual health (without needing a formal practice) Because here’s the truth: Whatever created you, lives within you—and that alone makes you inherently valuable, worthy, and powerful.

    JoySpan: A Smarter Way To Age Well (And Break Free From Anti-Aging Culture) with Dr. Kerry Burnight | 425

    What if the goal isn't to live longer—but to live better? In a world obsessed with anti-aging hacks, longevity supplements, biohacking, and looking younger, Dr. Kerry Burnight is offering a radically different perspective. A gerontologist, educator, and author of the New York Times bestselling book JoySpan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half, Dr. Kerry challenges the fear-based messaging that dominates the aging and wellness industries and invites us to focus on something much more meaningful: joy. In this conversation, Nicole and Dr. Kerry unpack what actually matters when it comes to healthy aging, longevity, purpose, confidence, connection, and fulfillment. They explore why society's obsession with youth may be distracting us from the very things that create a life worth living—and why growing older might be one of the greatest gifts we receive. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why the anti-aging industry profits from fear—and how to stop buying into it The difference between lifespan, healthspan, and Dr. Kerry's concept of "joyspan" What research says actually improves as we get older How purpose, meaning, friendship, and connection impact longevity Why confidence often increases with age The role of mindset in healthy aging and overall wellbeing How to overcome internalized ageism and embrace every stage of life Why joy isn't something you find—it's something you cultivate Practical ways to focus less on optimization and more on actually enjoying life Because at the end of the day, a meaningful life isn't built through endless optimization—it's built through the moments, relationships, and experiences that make us glad we're here.

    Stop Waiting For Permission: Did You Know You Can Just Do Things? with Cate Hall | 424

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of confidence, credentials, experience, or readiness? What if it's the invisible rules you've been following without ever questioning them? In this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, Nicole sits down with Cate Hall—former Supreme Court attorney, former #1 ranked female poker player in the world, biotech founder, former CEO of the Astera Institute, and author of You Can Just Do Things: How High Agency People Get What They Want Out of Life. Together, they unpack the concept of high agency, why successful people aren't waiting for permission, and how fear of rejection, failure, and embarrassment may be keeping you stuck. In This Episode We Discuss: What it means to be a high agency person Why most of the "rules" we follow are actually invisible agreements The art of getting what you don't deserve—and why that's a good thing How fear of rejection limits personal and professional growth… and why rejection is a necessary part of success Practical ways to build rejection tolerance The connection between identity and personal transformation How strengths can become weaknesses when taken too far The "moat of low status" and why people avoid being beginners Why women often struggle with looking inexperienced—and how to overcome it Cate's message is simple but powerful: you don't need more permission, more credentials, or more certainty.

    CLASSIC EPISODE: What Does a Woman Have to Do to Be Believed? Sexual Assault, Accountability & Double Standards with E. Jean Carrol

    When a powerful man says, “She’s not my type,” and a jury (actually, multiple juries) finds that man liable for sexual abuse and defamation, that’s not just a headline — that’s a masterclass in what it takes for a woman to be believed in America. In this episode, writer, journalist, and Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President author E. Jean Carroll joins Nicole to talk about truth, power, paperclips, and what actually happens when you drag a president into court and win. Twice. We talk about the facts, the stories we build around those facts, and why so many people will twist themselves into a pretzel to excuse powerful men while shredding women who speak up. We get into: What actually happened in court — beyond the headlines, hot takes, and Twitter warriors How clothes became her armor and why what she wore in court mattered more than you’d think The “not my type” moment, the infamous deposition photo, and how Trump accidentally proved his own lie Why her sexual history was dragged into the trial — and how she took back that narrative with joy Trauma responses, laughter in the dressing room, and why “if you didn’t scream it doesn’t count” is garbage How mock juries forced her legal team to reckon with ageism, beauty standards, and who we think is “believable” What she plans to do with the tens of millions awarded in damages — and why giving it away is part of her resistance strategy The big questions this case raises: What does a woman have to do to be believed? And what does a powerful man have to do to be held accountable?  Because this isn’t just E. Jean Carroll’s story. It’s a mirror held up to how we treat women, power, and truth — and a reminder that one 80-something woman can still change the story for all of us. Thank you to our sponsors!

    The Surprising History of Picky Eating & Raising Adventurous Eaters with Helen Zoe Veit | 423

    For generations, parents have been told that picky eating is normal, inevitable, and just part of raising kids. But what if that's not true? What if picky eating is actually a modern phenomenon—and one we've unintentionally created? In this episode, Nicole sits down with historian, professor, and author Helen Zoe Veit to explore the surprising history behind children's eating habits. Drawing from her book Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History, Helen reveals how kids once ate everything from bitter greens to spicy foods and why modern parenting, nutrition advice, convenience foods, and fear-based messaging may have changed that. Together, they unpack what parents can learn from history, how to build curiosity around food, and why confidence—not control—may be the missing ingredient at the dinner table. In This Episode We Discuss: Why picky eating is a relatively recent phenomenon in American history How children in the 19th century developed adventurous palates The role of nutrition science in changing children's diets Why modern parents feel so much pressure around food and feeding The difference between food neophobia and true picky eating How repeated exposure helps children learn to enjoy new foods Why separate "kids' meals" may be contributing to the problem The impact of snacks, convenience foods, and ultra-processed foods How confidence and consistency can transform family mealtimes The connection between food, curiosity, joy, and lifelong health This conversation is a powerful reminder that children may be capable of far more than we give them credit for—and that curiosity, resilience, and openness can all be nurtured one bite at a time.
