| 6/16/26 | ![]() EP 88: Quitting The WSJ: Tech Journalist Joanna Stern on Her Year Embracing A.I. and Joining The Creator Economy | Imagine willingly opening up your life to as much A.I. as possible. Have a question? Ask A.I. first. Feeling blue? Talk to an A.I. therapist. Need a ride? Summon a Waymo. In journalist Joanna Stern’s New York Times bestseller “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” she did all of the above and more. She shares what's hopeful, what’s creepy, and how A.I. is already in your life, whether you like it or not. As she worked on her book in 2025, she was also facing another big question: whether or not to quit her job of 12 years at the Wall Street Journal. She was weighing the pros and cons of leaving legacy media and making the leap to the creator economy as an independent journalist - and would it pay off. She even asked A.I. for its input. For the record: A.I. said she should make the move - and she ultimately agreed. She is now CEO - Chief Everything Officer - of her new venture: New Things. There, she does what she does best: producing humorous videos and writing (in this case, a newsletter) all about the latest in tech. 💬 In this episode, we explore: How A.I. is already in our lives, whether by invasion or by invitation Why Joanna believes the pushback to A.I. is a good thing Her experience with an A.I. therapist and an A.I. boyfriend Why A.I. robots are not yet fully capable of taking over chores like cooking and cleaning How she approached the difficult decision to leave the Wall Street Journal and how she views that move now The challenges and rewards of being her own boss and running her own venture, New Things Resources: 📸 Follow Joanna Stern on Instagram 📸 Follow Joanna Sternn on LinkedIn 💻 Check out New Things 💻 Watch New Things Videos on YouTube 🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.

| 2/17/26 | ![]() EP 75: Sesame Workshop CEO Sherrie Westin: Leading The Drive To Keep Elmo & Friends Entertaining & Educating Kids | For Sesame Workshop CEO Sherrie Westin, there’s one question that rises above the rest. “Is Sesame going to be here for the next generation of children?” Making sure favorites like Elmo, Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, and Grover continue their work educating kids is a responsibility she takes very seriously. Over the past year, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind the 56-year-old global phenomenon, faced what Westin called a “perfect storm.” There were federal funding cuts, the end of a distribution deal with Discovery / HBO Max, and the need to downsize the organization. Westin has guided Sesame Workshop through this moment with a determination to keep Sesame’s core mission of making kids “smarter, stronger and kinder” front and center. This season of Sesame Street kicked off a new distribution deal with Netflix and PBS, along with a greater focus on its philanthropic efforts. In our conversation, Westin shared her thoughts on Sesame's past and future, how her experience at ABC News and The White House influenced her leadership style, and how becoming a mother through the adoption of her daughter, Lily, profoundly changed her life. 💬 In this episode, we explore: Sherrie Westin’s path to CEO of Sesame Workshop, and what made her finally decide to throw her hat into the ring The global reach of Sesame Workshop and its work to support young children The impact of that famous 2024 tweet from Elmo asking, “How is everybody doing?" What it’s like being “co-workers” with Oscar, Grover, Bert, Ernie, and more Westin’s favorite memories of celebrities who have visited Sesame Street Her advice for college graduates How she and her husband, David Westin, manage a busy, two-career household Resources: 🔗 Visit Sesme Workshop 📸 Follow Sherrie Westin on LinkedIn 📸 Follow Sesame Workshop On Instagram 📸 Follow Sesame Street On TikTok 🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.

| 2/10/26 | ![]() EP 74: JPMorgan Chase’s Kristin Lemkau: Professional Ambition, Personal Loss & Feeling “Unstoppable” | Kristin Lemkau was thriving in her job as CMO of JPMorgan Chase, a job she thought would be her last, when CEO Jamie Dimon and his leadership team threw a new challenge her way. They wanted the company to become more competitive in the wealth management space, and offered Lemkau the job as CEO of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. Despite some significant hurdles that would come with building the business, Lemkau took on the role in late 2019. A few years into this professional challenge, she experienced a tectonic shift in her personal life. Lemkau’s husband, who had stayed at home with their two children, passed away. Overnight, she became a single mom. She found herself trying to figure out all the details of the family’s day-to-day life that he had handled, from multiple school apps, household bills, her kids’ sports schedule, and more. After taking some time off, her two teenagers encouraged her to return to work, where she thrived. Under her leadership. J.P. Morgan Wealth Management has grown from $500 billion to $1.3 trillion dollars in assets, an accomplishment she confidently takes credit for. ”What I've done over the past six years was really, really hard.I genuinely believe a lot of people couldn't have done it. We had a lot of headwinds, but we did it,” Lemkau said. 💬 In this episode, we explore: Why Kristin Lemkau said “yes” to the CEO job, despite really “loving” her marketing job and the people she worked with Lemkau’s approach to re-making and growing the wealth management business How her personal loss has impacted the way she manages her team Her secret for getting a full-night’s sleep, and why that’s been so critical for her well-being Her thoughts on being the oldest of four very high-achieving siblings, and what about their upbringing may have helped them all to succeed Some of the perks of working at JPMorgan, including being front and center for one of the wildest US Open Women’s Finals ever Resources: 🔗 Visit J.P.

