Is having a Stay-at-Home Husband the Secret to Success?
+
What to do when Productivity becomes Toxic!

Hi everyone! I've been knee deep in closing out some big things for my CMO role (brand launches in Q1) before the holidays which meant I was traveling for 14 days straight.

So this week you get a holiday special: 2 episodes for the price of 1!

First, I traveled to Starbucks HQ to chat with my good friend and Chief Brand Officer of Starbucks, Tressie Lieberman to talk about breaking down the traditional gender roles and having a stay-at-home husband. She talked candidly about the trade offs and judgement she's faced but also how it's been a huge part of her success.

Then you will hear my convo with author Israa Nasir, a psychotherapist and founder of WellGuide, who has cultivated a dedicated following of over 350,000 across social media for her honest and evidence-based approach to mental health and productivity. We’ll be talking about what really drives toxic productivity, why contentment feels so threatening in a hustle culture, and how reclaiming inconvenience, community, and rest might be the most radical moves we can make today.

Grab some hot cocoa and turn these on as you wrap presents!

​Check out these episodes and let me know what you think.
