Ordinarily Extraordinary - Conversations with women in STEM
We’re Kathy Kale Nelson and Linda LaTourelle — co-hosts of Ordinarily Extraordinary: Conversations with Women in STEM.
Our mission is to amplify the voices of ordinary women doing extraordinary work in science, technology, engineering, and math.
We’re deeply committed to:
- Normalizing the presence of women in STEM by making their stories visible
- Building community for women who may be the only ones like them in their workplace
- Educating listeners about the wide variety of STEM careers — and what they actually look like
- Empowering growth and retention by addressing the challenges behind the leaky pipeline
From early-career professionals to experienced leaders in a wide variety of STEM fields, our guests share how they got started, how they’ve grown, and what they’ve learned along the way. This podcast is a space where women in STEM can be seen, heard, and supported — because representation isn’t just powerful, it’s essential.

113. Kathy Kale Nelson - Show Up, Sign Up, Speak Up, Give a Hand Up
This is a recording from a keynote speech I gave at a women in energy forum in 2017.
I talk about the importance of:
- Showing up - especially as your authentic self
- Signing up, or just say "yes" if an opportunity comes up
- Speaking up - use your voice, even when it shakes
- Giving a hand up - to women who come behind you - we need to support each other.
Music used in the podcast: Higher Up, Silverman Sound Studio
