This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

By: Nicole Kalil Bleav
  • Summary

  • Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

  • The Icelandic Art of Intuition with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir | 307
    May 7 2025

    We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times. Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing.

    Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop.

    In This Episode, We Cover:
    ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it
    ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle
    ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing
    ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making
    ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power)

    Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

  • Perfectionist Burnout with Dr. Tiffany Moon | 306
    May 5 2025

    Let’s be real: some of us aren’t just experiencing burnout—we’re perfecting it. Overachieving our way into exhaustion. Piling on responsibilities like it’s an Olympic sport. And believing that if we just get it right enough, peace and happiness will magically follow.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, CEO, speaker, entrepreneur, wine and candle maker (yes, really), and reality TV alum—basically a walking resume of overachievement. But she’s also someone who knows what it feels like to chase perfection at the expense of joy—and how to break free from it.

    Her book, Joy Prescriptions, explores the cost of perfectionism and what it really takes to reclaim your happiness. Together, we’re talking burnout, boundaries, high-achieving pressure, and how to stop proving your worth through productivity.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    ✅ What perfectionist burnout really looks like (and why it’s so sneaky)

    ✅ The hidden cost of tying your identity to achievement

    ✅ Why rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement

    ✅ Practical ways to redefine success without burning out

    If you’re tired of proving, pushing, or performing your way to “enough”—this one’s for you.

  • Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You: The New Hormone Solution with Dr. Erika Schwartz | 305
    Apr 30 2025

    Feeling exhausted, anxious, bloated, foggy, or just off—and being told “it’s normal” because you’re aging or just a woman? Yeah, no. It’s not normal. And it’s definitely not something you have to accept.

    In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Dr. Erika Schwartz, a pioneer in bio-identical hormone therapy and founder of Evolved Science, where she’s flipping traditional medicine on its outdated, symptom-chasing head. With over 30 years of experience, eight best-selling books, and a global reputation for helping people reclaim their health, Dr. Erika is here to tell us: your hormones matter. And ignoring them could be the reason you feel like garbage—even if all your labs come back “normal.”

    We’re talking real solutions, not band-aids. Actual prevention, not prescriptions. And a whole new way of thinking about what your body needs to thrive—especially as you age.

    In This Episode, We Cover:
    ✅ Why traditional medicine is failing women—especially around hormones
    ✅ The truth about hormone imbalance (and how to fix it)
    ✅ What bio-identical hormone therapy really is—and why it matters
    ✅ Signs your hormones are out of whack (that your doctor might miss)
    ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that often won’t
    ✅ What true health optimization looks like (spoiler: not another pill)

    It’s time to stop accepting exhaustion as a fact of life and start demanding answers—and better care. Because your hormones aren’t the problem. They’re the starting point to feeling like yourself again.
