Throughout our careers, it's easy to wonder – will the view be worth the climb?

To discuss, we brought on one of the world's leading female professional rock and ice climbers Majka Burhardt. After she learned she was having twins, she had to reconsider her risky climbing career in the face of responsibility.

Based on the letters and journals Majka diligently kept over the course of six years into parenthood, her book More: Life on the Edge of Adventure and Motherhood, takes us on a incredible journey as she explores the identity-shifting experience of motherhood. Join us as we define what “more” means to us.

JJ Virgin is living proof we have no idea of what we’re capable of. 

As a celebrity health expert, you may have seen her on Dr. Phil, TODAY, Rachael Ray, and more.

On our 50th episode (woah), she tells us about her book, Warrior Mom, which details how she courageously overcame the worst moment of her life – her son’s life threatening and tragic accident.

Her challenges revealed this truth, “Inside every mother is a fierce, resilient, intuitive woman who has the ability to tap into an indomitable mindset and create heroic outcomes—for her children, her family, her community and for herself—she is a Warrior Mom.”

Tune in to hear her powerful story and learn how to tap into your inner strength.

Sometimes, hearing the worst advice is the best thing that will ever happen to us. For Kelly Scheib, Chief People Officer at Crunchbase, a former employer once told her, “When you’re here, you’re an employee, and when you’re at home, you’re a mother.”

Rightfully ignoring this remark, Kelly set out to create a family-friendly workplace, one that honors the non-negotiables of parenting. As a parent of five and foster mom, she tells us her emotional story of how she built her family in tandem with her career, and inspires women to rewrite their self-limiting beliefs.
