Welcome Baddies. This episode is putting the car in reverse and take a 3-point turn. Starting off the episode with five things that are pissing me off. Yes, you read it right. I'll also share a bit about how I feel about ego. This is your episode if you have an egotistical nuisance in your life and need a safe place to let out steam.

Welcome Baddies! We're bringing the girl chat to the mic and unleashing our thoughts on managing friendship in your late-20's. Why? They are so confusing!

Welcome back Baddies! You read the title correctly. Introducing the woman who raised me, Slay Lia J. She's all the spice with sugar on the side. Many of the themes I believe in and the skills I learned came from her hard work and drive while I was growing up.

Welcome back Baddies! Introducing a brand new segment in this episode titled, "Unpopular Opinions". Is small talk a sign of low intelligence? What's more important in life, book-smart, street-smart or a healthy balance of both?

Let us say it again for the back row. You are MORE than just a cheerleader. Today Lori and I talk about embracing the sides of us suppressed by others who don't understand. This is about more than your career. This is about your life's purpose.

Lori Wallace is the founder of Career Ecology which empowers human connection at the front door of recruiting and the back door of layoffs. She cultivates a state of emotional and social safety which opens the way to authentic engagement and trust.

Rylie Jennings is a GenZ woman with an endless curiosity about the human experience, innovation, and creativity. Through her work in venture capital, start-ups and non-profits, she's on the pursuit of defining what makes life meaningful.
