Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today.
From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's women, 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.
Because that is Woman's Work.

Lift Heavy, Live Long: Reclaiming Your Strength with Anne-Marie Chaker | 368
We’re getting unapologetically muscular today. Former Wall Street Journal reporter turned professional bodybuilder Anne-Marie Chaker joins us to talk about why women’s strength training is not a vanity play—it’s a longevity strategy, a confidence accelerator, and a rebellion against “shrink yourself” culture.
In this episode, we dig into:
🏋️♀️ Why strength training is self-care that actually works—and how lifting transforms more than your body
🧠 The mental health perks of moving heavy things (spoiler: it’s better than a bubble bath)
🚫 Breaking up with “skinny culture” and redefining beauty, power, and health on our own terms
💪 Motivation vs. discipline—how showing up matters more than feeling ready
👩👧 Raising the next generation to value strength over smallness and confidence over comparison
📚 Insights from Anne-Marie’s book Lift: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives—a call to take up more space, in every sense of the word.
This conversation is funny, real, and a powerful reminder that stronger is better than smaller—because it’s for you, not for them.
