Ordinarily Extraordinary Podcast

We’re Kathy Nelson and Linda LaTourelle — co-hosts of Ordinarily Extraordinary: Conversations with Women in STEM.

Kathy, an electrical engineer, launched the podcast in 2020 to share unfiltered, real-life stories of women across STEM disciplines. With 130+ episodes and counting, our mission is to amplify the voices of ordinary women doing extraordinary work in science, technology, engineering, and math.

From early-career engineers to seasoned leaders, our guests share how they got started, what challenges they’ve overcome, and what they've learned along the way. We're proud to offer a space where women can be seen, heard, and supported — because representation isn’t just powerful, it’s essential.
