- Lindsey Pollak, Author & Speaker
Author Lindsey Pollak had always made a point of projecting polish and control - useful for her work as an in-demand speaker and workplace expert. In March 2020 she had a year of speaking engagements booked - until she didn't. Over a two-week period, she lost over six figures in business as clients cancelled bookings and took back deposits. As the family breadwinner, she had no choice but to figure out how a workplace expert adapts when the workplace disappears. Then, Lindsey and her family had to adapt even more when a space heater in the apartment below them sparked a building-wide fire. The family watched from the street as their home burned. Lindsey had to relocate, retrench, rebuild - and recalculate, which became the subject of her next book, and this episode of "Your New Life Blend." Host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Lindsey about rebuilding a life and a career in the face of unrelenting change and challenge, how trying to project perfection can keep us from asking for - and receiving! - the help we need, and how we just never know what people are carrying.

What stories are we telling ourselves about the world? The New Quo founder Christina Blacken works with leaders to challenge the status quo through "narrative intelligence" - understanding the power of stories to change minds, break patterns, and make better, wiser decisions. In this episode, host Shoshanna Hecht speaks with Christina about the stories we tell ourselves in good times and in crises (and whose stories get told, and from whose perspective). Christina also shares how she applied the lessons of narrative intelligence to her own story, professionally and personally, when the COVID-19 lockdowns took hold in March 2020. Professionally, Christina's flourishing in-person speaking and consulting business changed on a dime. Personally, she learned to navigate her own rising fear and trauma brought on by pandemic life by reframing her own stories in order to overcome those fears and move herself forward.

Washington Post columnist Helaine Olen has always been fascinated by work and how it dominates our lives - and, since March 2020, has been fascinated by the profound shift she has observed in our relationship to work since the pandemic sent so many of us home, and sent so many others directly into harm's way. These observations were the basis of her recent article, "How the Pandemic Ended America's Bad Romance With Work," in which she explores the forces compelling what she calls "a great reconsideration, a great renegotiation" with work in this country and exactly how much of it we actually want in our lives. In this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht speaks with Helaine about the societal forces that build movements from the ground up, and what happens when giant swaths of the workforce abruptly realize that work won't love you back.

How do you support women in the workplace? If you're Sali Christeson, founder and CEO of Argent, you do it with sleeve-stays, flexible fabrics and, of course, pockets. Argent's suits were ubiquitous this fall in the run-up to the election with a hot-pink voting-themed collection - but almost three years ago in March 2020 when everyone stopped going to the office, she wasn't even sure she'd have a business at all. On this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Sali about how she navigated the challenges of the past few years - professionally and personally, with two young kids at home, the ups and down of being a founder, who shows up for her (because, it's been a wild few years), and why she is so passionate about giving working women clothes they can love, and also stash their phone in.

About This Changes Things
From the publisher's feed
Are you driving your own life and career — or getting dragged along?
That's the question at the heart of This Changes Things, a podcast about leadership, relationships,…
and what it actually takes to show up, at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Each week, host Shoshanna Hecht — an executive and leadership coach, drawing on two decades as a therapist and coach — sits down with a founder, a leader, a thinker she wants to learn from, and gets past the version they've told a hundred times to what matters most to them: the real decisions behind how they got here, and where they're headed now. Whatever they bring — a business they built, a book they wrote, a life they rebuilt — they get into it together, and into what it can offer the rest of us.
Again and again, one thing surfaces: you don't have to hit a breaking point to change course and start leading & living like you mean it, it begins the moment you decide it does. It's the same conversation Shoshanna has with her clients every day: honest, specific, and on your side. You'll come away a little clearer on what matters to you, and a lot less alone in figuring out what to do about it.
Whether you lead a company, a team, a partnership, or your own life, there's something here for you. New episodes weekly — the next chapter of the podcast formerly known as Your New Life Blend.
