Today’s guest is Gail Becker, the gutsy entrepreneur who left her corporate America job to take on the food industry—something she knew very little about at the time. She takes us through her pitch and funding journey for CAULIPOWER and shares advice on how to trust your gut and build a biz, even in the face of the unknown.

Celebrity Bosses and the Future of Marketing with Rare Beauty's CMO Katie Welch

Yep, we're going there. Today's episode features a conversation with Ashley Madison's Senior Director of Communications, Isabella Mise. We're sure you've heard about Ashley Madison: the site bills itself as the number one "married dating site" with 80 million users worldwide.
You might be wondering, why Ashley Madison, Girlboss? A few months ago, Girlboss producers received an email from Ashley Madison's PR team, and one particular line stood out to us: Ashley Madison considers the workplace—and not other dating apps—their number-one competitor. We knew we wanted to do an episode dedicated to office romances, and hold a nuanced, compassionate and curious conversation about infidelity and the future of monogamy. 
The office affair is an all-too-common trope, but what drives to develop crushes and pursue our coworkers? Is the risk of professional and emotional fallout even worth it? What does Ashley Madison's in-depth research have to reveal about the driving factors of infidelity? There is a lot to unpack in this one, pour some wine and settle in.

Office Affairs with Ashley Madison's Isabella Mise

Ah, money—it's the reason we go to work, chase promotions and ask for raises. For Tori Dunlap (who saved $100K by the time she was 25), money means options. "When I had money—and we're not talking Jeff Bezos money—we're just talking an emergency fund, I could donate to causes I believed in. I could support candidates and legislation that I believed in. I could start a business. I could leave a toxic situation I didn't want to be in anymore. I could take a vacation," says Tori.
This is Tori's other belief: "I don't think anything bad happens when women get more money." To that end, the personal finance expert (who has a New York Times best-selling book, Financial Feminist, a hit money podcast and website all centered around helping women figure out their finances), gives real, tangible advice on saving and investing for women ("I don't believe in inspiration p*rn. I don't feel like it does anything," is another one of Tori's trademarks). 
Today's conversation with Avery is tackles all of your money questions: When to start investing (and when to pay off those student loans), how to pay down debt and the ever-pressing renting-vs-buying debate. We know you'll get a lot out of this episode and leave it feeling better about your financial future. 
Follow Tori at @HerFirst100K.

Renting, Investing and Financial Feminism with Tori Dunlap

There are so many misconceptions circulating on TikTok and Instagram about ways to “hack” your health as women—your cortisol levels, your sleep cycle, your period—so you can be the most optimized version of yourself… but there's often little-to-no scientific evidence to back it up.
That’s why the work Rachel Sanders is doing is so great. She’s the CEO and founder of Rootine, a line of targeted supplements and at-home lab tests that are rooted in science and customized to your unique daily routine. They have adaptogen drink mixes to help with sleep, focus and stress—plus, personalized multivitamins and in-depth tests for your cortisol, minerals, vitamins and DNA.
With 10 years’ experience at the intersection of health and technology, Rachel is disrupting the market as a woman founder in the male-dominated personalized health tech space. In addition to being a founder, Rachel is a startup advisor, angel investor, new mom, and has been featured across Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider and more.
In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery and Rachel talk about what you should (and shouldn't) be tracking when it comes to your health, what we're getting wrong about our cortisol levels, and what wellness at work actually looks like.

Head to rootine.co to try out their targeted supplements and at-home lab tests, and folllow Rachel at @rachelsopsanders on Instagram.

On this extra-spicy episode of Girlboss Radio, we welcome feminist media critic Caro Claire Burke, whose TikTok videos dissecting all things trad wives you may have already come across.
So, what's the difference between a trad wife and a trad-wife influencer? Is wanting to make meals from scratch while wearing dreamy dresses really that bad? What does our current obsession with this type of influencer content say about the state of women's ambition? 
And finally, is consuming trad-wife content inherently un-feminist? The answer might surprise you.
