In this week's episode of The Type Slay Podcast, we dive into our morning routines and how you can maximize your mornings for increased productivity, focus, and overall well-being.

The morning hours set the tone for the rest of our day, and how we choose to spend them can greatly impact our mindset, energy levels, and overall effectiveness.

This week on The Type Slay Podcast, we're reviewing The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins!

The Five Second Rule, introduced by motivational speaker and author Mel Robbins, is a self-help concept aimed at overcoming hesitation and taking immediate action. Based on the idea that our brains resist change and create self-doubt, the rule states that when faced with an impulse or decision, you have five seconds to count down and physically move or take action. By interrupting the habit loop and overriding your brain's resistance, the rule helps build confidence, create positive momentum, and initiate change in various areas of life. Mel Robbins has written a book called "The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage," providing practical strategies for applying the rule and achieving personal growth.

This week we sat down with Laura Marcus Plant, CID, IIDA and Whitney Campbell, AIA, NCARB, CID, LEED AP, the owners of ENV Richmond! This dynamic duo has incredible insight to share that you don't want to miss. Join us as we have an incredible conversation about courage, confidence, leadership, balancing it all, and so much more!

Laura is a certified interior designer and Virginia native who graduated cum laude from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Interior Design. After working in Washington, DC with a portfolio of federal and corporate clients, she moved to New York City where she served as an Associate Interior Designer for a decade at an internationally renowned firm.

Laura honed a deep expertise in workplace design through projects for Fortune 500 companies in the international banking, fashion, advertising, and corporate sectors. She received national and international awards for design excellence, and served on the Board of Directors for the New York Office of Professions for Interior Designers.

Laura is recognized for her strengths in space planning and building analytics, and frequently consults with companies seeking to make wise real estate decisions. Now Laura brings over twenty years of experience to co-leading ENV’s Richmond, Virginia office.

Whitney is a registered architect (AIA), certified interior designer (CID/NCIDQ), and LEED accredited professional. Her love of design began early, and has grown into a lifelong passion. She graduated from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in Interior Architecture. Her range of experience from corporate interiors, government agencies, developers, and large financial institutions brings vast knowledge to all her projects.

Several of Whitney’s designs have won awards in the Virginia region; her pursuit of excellence is relentless. A self-professed “lighting nerd”, her focus on architectural lighting greatly enhances her work and creates unique experiences for her clients.

As a project manager, she’ll help guide you through a seamless construction process and lead you every step of the way. While working at ENV in New York City, Whitney was impressed with the culture and unique talent and is now co-leading ENV in Richmond, VA.

A mom of three, Whitney enjoys urban living in historic homes in Richmond City, as well as sarcasm, fashion, and a local brew on the river.
