Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton are back with a brand new catch-up episode of WorkParty, this time live from New York City as Jaclyn celebrates turning 40 and steps into a major new chapter, personally and professionally. From closing the door on her LA era to testing the waters in NYC, Jaclyn opens up about choosing change over comfort and embracing uncertainty with curiosity and intention. Marina shares on how interior design became her unexpected creative outlet, why she’s building connection into every layer of the business, and how she’s finding her footing as a leader through every high-stakes moment.

They dive into life milestones, creative rediscovery, and what it really looks like to evolve as women, founders, and friends. From buying dream homes and planning once-in-a-lifetime trips, to launching the biggest Create & Cultivate festival yet, this episode is a reflection on growth in all its forms. Whether you’re in a season of change, searching for balance, or just need a reminder that it’s okay to start over, this episode is full of insight, laughs, and permission to live life your way.
