Hey there! Launching December 16, What She Does is the podcast that spills the tea on surprisingly cool jobs – and the women behind them.

Each episode takes you inside a career journey, from the first spark to the unexpected twists that shaped it. You’ll hear the real stuff — how she got there, the detours and curveballs, the personality traits, the life lessons, and how her profession is evolving.

Think of it as part career confessional, part field guide to the modern world of work.

Join us to see what she does and whether it is something you might do next.

Lauren Winter didn't plan to land in digital advertising — but 15 years later, she's running the full operations engine at Vox Media, one of the most recognized names in modern media.

As Head of Operations, Advertising, Lauren oversees everything from pricing and planning to campaign execution and delivery — and she's currently building AI and automation into how her teams work every day.

In this episode, Lauren gets candid about what it took to grow from that first unexpected job into a senior leadership role, how she thinks about navigating massive industry shifts, and why being calm and solutions-oriented might be the most underrated career skill there is.

She also shares what she's learned about balancing work and raising three kids — and why her answer to 'how do you do it all?' is always the same.

Career coaching sounds simple until you realize how much it's actually about trust, resilience, and learning to advocate for yourself.

In this episode, we sit down with Masha Finn, a career coach at Merit America, who works with people navigating major career transitions — from resume building and interview prep to handling rejection and entering industries that have historically felt inaccessible.

Masha shares what career coaching really looks like day-to-day, why it's a partnership rather than a shortcut, and how AI is reshaping the way candidates present themselves — for better and for worse.

Whether you're re-entering the workforce, switching industries, or just trying to understand what's happening with your job search right now — this episode offers honest, grounded perspective from someone working on the front lines every day.
