Elise Loehnen is the host of the podcast "Pulling a Thread" and helped turn "Goop" - Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness newsletter into a multi-million dollar company. Previously, she was at Condé Nast Traveler and the Deputy Editor of Lucky Magazine. She's ghost written 12 books (5 NYT bestsellers) including ones for Ellen Degeneres and Lauren Conrad . Elise is an intellectual giant- obsessed with words, culture, systems, how we fit into them + can transcend them. Today she shares a bit of her inspiring journey and what she's learned along the way. We discuss:

• How to know when to leave a job.
• What you MUST ask yourself before accepting a new job.
• Why you need to be "in play" in order for the universe to work in your favor.
• How Goop changed the game for the wellness industry and the major impact it's had on women.
• Her toughest moment working at Goop, and what it taught her about herself.
• The struggle to have it all as a working mom (and the cultural shift that needs to happen)
• What ghostwriting 12 books (for celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Lea Michele and Lauren Conrad) finally inspired her to write a book of her own.
