Lu found Charley Vokoun on Instagram via her glorious Instagram account, Book Smut. It’s a place where she shares all the books she’s reading with her engaged, book loving followers, and as one of those followers, it was incredible to later learn that it was a psychologist that influenced her to start the page. She was navigating recurrent miscarriages, and sharing her poetic reviews and bookish adventures became a way to cope and navigate it all. 


Here, we talk about that very emotional rollercoaster and what it was like to meet her baby after such an intense period, the hardest part of navigating motherhood and career, her reflections on trying to let go of control, and how she’s learned to advocate for herself in her male dominated industry. Plus, we get all her bookish tips!



This episode is brought to you by Go-To and their Very Luxe Face Cream.
