They discuss the pandemic's role in prompting career reassessment, the guilt associated with questioning achievements we've worked hard for, and how to navigate changes in what we want from life.

In this solo episode, Chedva Ludmir introduces the new season of Looks Like Work, focusing on three pivotal questions: What do you do when your dream no longer feels right? How do you reclaim a system built to suppress you? And how are you questioning traditional priorities? She explores the concept of "gateway questions" - those gentle inquiries that help us approach what we're afraid to confront - and shares why staying with questions might be more valuable than rushing to answers.

Hey folks, I'm back for a solo episode and this one is especially lighthearted… no, of course I'm kidding. But I really wanted to take a minute to talk about grief and I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings too.

I first met Stephie on a retreat back in 2016. I was wildly out of my comfort zone, discovering a lot about the entrepreneur I wanted to be and about leadership - and a new incredible friend. Since then, Stephie and I have found that our value systems as people and as entrepreneurs are aligned, and I'm so grateful to finally have this conversation with her. We cover the place of questions and curiosity in entrepreneurship, inspiration and productivity, burnout and being a constant outsider and in-betweener.

Fair warning? This is one of those episodes. Ask me what’s it about, and I’ll respond by asking: what is it not about? I met up with Orit Gidali – like, actually packed my microphone and went to meet her – who’s one of my favorite poets and writers. Over a few glasses of red, we talked about… the human condition, I guess: Sorrow and joy, scarcity and expansiveness, attachment styles and meditation, divorce and heartbreak and exaggerated earrings and sex and passion and the brokenness of us all and violence and war and hurt and vulnerability and empathy and compassion. It’s one of my favorite episodes ever, even with the wine and acoustics messing up some of the sound - maybe even more thanks to that, actually. Enjoy.

Many of us can be pretty jaded or cynical when it comes to spirituality - I know I can - but knowing Hila has completely changed my perception of spiritual guides. Hila is as funny, pragmatic, sharp and smart as she is spiritual and heart-led. In this conversation, we dive into notions of abundance and scarcity, ego, effort and how they reflect in life and work.
