What if you could hack your happiness? Lauren Berlingeri, the co-founder of HigherDOSE, will teach you how in this episode. 

The certified holistic nutritionist and health coach shares her journey behind the wellness brand that’s changing how we think about self-care.

Lauren and Avery get real about the science of “happy chemicals”—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (yep, that’s where the name HigherDOSE comes from!). They break down what these mood-boosters are, why they matter, and how to “microdose” them in your daily life. 

Spoiler alert: quick fixes, like that pre-girls’-night-out glass of wine, might feel good in the moment but real, sustainable joy? That takes some mindful magic (don’t worry—Lauren will give you the cheat codes).

From the healing power of infrared technology to transitioning between masculine and feminine energies, Lauren shares her tips for balancing her busy schedule as a CEO and a mom of twins while prioritizing her own wellness. Yes, it’s possible!

This episode is brought to you by LPGA. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for November 20, 2024—the LPGA is unveiling its 75th Anniversary schedule for the 2025 season, kicking off at the CME Group Tour Championship. Catch all the action on NBC and Golf Channel!

Turns out, we’ve all got a lot more in common with a professional athlete than we think. Yes, you included! You’re in for a refreshingly honest look at the realities of life as a professional athlete, reminding us that self-doubt and pressure aren’t signs of weakness—they’re simply part of the journey, something we all experience, athletes or not.

Avery sat down with professional golfer Lauren Coughlin, who’s been golfing since the age of seven and making a name for herself on the LPGA Tour. With two championships and eight top-10 finishes this year alone, Lauren has not only mastered the game of golf but she’s also learned invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and navigating the highs and lows of a competitive career. Lauren's husband even quit his full-time job this year to join her team.

Avery and Lauren also talk about how golf is considered an old boys’ club where men make business deals and network, and how as a woman and first-time golfer, you can also break into these male-dominated spaces with confidence.

Lauren gives us an inside understanding of how her journey in golf has shaped her mindset and work ethic, and the importance of quieting your inner critic and having a strong support system—all things we can relate to in the corporate 9-5 grind.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, managing pressure, or finding ways to keep growing in your career, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways that will inspire you to keep pushing forward—whether you’re on the green or in the boardroom.

This episode is brought to you by EBY. 

Women have been conditioned to live with discomfort—at work, at home, and even in our bras. 

Julie Sukosd, the Chief Revenue Officer at EBY (which stands for Empowered By You), has set out to change that. Why? Because as she says in our conversation, if we don’t put ourselves first, then who will?

Julie covers the all-so-common ways women feel uncomfortable at work, whether it’s giving or receiving feedback, advocating for ourselves, and even what we choose to put on our bodies first thing in the morning. We talk about how this impacts our personal empowerment and well-being, and how women can reclaim their self-worth and prioritize themselves once and for all. 

EBY is an intimate apparel brand that is anti-metal underwire. Instead, their innovative bras offer gentle, poke-free support using a nylon thread that’s 3D printed inside a line of silicone and then coated with their signature slip-proof flocking. You no longer have to compromise your comfort!

They also have a mission of helping a million women in Colombia, Nicaragua, Haiti, and India transition out of poverty and into business through micro-loans that come from every purchase.

This conversation reminded us that comfort is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

This conversation is unlike any other we’ve had on Girlboss Radio. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s quite emotional. We talk about addiction, depression, and PTSD. If your heart is feeling up for it, we hope Alexa’s story will help you feel less alone—if not, save this for when you’re ready.

If you believe you need to have it all figured out from day one, you’ll want to hear from this week’s guest, Alexa Suter, the founder of Huha, a brand of breathable, ultra-comfy underwear made from mineral and tree-derived fibers.

Alexa has always felt like she was unhireable. She thought she was too emotionally unstable to sustain a 9-5 job. And this unshakeable feeling shaped her entrepreneurial journey. She never even had a full-time job and knew early on that a traditional career path was not in the cards.

In this episode, Alexa shares her journey dealing with grief and its profound impact on her career, reflecting on how those challenging moments shaped her perspective as a leader. She opens up about the personal work she did to navigate her Dark Night of the Soul and the moment she made her first million—and had a mental breakdown. Through navigating hardship, she turned her experiences into fuel for her entrepreneurial spirit.

Now, as the head of a multi-million dollar company, Alexa truly embodies resilience and authenticity. She shows us that embracing vulnerability can spark incredible growth and success.

What if taking a career break was the answer to recovering from burnout, reigniting your creativity, and achieving a better work-life balance? 

It was for Dani Nelson! 

With over 10 years working in the marketing industry, Dani transitioned from a full-time corporate gal working at Shopify and Canadian telecommunications company TELUS to full-time entrepreneurship as a content creator, marketing consultant, and Liberty Leave™ coach, dedicated to empowering women to take their own mini-retirements and explore the world (or rediscover what lights them up outside of work).

