This week's episode features a very special guest - Megan Maguire, my right hand for all things Nude Nation and beyond. Megan and I first met years ago when she was introduced as my boyfriend's sister, but since then our relationship has grown so much and she is truly one of the wisest and kindest people I know. Watching her personal growth over the years has been such a privilege, as has working together side by side to build Nude Nation and seeing her passion for the work that we do. Megan has such a keen eye for brand strategy and I'm constantly learning from her and the ideas she brings to the table - I feel so grateful for our working partnership and our connection built on a foundation of trust and love.

In this episode, we get into how Megan transitioned from fashion to PR and what led her to work with me at Nude Nation, how therapy helped her push through a difficult period of anxiety and burnout, lessons learned while navigating your twenties in a new city, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, imposter syndrome, PR strategy, brand building, how brands can stand out in an ever-evolving space, and so much more. This conversation felt so organic and truly is a reflection of the nature of our relationship - please enjoy Megan's first (but certainly not last) sit down with me on the show.
