This week on WorkParty Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton return with an honest conversation about leadership, reinvention, and what it actually looks like to grow a modern business. From the evolution of the “girlboss” narrative, to the pressure of building both a brand and a personal identity online as a founder, they break down the realities many women in business face, but don’t always talk about.

They also get into what’s changed at Create & Cultivate, the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the Festival, and how running a small team can still lead to big results. Whether you’re figuring out your next move, trying to stay visible while staying sane, or learning how to show up with confidence, this episode offers real perspective and plenty to think about as we approach this next season!
