Most of us have watched a massive cargo ship glide effortlessly into port without giving it a second thought. But before that ship reaches the dock, someone climbs from a small pilot boat onto a rope ladder hanging from the side of the moving vessel—often in darkness, rough seas, or bad weather—to help guide it safely into harbor. That person is a harbor pilot. In this episode of Good Things…
Most of us read books, articles, websites, and training materials every day without ever thinking about the people behind the scenes who make them clear, consistent, and easy to understand. This week, I'm joined by freelance editor Joni McNeal , who pulls back the curtain on a profession many of us know almost nothing about. Joni explains what editors actually do (it's much more than fixing…
Show Notes What does it take to walk into a room full of suffering and keep showing up? In this episode of Real Women's Work , I revisit a conversation with Carolyn Flynn, a registered nurse who spent ten years caring for critically ill children in a pediatric burn unit.

We talk all day long. At work. At home. With friends, colleagues, strangers. But how often are we actually communicating ? In this episode, I sit down with communication consultant Dee Dee Fisher to explore a powerful (and slightly uncomfortable) idea: many of our conversations aren't actually exchanging information at all. We're reacting. We're making assumptions. We're talking—but not…
What do you say to someone who's grieving? Most of us don't know. So we send flowers. We drop off food. And then… we disappear. Today's guest, Kelly Edmondson, is here to change that. Kelly is a nurse executive, grief counselor, and founder of Timely Presence—a service created after the death of her son, Darius. Through her own experience of profound loss, she's learned something most of us never…
This episode is part of Podcasthon , a global podcasting event spotlighting meaningful causes and stories that matter. What happens when fear becomes belief—and belief becomes certainty? In this episode, I speak with Kathryn Rutkowski, president of the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, about one of the most devastating stories from the Salem witch trials. Rebecca Nurse was a 71-year-old woman, deeply…

In this episode of Real Women's Work , Jen Keefe sits down with Laura Cleminson , a death doula and founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club , where people gather to talk openly about mortality, dying, and what matters most in life.
