I am a professional pilot with charter, corporate and airline experience (still flying ), and a professional athlete who managed an all-woman professional skydiving team for over 14 years. I have flown small planes and big planes, I have participated in world record skydiving attempts, I have jumped off cliffs and bridges, I delivered twins (one of them a breach), and I have raised a family by myself. (that’s a lie, every mother knows, it takes a village, and I have had an amazing one)

I am now pursuing the next chapter in my life with my blog, podcast,  and my book, still in progress, by the same name. This has been one of the biggest challenges of my life and I am enjoying every single second of it.

Another Empty Kitchen?

The gravely voices came loud and clear over the airwaves, deep and dark and said, “another empty kitchen”. What was that about?, I wondered. I heard it several times, before I queried a captain I was flying with, “What does that mean?”

The gravely voices came loud and clear over the airwaves, deep and dark and said, “another empty kitchen”. What was that about?, I wondered. I heard it several times, before I queried a captain I was flying with, “What does that mean?”

He responded, “Well, you’re a woman, you probably left a husband and kids back home, and you took a job from a man.” Are you fricking kidding me! I was shocked and at that moment, my future became clear. I would write a book about my experiences as a mother, a wife (or an ex-wife as it ended up) and a woman pilot. The book would be called “Another Empty Kitchen.”

We are spreading the word that we can work our asses off, achieve our dreams, have children or take care of elderly parents, and share our stories with other women who might be questioning what they are doing with their lives.

An unconventional childhood and a “never give up attitude” combined with extreme flexibility have led Ivanka Farrell on a journey of upward mobility as well as a front row seat to some of the most important people and campaigns of the past 2 decades. 


Currently, Ivanka leads a large team at Bully Pulpit International (BPI), an outcomes agency at the intersection of business, politics snd policy. 


In this interview Ivanka shares her story of courage, persistence, and growth from Jersey to DC and now Houston. Celebrating 15 years at BPI, and a new marriage, Ivanka’s positive attitude and fearlessness in taking care of her team and her family exhibit all the characteristics of a born leader. It has been my pleasure to have Ivanka on AEK, and I am honored to share her story. 


You can find Ivanka on LinkedIn, where she has recently published her newsletter, “No One Else Wants To Say Thus” , on influence, culture, and advertising. Check it out!
