This week, we're sitting down with Sabina Hitchen, founder of Press for Success and mom to a seven-year-old in Portland, Maine. Sabina shares what it's like to wake by 5am for a solo walk that doubles as her idea generator, run a PR company with her husband (who she hired away from his own media career), and touch an actual tree before she can stop being "PR Sabina" for the day.

This week, we're sitting down with Barbara Mighdoll, owner and CEO of MNT Studio — the first wellness social club combining Pilates, co-working, sauna, and childcare — who also runs the marketing agency behind her brand New Modern Mom and just co-founded Roam Collective, a family sabbatical company. Barbara shares what it's like to grow one Pilates studio into seven locations in two years.

This week, we're sitting down with Lydia Fenet, the world's leading charity auctioneer who has raised over a billion dollars for nonprofits, founder of a talent agency for auctioneers, two-time author (her first book optioned by Hulu), and mom of three living in Tribeca. Lydia shares what it's like to spend 90 nights a year on stage, run a household where her day "starts at 7pm," and red-eye home from Calif...
Rachel Hochhauser was killing time on her phone in a hospital waiting room — her husband recovering from emergency brain surgery, her 18-month-old at home — when a meme of Cinderella's evil stepmother stopped her cold. "This isn't a villain. She's just trying to take care of her two daughters." That spark became "Lady Tremaine," her debut novel, a Reese's Book Club pick and instant New York Time...
Emilie Dayan Hill got her start in finance by pure luck — a phone call that came as she was literally climbing into a moving truck, leaving Mississippi for Atlanta with no job and no connections. A decade later, she's a partner and high net worth investment advisor at a major investment firm, and the writer behind Finance That Feels, where she's reshaping the way women relate to money.
In this week&rsq...
Melissa Hines never planned to own a business. She just refused to compromise on care — and that single non-negotiable turned a one-woman practice into Wellest Integrative Health, a Back Bay pelvic floor PT clinic with seven practitioners and an expansion already underway. In this episode, Melissa pulls back the curtain on building what she calls her "third baby" while raising two actual ones just out...
Francesca Cervero has been a full-time yoga teacher for 21 years — and she will tell you, this is her passion. Francesca has evolved her teaching from 40-50hr weeks in person in New York, to now teaching exactly when her son is in school virtually.
In this week’s conversation, Francesca shares how a serious hip injury at 23 (she was walking with a cane while teaching full-time in New York City) r...
Jennifer Cook wakes up at five every morning — not because she has to, but because she's wired that way. A fashion buyer for a multi-brand store in Soho, a hot yoga teacher, and the writer behind the Mom Friend Substack, she's built a life in Brooklyn that holds a two-and-a-half-year-old, three jobs, a musician husband, and a self-imposed 8:45pm bedtime. The key, she'll tell you, is knowing which ball...
Alison Hall doesn't know where her day will take her — and that's the point. As a correspondent for Inside Edition, she might get a call at 7am sending her to Long Island for a court hearing, spend the afternoon at the FaceTime set doing virtual interviews with sources in California, or hop on a flight to London. Her workday ends with show tape between 3 and 5pm, then she bikes home in the same blazer...
Kathryn Humphries turned down a buying position at Bergdorf Goodman to bet on a one-woman PR agency run by someone she'd just met — and that gut instinct shaped everything. From interning in Ralph Lauren's celebrity dressing department to running social media at Gap, she built a career across New York's fashion world before moving home to Houston, meeting her husband, and co-founding All You Need Meth...
Chassity Evans woke up one morning with a fully formed novel in her head. She hadn’t taken a single writing class, had never planned to write a book, and was about to board a flight to the Bahamas — but by January 6th she was writing chapter one, and a little over a year later, her debut rom-com Pink Sand Summer was finished. Now the Charleston-based content creator (formerly behind Look Linger ...
Rebecca Matchett co-founded Alice and Olivia at 23 with zero fashion experience, now she's building Synchrony, a social platform for neurodivergent adults, and navigating life as a mom of three in downtown Manhattan — including sending her oldest to college in California this fall.
In this honest conversation, Rebecca opens up about the pattern that's defined her career: jumping into industries she kno...
This week, we're sitting down with Hannah Pitner, a professor of Spanish Linguistics in Memphis and co-founder of Lingua Viva, an online language collective she launched with her business partner while juggling a full-time teaching load and a one-and-a-half-year-old son. Hannah shares what it's like to get in movement in between pour over coffee pours at 6am, teach four to five college classes a semester, a...
This week, we're sitting down with Kate Strickler, the creator behind Naptime Kitchen, author of "I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen," and mom of four kids ages 10, 9, 7, and 4 in Charleston, South Carolina. Kate shares what it's like to squeeze an entire content business into a four-hour window while her youngest is in preschool, work on a walking pad because sitting makes her brain "bounce all around," an...
From Googling to Building Skills, Markdown Files, and Scheduled Workflows
I uploaded my son's entire baseball schedule into Google Calendar in under two minutes this morning. No manual entry, no typos, no cross-referencing dates. I pasted a link into Claude, hit enter, and 18 games appeared on my calendar. Then I did the same thing with soccer. This is the kind of stuff AI can do for you right now, and in th...
This week, we're sitting down with Rachel Dillon, co-founder of Mary and Jane (a hemp-derived edibles company) and mom of two boys who splits her time between Minneapolis and Costa Rica as a "millennial snowbird." Rachel shares what it's like to train for the Boston Marathon in Costa Rican heat, run a startup with just two full-time employees, and simplify life by living without Amazon deliveries for months...
This week, we're sitting down with Adriana Mastronardi, a high school math teacher, mom of three teenagers, and online fitness and nutrition coach for midlife women. Adriana shares what it's like to wake up at 4:50am every single morning (no snooze button allowed), front-load two liters of water before work, and record podcast episodes while driving to the gym in the dark.
In this honest conversation, Adrian...
This week, we're sitting down with Kaylee Brown, an associate attorney in toxic tort litigation who's navigating the unique experience of having two kids as an associate rather than waiting until partnership. Kaylee shares what it's like to bill your time in six-minute increments, work from home while managing depositions and drafting motions, and squeeze in ChatGPT-designed workouts in her basement gym bef...
This week, we're sitting down with Megan Henken, co-founder of My UTI and healthcare consultant, who's juggling multiple businesses, a 14-year-old daughter, and learning to unwind a decade-long hustle mindset. Megan shares what it's like to leave the corporate ladder at Quest Diagnostics to build a consulting business in Colorado, how COVID created the perfect moment to launch a direct-to-consumer UTI testi...
This week, we’re sitting down with Ashley Kang, a former fashion executive who made the intentional decision to pause her career almost a year ago to invest in herself and her family. Ashley shares what it’s like to leave a job she loved at a fashion company after five years, move to New Jersey to live near her family (yes, literally in the same building complex), and build an entirely new struc...
