This week, I sat down with Cosmic RX founder Madi Murphy. I met her when I wandered into the coffee shop she owned in Brooklyn nearly a decade ago, and since then, she’s launched her own show, The Cosmic RX, published her first book, and started a family.

Madi’s comeback began when she decided to leave behind her brick-and-mortar businesses, stepping out of her comfort zone and into what she calls the “Cosmic Zone.” We talk about her trademark dispute with Starbucks over a drink she created, the public backlash that followed, and how that experience ultimately became the catalyst for greater confidence, visibility, and a completely different life path. Plus, she breaks down Saturn cycles and transits, the importance of embodiment over endlessly consuming information, and trusting your own timing.

This week's conversation is with musician and writer Greta Morgan.

Greta spent years touring professionally, including with Vampire Weekend, before losing her singing voice after developing a rare neurological voice disorder. We talk about grief, identity, creativity, silence, what healing actually means, and how sometimes the comeback isn't getting your old life back, it's building a new one you never would have planned.

This conversation is thoughtful, grounding, and one I'll be thinking about for a long time. Let us know if you listen.

This week, I'm re-airing a conversation from the archives with designer Norma Kamali, whose 50-year career is as rich as her designs are iconic — and who, fittingly for the COMEBACKS SERIES, lost her entire company and built it all back. We get into her thoughts on her evolving industry, upcoming generations, falling in love at 65, and why experience is your greatest asset. She gently gives me advice, and shares the motto that's carried her through building her career more than once: The more you do, the more you can do.
