Working Girl
In a world on fire, Working Girl brings you the stories of women who refuse to look away — and choose to do the work.
Hosted by activist Rachel Mpala, this podcast spotlights women working in the trenches of social justice and nonprofit sectors: from fighting gun violence and homelessness to defending abortion access, dismantling racism, and navigating America’s broken systems.
Each week, we go beyond headlines and job titles to ask:
- What does it really take to stay in the fight for justice — without burning out?
- How do these women protect their joy while doing some of the hardest work in America?
- And how can you support them?
Expect raw conversations, practical insights, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be a woman working at the intersection of purpose, pain, and power.
This isn’t corporate career advice anymore.
It’s a reckoning — and a rally cry.
Topics include: women in nonprofits, activism, burnout, social justice, gender equity, homelessness, gun violence, reproductive rights, healthcare, racism, prison reform, immigration, human rights, education, xenophobia, trans rights, veterans, feminism, progressive leadership

Season 1 (OLD FORMAT) - The Power of Communication at Work with Adrianna Muñoz
This episode is part of our first season, which focused on gender bias in the corporate world. The show has since evolved to focus on women on the front lines of social justice.
In this week’s episode, I’m talking to our very first expert guest – Adrianna Muñoz, a communication coach and founder of Fearless Communicator.
We talk about the importance of effective communication in the workplace, especially when it comes to addressing gender bias and fostering a positive work environment.
Adrianna highlights the significance of setting boundaries, being assertive, and seeking support from female allies and mentors. On top of that, she shares her favorite strategies for overcoming self-doubt and fear of confrontation.
Don’t miss this must-listen episode where we not only discuss empowering women to use their voices, but also building strong relationships, and cultivating a positive work environment through intentional and confident communication.
