    2x Olympic Gold Medalist in Bobsleigh and World Rugby Hall of Famer Teaches Us How to Trailblaze and Create Our Own Path, with Heather Moyse (Replay)

    Heather Moyse is a 2x Olympic gold medalist (who competed in 4 Olympics games), a three-sport national athlete, a World Rugby Hall of Famer, a motivational speaker, an author, and a coach. Heather started training just five months before her first Olympics at the age of 27 in 2-person bobsleigh, with her last Olympic competition at the age of 39. In this episode, she shares specific techniques and mindset work that she uses to achieve her goals and that we all can use to help us live up to our potential. Heather won gold at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, and again at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. Before she was an Olympic champion, she was a mainstay on Canada’s Senior Women’s Rugby Team.  Heather led Canada to silver in the 2013 Rugby Sevens World Cup, and was the top try scorer in the 2006 and 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cups. In 2016, Heather became only the second Canadian, and first Canadian female, to be inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Heather represented Canada in a third international sport in 2012, when she placed Top Five in two events at the Pan-Am Track Cycling Championships in Argentina. Send Julie a text!!

    CEO of Public Benefits Corporation Brings Mission-Driven Aid to Communities in Response to Public Health Emergencies, Natural Disasters, and Financial Hardships, with Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit

    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. Her unique ability to combine storytelling skills with her deep love for math and data allow her to lead and demonstrate both necessity and efficacy in a powerful way.  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. Her undergraduate degree is in applied mathematics, and she has a graduate degree in epigenetics.

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

    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.

    Water Gilding Artist Celebrates Women's Strength, Resilience, and Power with 24k Gold, with Shirley Yang Crutchfield

    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

    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.

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

    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!