Dani shares her concept of "Liberty Leave," a term she coined to describe the transformative power of stepping away from work to recharge and reflect. During her first sabbatical, she spent six months solo traveling in Southeast Asia, and now, she’s on her second one, living in Malaga, Spain.

In today’s episode, Dani recounts her own journey from a demanding corporate career to a life filled with travel and self-discovery, highlighting the often-overlooked signs of burnout that can creep into our lives.

But why aren’t career breaks normalized? How will you explain that gap in your resume to future employers? And what will your family think?!  

Don’t worry! Dani covers it all while offering practical advice for those considering a sabbatical. We discuss the importance of financial planning and the emotional courage it takes to embrace the unknown, no matter what stage of your career. Spoiler: You have to be risk-averse!

Dani inspired us to rethink our relationship with work and to understand that rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. And 2-3 weeks of vacation per year just isn’t cutting it. Curious about how to give yourself permission to take that much-needed break? You won’t want to miss this conversation.

Have you ever noticed how women are often told to stay humble, downplay their achievements, and avoid sharing their successes? When we do share our wins, we’re labeled as cocky or self-obsessed.

In today’s episode, we’re flipping that narrative.

We explore practical ways to recognize and celebrate your successes, including effective strategies for promoting yourself online—because no, it’s not cringe to brag!

Stefanie Sword-Williams, a personal branding powerhouse and founder of Fuck Being Humble, aims to encourage individuals to be unapologetically proud of their achievements, sharing tactical tips to challenge the stigma around self-promotion.

Stefanie discusses her journey with self-promotion and why she is passionate about changing the conversation. We cover practical ways to celebrate your achievements, how to promote yourself online (again, it’s not cringe to brag!), and why you shouldn’t hesitate to ask friends to brag about you too.

This conversation is perfect for anyone who has struggled with sharing their successes or felt hesitant to own their worth.

It’s time for a gut check. 

In a world overflowing with health and wellness information, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice—especially when it comes to gut health and supplements. 

So, who did we turn to for clarity? Enter Dr. Roshini Raj: a practicing gastroenterologist, author of Gut Renovation, and the visionary founder and CEO of TULA Skincare.

We dive into what she does to feel like her best self both in and out of work. She shares practical tips for optimizing your own gut health (what’s a gut-healthy breakfast? Should you drink coffee on an empty stomach?), managing everyday stress (don’t underestimate that hot girl walk in the morning), and keeping those cortisol levels (a.k.a. the stress hormone) in check. 

Whether you’re looking to enhance your wellness routine or simply curious about the gut-mind-skin connection, this episode is packed with insights that can empower you to take charge of your health journey.

AI is everywhere. So what does that mean for jobs? Are they all going to be obsolete in the next 10 years? And how can we prepare ourselves—and our careers—for the future?

In this episode, Dr. Joy Buolamwini answers all of your most pressing AI questions. She is the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, an award-winning researcher, and a “poet of code.” As the author of the national best-selling book Unmasking AI, Dr. Joy has dedicated her career to uncovering and addressing racial and gender biases in artificial intelligence. With degrees from both Oxford and MIT, and recognition as one of Forbes’ Top 50 Women in Tech, she shares invaluable insights and advice for navigating the complexities of this ever-changing technology.

In the age of AI, protecting ourselves starts with knowing our rights and options—like the right to refuse facial recognition technology at airports and identifying which AI tools are ethical (and which ones aren’t—looking at you, ChatGPT). 

In our conversation, Avery and Dr. Joy dive into the positive sides of AI and the future of work, exploring how it can enhance feedback, boost efficiency, and streamline summarizing information. But she also emphasizes the importance of being cautious about how we adopt AI, both in our workplaces and beyond. Dr. Joy shines a light on the real consequences of flawed systems, particularly for marginalized communities, leading to wrongful arrests, misidentifications, and discriminatory hiring. She highlights how crucial representation and storytelling are in raising awareness about the limitations and biases of AI.

So, while AI isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, we hope this conversation eases your anxiety, and offers you the knowledge and perspective needed to engage thoughtfully with the technology shaping our world. It’s better to prepare for the future than try to avoid it.

Feeling stuck in your career? Tori Lazar has been there.

Tori was a marketing executive at a VC-backed tech company with an amazing salary. But she couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't happy. Then, she got laid off and it was the best thing that could have happened to her.

Now, Tori is a strategic storyteller and executive coach who empowers multi-disciplinary women in tech, media, and finance through her coaching studio, How to Fck Up Well. She guides entrepreneurs and executives to transform adversity into growth, innovation, and improved leadership.

Tori fills us in on how to navigate through stagnant periods in our careers and discover a renewed sense of fulfillment outside of our 9-5s. She shares practical advice on handling feedback, managing social media comparison, and why you should seek support when feeling stuck. Tori also recommends taking the time to stop and reflect on your next move, rather than rushing into your next job, so you can realign with your personal goals and values.
