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.
Because that is Woman's Work.

Why “Rewirement” Beats Retirement (and How to Do It Right) with Anne Chow | 350
We’re not dreaming about a finish line—we’re designing our next chapter. In this conversation with trailblazer Anne Chow (former CEO of AT&T Business, board director, author of Lead Bigger), we unpack “rewirement”: the smarter, saner, more sovereign way to approach life after (and beyond) traditional work.
What we get into:
The origin story of “rewirement” (engineer-brain meets real-life evolution)
How to reflect with brutal honesty: strengths, energy-giving work, environments you thrive in, and the ones you loathe
The unsexy (but essential) life needs: money, healthcare, caregiving, and lifestyle non-negotiables
Why your research + seed-planting should start before you exit (network while your platform is loud)
Building a portfolio life (boards, teaching, books, consulting, play) and letting serendipity do its thing
Identity shifts after big titles—how to navigate the “who am I without the logo?” wobble
Community > everything: social connection as a longevity strategy
Partner alignment: designing a shared vision (and yes, more time together can be… an adjustment)
The metrics that actually matter: joy and fulfillment (not just status and spreadsheets)
Retirement isn’t the end—it’s your next evolution. This is your permission slip to stop chasing finish lines and start rewiring for joy, fulfillment, and a life that actually feels like yours.
