Female Fridays
On Female Fridays, we go beyond the résumé to reveal the real stories of women leading with courage, complexity, and heart.
Hosted by Rachel Keller — a journalist at heart and a Vice President by trade — this podcast features unfiltered conversations with extraordinary women in healthcare, senior living, entrepreneurship, and beyond.
These are the stories behind the titles: breaking glass ceilings, navigating imposter syndrome, redefining power, and building legacy on their own terms.
If you're craving deeper, more human stories of leadership — the doubt, the pivots, the quiet wins — you’re in the right place.
Because true leadership was never just a title.
Tune in each Friday for real talk, emotional insight, and the truth behind what it really takes to lead.

She Jumped Out of Airplanes and Negotiated Million-Dollar Deals: Then Motherhood Brought Her to Her Knees. The Truth About Ambition & Motherhood with Priya Rednam-Waldo
She jumped out of airplanes. Negotiated million-dollar public health deals. Graduated from Johns Hopkins.
But when it came time to start her family, Priya Rednam-Waldo thought: how hard could a baby be?
In this episode of Female Fridays, I sit down with Priya, a former Army officer, licensed perinatal therapist, and founder of Healing Home Counseling Group, a 7-figure practice supporting mothers and families.
Priya opens up about her journey from West Point to postpartum, including traumatic pregnancies, adoption, and the identity shifts that shook her as a high-achieving woman.
Together, we dive into:
✨ The biggest lies we’ve been told about motherhood and career
✨ Why even top executives, surgeons, and founders struggle to feel worthy of support
✨ The truth behind buzzwords like work-life balance and work-life integration
✨ What it looks like to build your “motherhood playbook” before the storm hits
✨ How guilt, ambition, and invisible labor show up long after the newborn phase
And for the first time, I’m bringing your voices in. I asked Priya the questions you sent me about balancing ambition and caregiving, traveling for work while parenting, and how to truly support mothers — even if you’re not one yourself.
Whether you’re a mom, a leader, or someone who simply cares about mothers, this is a conversation I think you’ll carry with you.