| 2/3/26 | ![]() EP 73: ULTA Beauty CEO Kecia Steelman: From An Hourly Job At Target To Leading The Largest Beauty Retailer in the U.S. | Kecia Steelman was a 20-year-old single mom living in government housing when she faced a realization: if she wanted a better life, it was up to her. She became determined to find a job where she could learn and grow. From the men’s department at Target, she buckled down, worked holidays and weekends, and transformed what started as an $8 an hour gig into something much more. She built a career path that would lead her to become one of the most powerful women in the beauty business. On this episode of How She Does It, Kecia opens up about her first year as CEO at ULTA Beauty, the country’s largest beauty retailer. With 30 years of retail experience, including almost five years as ULTA Beauty’s COO, she was able to take on this new challenge and “hit the ground running.” From expanding the brand into international markets to working closely with brand founders like Beyoncé, Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton, and more, the company has seen growth across both their e-commerce and retail sales. 💬 In this episode, we explore: Kecia’s rollout of ULTA Beauty’s most recent strategy, from the C-Suite to the employees on the sales floor The approach Kecia takes when it comes to setting expectations for Wall Street What her “best day” and “worst day” working in retail look like The three factors Kecia looks for when making a new hire What happens when Kecia visits an Ulta Beauty store unannounced The profound way Kecia’s mother inspired her Resources: 🔗 Visit Ulta.com 📸 Follow Kecia Steelman on Instagram 📸 Follow Kecia Steelman on LinkedIn 📸 Follow Ulta Beauty on Instagram 🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() EP 72: Responding To Change: Maya Shankar On Finding Your “Why” When Facing An Unexpected Detour | We’re all likely to encounter some change in life that’s unwelcome: a scary health diagnosis, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or the end of a dream. Maya Shankar, PhD, deeply understands the concept of change and offers a roadmap for navigating it. She is a cognitive scientist and Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google. But she is perhaps best known for her side gig: being the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans. Her fascination with how we navigate change started when she was a teen, and a hand injury forced her to give up her dream of becoming a professional violinist. In this episode, Maya speaks with Karen about that first pivot as well as some difficult challenges she faced later, and how she has built a successful career teaching others how to learn from the unexpected. It’s all in her New York Times Bestseller, “The Other Side Of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans.” 💬 In this episode, we explore: Maya’s biggest piece of advice for transitioning through change: finding your “why” Tools that can be helpful during the most difficult periods of change How Maya’s mother taught her the importance of the cold call / cold email (or, in her mom’s case, the cold drop-by-Julliard) Maya’s view of imposter syndrome and how one can leverage it into becoming better at your job Resources:🔗 Visit Dr. Maya Shankar’s website 📕 For Information on “The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans.” 📸 Follow Maya Shakar on Instagram 📸 Follow Maya Shakar on X 🎧 Listen to A Slight Change of Plans 📸 Follow Riverhead Books on Instagram 🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.

| 1/20/26 | ![]() EP 71: Tradwife Or Career Woman: Corinne Low on On Ambition, Kids & Equality | “I don’t sweep the floor with my uterus,” asserts Corinne Low, Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania. It’s a stark statement, but her underlying point is to urge men and women to re-examine gender roles around the work needed to maintain a home and family: cooking, cleaning, making the kids’ doctor’s appointments, and so on. Low was on the tenure track when her first marriage fell apart. She was overwhelmed with her job, a bad commute, a new infant, and housework. She was the higher earner of the couple, and the division of labor at home felt way too lopsided. So she used her know-how as an economist to study the data on how men and women divide tasks at home and develop strategies for how couples can create a system that’s fair. Today, Low is a tenured professor and is remarried to a woman. (She notes that it is not a prescription for everyone, but it works for her.) She writes about her research and her experience in HAVING IT ALL: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours, which is a USA Today National Best Seller and an Amazon Best Nonfiction Book of the Year. 💬 In this episode, we explore: How to approach a conversation with a partner about re-allocating work around the house Why parents today are feeling “the squeeze” - when time pressures and money pressures hit at the same time - more than previous generations. What concerns Low about the “tradwife” trend Questions to ask yourself about your career path to determine if it’s compatible with the life you want outside of work Why a job with “boundaries” is better for women than a job with “flexibility.” 🔗 Visit Corinne Low’s website 📕 Find out more about Corinne Low’s book: HAVING IT ALL 📸 Follow Corinne Low on Instagram 📸 Follow Corinne Low on Substack 📸 Follow Corinne Low on LinkedIn 📸 Follow the show on Instagram: @hsdipodcast🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.

