This week, I talked with my friend Christy Harrison, host of Food Psych and Rethinking Wellness, about becoming a mom for the second time. When I'm in the midst of a big change, I often go to her for advice. I've had the privilege of watching her evolve in her career and life with a level of poise I endlessly admire.

We talked about how both experiences of motherhood changed her relationship with ambition, why there's no one-size-fits-all formula when it comes to timelines and fertility, or how to return to work after a major life change. We also covered leaving social media, living with more nuance, and another kind of comeback—an ongoing one in my own life: eating disorder recovery.

As a registered dietitian and the author of Anti-Diet and The Wellness Trap, Christy is especially knowledgeable about this topic, so I loved getting to hear her take on recovery as a comeback to ourselves.

Let us know if you listen!

This week I spoke with Mimi Bouchard, founder of Activations. We covered neuroplasticity, habit stacking, trusting your intuition, why authenticity fuels innovation, and how Mimi grew her business through word of mouth and focusing on 10x opportunities instead of 2x improvements.

This week, I spoke with Grace Abbott, founder of How To Go Freelance, about turning the skills you already have into a career, and how to modernize an existing business or brand without blowing it all up.

We covered procrastination, niching down without shrinking yourself, making your work more visible, and knowing when to let go of clients, projects, and identities that have become too small. Grace also makes the case for trusting your soft skills, research, and taste in a changing job market and explains why sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and your next chapter is trying too hard to fix yourself.
