Listen if: You’ve ever questioned why people are chained to their desks from 9-5 (and then some!)

In this episode, Jess and Stef sit down to have a conversation about the concept of a workplace, challenging many common ideas. They unpack the origins of the traditional 9-5 work day and question why in 2020 so many workplaces stick to it despite so much evidence around the benefits of flexible hours.

They navigate the ins and outs of building a team as a small business, discussing how they have had the opportunity to design a workplace that they want to be part of, including encouraging vulnerability, offering flexible hours, and what should be considered “work” within creative industries. 

Prepare to reimagine what your workplace could look like, as Jess and Stef share ways they are implementing new age practices with their own team, their views on why satisfied employees are more efficient, and suggest ways other businesses could create a more effective workplace too.

Listen if: You really want to try that new exercise class but you feel a little too intimidated to get started.

In this episode, Jess and Stef chat to yoga teacher, body positivity advocate, and writer, Jessamyn Stanley.

This inspiring episode captures a powerful conversation about self image, liberation, and why how you feel is far more important than how you look. Jessamyn shares her journey of her relationship with her body, explaining why growing up with strong female role models had a lasting impact on her, and how finding yoga shifted her mindset around self-image in her mid 20s. She also talks to how powerful it was reclaiming ownership of her body, and why she loves being real and raw on social media.

Jess, who is a yoga teacher too, also shares her own journey and how yoga has helped her in many aspects of her life, and they have a conversation about practicing breathing, why anybody can do yoga, and what they want to see less of and more of in the industry. Plus, Jessamyn tells the funny story of how she ended up in a photoshoot doing yoga in a pair of ripped underwear.

Listen if: You think you’re too young or inexperienced to follow a dream.

In this episode, Jess and Stef sit down with Poppy King, the entrepreneurial powerhouse behind lipstick brands Poppy King, Lipstick Queen, and Femme de Poppy.

Jess and Stef catch up with Poppy at her office in New York for the first time in 20+ years to have a captivating chat that spans creativity, entrepreneurship, storytelling, wins and loses, and so much more. Poppy shares how she discovered lipstick at a tough time in her life, revealing how she learned to harness seemingly useless school skills to build her business (despite once getting expelled!), and why becoming an entrepreneur full of naivety at age 19 ended up being vital to her success. 

Poppy tells the story of the rise and fall of her first business, and how she dealt with the backlash from the media when her relationship with her investors broke down, going on to share the secrets of how she’s rebuilt successful brands time and time again. Plus, Poppy shares why she thinks putting on lipstick is like a superhero cape, and discloses the platform she sees as more important for a product than Instagram.
