Description
Women Walking is a collection of conversations with women who are in the middle of something — a transition, a reckoning, a beginning, an ending. Hosted by Debbie Ventimiglia and Courtney Park-Jamborsky, the show sits at the intersection of movement and meaning: what shifts inside us when life asks us to change.
Each episode is a walk alongside someone who’s figuring things out in real time. No polished “after” stories. No tidy arcs. Just honest talk about identity, work, relationships, grief, joy, and the small decisions that move us forward.
If you want stories that feel like a deep breath and a long walk with someone who gets it, this is your place.

After decades covering political transitions, conflict zones, and everyday human stories, Sonya's career was abruptly cut short when her news agency underwent major changes, leading ...
Share your thoughts or leave me a voicemail Retired Navy Vice Admiral Nancy LaCore joins me for a conversation about the chapters that shape us, the ones we choose and the ones that arrive without warning. After 35 years of service—including deployments to Afghanistan and Djibouti, raising six children in a dual‑military family, and ultimately serving as Chief of Navy Reserve—Nancy’s career ended abruptly in August 2025 when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth removed her from her post without cau...
Share your thoughts or leave me a voicemail This week on Women Walking, I’m talking with Mara Bolis — a Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, where she studies how AI is reshaping women’s lives — about the unexpected pivot that brought her into this work, and why women’s voices matter so much in this moment. I first met Mara during a season when my own life felt like it had cracked open — grief, job loss, and the strange quiet of figuring out who I was again. Then I walked into a room ful...
