About the Show
What W.I.S.E. Was About
W.I.S.E. began as a series of long conversations with women who had built something — a career, a body of work, a life they had chosen — and who were willing to talk honestly about what it cost.
The episodes run long on purpose. Most sit between forty minutes and an hour and a half, because the interesting part of a story usually arrives after the polished version has been told.
Season One closed in 2020. Rosie's current show, The Radically Well Podcast, carries the same approach into conversations about perimenopause, mental health and midlife.

Where to Go From Here
