This week we chatted with Rina Stone (@rinajstone), the Executive Creative Director at InStyle Magazine (@instylemagazine). We discuss the importance of mentorship at every level, balancing not only work and life but life and the highlight reel of social media, and how what we do as creatives is actually pretty darn cool.

This week, we talk to Juliana Laury. A writer, podcaster, artist, and creative maven— and an old friend to both Allie & Krista. She just launched an INCREDIBLE podcast— FLOW (which you can find wherever you get your podcasts). And, as a bonus, stick around after the interview for a sneak preview of the first episode. We discuss giving space to grow and mourn each stage in life, the process of cultivating your creative outlets, and how creating space for yourself is vital.

Coming off of the week post-wedding for Allie, we chat about wedding industry misconceptions and how bullshit they are. Really, don't stress and just take it all in stride. We promise that this is just one day in your life and it isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But alcohol helps get through it!

This episode we talk to Lauren Foundos, the CEO and founder of Forte Fitness (@forte.fit)— a tech/streaming fitness platform that is transforming the fitness industry that makes working out at home a viable option. We talk about her shift from a career from finance on Wall Street to leading an innovative tech and fitness company, how her experience as an athlete shaped her as a business woman and entrepreneur, and the importance of health and fitness to the human experience.

This week we talk to Jen Kober, a comedian, writer, and actor, and a mean maker of Fried Chicken hailing from Los Angeles.

This episode we talked to Christania, the editor and chief of AZ Mag (@azmaguk), an online publication in the UK that focuses on highlighting “QTIBPOC” talents and issues. We discuss the importance of story telling for marginalized experiences, how the team curates meaningful content, and why we should always celebrate the small victories. With that, here’s Christania.

This episode Allie and Krista talk about their experiences with unwanted attention in the form of sexual advances. Let us be clear, you are not alone if you have received any, and if you are sending any - go kick rocks.

This episode we talk to Amanda Petrellis, a clinical trial project manager and current grad student from Philadelphia. We talk about the importance of research to the human experience, why taking care of yourself is essential, and the power of women in STEM.
