Everyone thinks Christy Carlson Romano had a storybook career. That she just sprang into Disney Channel stardom overnight, made millions, and lived happily after. Spoiler alert, she didn’t! There were countless failures along the way and there still are. The Vulnerable Podcast is an invitation to hang out every week with Christy as she invites friends, celebrities, and experts for in-depth conversations discussing the good, the complicated, the beauty of being human, and what it means to be vulnerable. Join Christy every Tuesday as we navigate the ups and downs of her guests’ paths to success.

Today on Vulnerable, I geek out with my favorite aerospace engineer Emily Calandrelli AKA The Space Gal. Emily shares her journey to becoming an Emmy-nominated science TV host and author.
Growing up in the coal mine country of West Virginia, Emily was looking for a sustainable future and decided to pursue engineering. Amid her education, she fell in love with aerospace engineering and the different avenues she was able to educate and raise awareness. Today, Emily is the Host and Co-Executive Production of Emily’s Wonder Lab on Netflix AND Host and Executive Producer of Fox’s Xploration Outer Space. Emily, through her writing and speaking events, wants to inspire more females to pursue STEM careers.
Brendan and I got to ask Emily all of our space and education-related questions as Emily has been a source of inspiration to our own daughters. Emily shares how she has navigated being a female in a male-dominated industry and why this new era of space exploration and tourism is out of this world!
Emily is a shooting star of inspiration. This episode highlights how you can create your own unique career despite industry standards.
