We’ve all heard multitasking is a superpower, but is it really? In this ep, we explore the surprising origins of multitasking, why it's more of a myth than a skill and the heavy toll it takes on your brain.

We’ll dive into the research showing how task-switching leads to burnout, lower productivity, and even poor problem-solving. Plus, we’ll share practical tips on how focusing on one task at a time can reduce stress and help you get more done, faster.

In this ep, we tackle the often misunderstood world of strategy. We break down why people love talking about it but hate doing it and why it’s often mistaken for planning and tactics. You’ll hear how strategy is more about making tough decisions, big bets and adapting to change.

We’ll also celebrate some inspiring women leaders who nailed it—like Whitney Wolfe Herd (Bumble), Sara Blakely (Spanx), and Jessica Alba (Honest Company) - who all took bold, values-driven strategies that resonated with their audiences and built billion-dollar brands.

When was the last time someone gave you positive feedback? In today’s ep, we’re unpacking the science behind positive feedback and why it’s genuinely a culture game-changer, both at work and in life.

Ever heard an all-male team say they've got 'diversity of thought'? They might think they're being inclusive, but they're missing the bigger picture. Real diversity isn't just about having different opinions—it's about bringing in people with different life experiences, backgrounds, and identities.

In this episode, we bust the myth that 'diversity of thought' is enough. We'll explore why true diversity—gender, cultural, and racial—is essential for innovation and better decision-making. We'll share eye-opening facts, like how companies with diverse teams are 25% more likely to be profitable and why having diverse voices leads to smarter, more creative, and even faster decisions.

We'll also dive into real-life examples that show why representation matters, from crash test dummies to medical research and how companies have missed the mark by overlooking diversity.
