Women Walking
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.