After serving as Secretary of Commerce during the Biden administration, Gina Raimondo is now taking time to consider what her next move will look like.

| 12/23/25 | ![]() EP 69: Angie Hicks, The Introvert Entrepreneur | Selling subscriptions door-to-door. It was difficult work and a worst-case scenario for Angie Hicks, a self-proclaimed introvert. Straight out of college, Hicks went to work with a former boss from an internship to help launch a new business. The idea: create a resource of home repair and renovation service providers curated by customers, along with reviews. They called it Angie’s List. Now, 30 years later, the company known today as Angi is a billion-dollar brand. Angie Hicks built the foundation of the company, signing customers up one at a time and creating her famous list of service providers from scratch. Since then, she’s had a front row seat as the company has evolved from a subscription-based newsletter to an online platform that has helped 150 million people maintain, repair, and resonate their homes, as well as supported the growth of hundreds of thousands of small local businesses. 💬 In this episode, we explore: Angie’s advice for hiring the right pro to do work in your home and avoid having your project turn into a nightmare How Angie managed angry service providers who would call and yell at her after a poor review The quality that she thinks makes her a great businessperson, despite her inclination toward being an introvert Why every week she makes time to speak directly with customers and service providers Her experience going to Harvard Business School, and why she chose to return to Angie’s List once she finished The reason her husband opted to be a stay-at-home dad with their two kids, and how that impacted Angie’s approach to her career 🔗 Check out Angi.com 📸 Follow @Angi on Instagram 📸 Follow Angie Hicks on Instagram 📸 Follow Angie Hicks on LinkedIn 💻Watch episodes on HOW SHE DOES IT on our YouTube Page Learn more about your ad choices.

| 12/16/25 | ![]() EP 68: Calm Under Extreme Pressure: Astronaut Sunita Williams On Her Unexpected Extended Stay On The International Space Station | Talk about a tough day at work. NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were the first to fly the Boeing Starliner into space in June of 2024. The plan for the test mission was to pilot the new spacecraft into orbit, dock with the International Space Station for 8 days, and return home. But when the two astronauts first attempted to approach the ISS, five of the Starliner’s critical thrusters failed for a time, and the astronauts were in the unenviable position of piloting a potentially unreliable spacecraft. Their story grabbed headlines around the world. After successfully docking with ISS, the decision was made to return the Starliner unmanned and have the astronauts stay aboard the ISS until they could be returned safely. That decision extended their stay to 286 days in space, and they finally returned to Earth in March of 2025. It’s the type of high-stakes situation Sunita Williams, who goes by Suni, has trained for much of her professional life. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S Naval Test Pilot School, she has spent years learning how to calmly solve potentially life-threatening problems in air and spacecraft. It’s the type of work that underscores the importance of collaborating well with others, doing your homework, and trusting your team. 💬 In this episode, we explore: Highlights of Suni’s three missions to the ISS, including how she sleeps, exercises, and showers in space How her career proved to be a series of unexpected pivots, how she handled it, and her advice to young women starting out Why she never felt “stranded” on the ISS and remained convinced that she & Butch Wilmore would eventually return home to Earth safely What’s involved in the high-pressure task of space walks, and the awe-inspiring sights she witnessed What her plans are for the future, and her thoughts on sending crews to the Moon and to Mars. 🔗 Check out NASA.gov 📸 Follow @NASA on Instagram 📸 Follow Suni Williams on X 🔗 Check out info on NASA Expedition 72 & Expedition 71 💻Video of Suni Williams & Butch Wilmore working & exercising on the ISS 💻Video of Suni Williams & Butch Wilmore on a spacewalk on November 12, 2024 💻Video of Suni Wiliams & Butch Wilmore’s return to Earth on March 18, 2025 💻Watch episodes on HOW SHE DOES IT on our YouTube Page 📸 Follow the show on Instagram: @hsdipodcast🎧 New episodes of How She Does It drop every Tuesday.
