What's The Point

Amy Stanton of Stanton & Company and coauthor of The Feminine Revolution joins to talk not marketing, not PR - but masculine and feminine energies. Amy is a pioneer in a new era of women’s rights that is not competitive, but rather a complementary approach. Traditionally, female attributes are looked down upon as “weaK” - however, what we reframe these qualities as strength? We don’t need to be more of anything that we aren’t but rather unblock the femininity that’s within us. We go over why we don’t need to be more masculine, but what we need to do instead. We answer questions such as: how do you know which feminine archetypes are true to you (we both have a mix of masculine and feminine)? How do you cultivate the femininity that has been buried in a patriarchal society? How do we show up differently in our relationships —work, platonic, familial and romantic proudly and courageously as both and all of what we authentically are?

Every phase of Mike’s life brought on new learnings, and together with his wife, Jen Atkin (founder Ouai haircare), lead a life that centers around growth and expansion, personally and professionally. Tune into a raw and open conversation about growth, belonging and detaching from the chase and other people’s opinions for true freedom and happiness.

Megan Roup needs no introduction, celebrity trainer, founder of the Sculpt Society and overall physical and mental wellness enthusiast. This is not a conversation about workouts or nutrition tips and tricks - this is a conversation about the real and vulnerable moments of Megan’s journey. We discuss her past and present relationship to food and exercise, as well as her battle to food freedom. We get deep into the mind fuck of pregnancy (especially for someone who’s always filming ), mom shaming, criticized truths about motherhood, and people’s perception of her vs. reality. Megan also shares openly about getting to know herself as an adult, aside from the identity she wears as a founder, wife, and mom. Whether or not you do her workouts, you’ll leave this episode loving her even more (didn’t even think this was possible).

Emily Schildt is the founder (or chief eating officer) at Pop Up Grocer, basically your Instagram feed of products IRL. Emily is an open book—she tells us how to be alone and love it and how to enjoy your own company, especially as a method to recharge being an entrepreneur in NYC’s fast paced society. We discuss how rules and rigidity can actually serve you if executed with grace, the shame she felt about being “single forever” and the blocks she dismantled along the way to find a relationship where she truly felt seen.  Emily opens up about certain childhood experiences that eventually led to limiting beliefs surrounding lovability in adulthood, yet how these experiences drove her to be financially secure and independent. If you’ve been toying with the idea of taking yourself on a date - here’s the push you needed.

Desirée Pais is the founder of BENSHEN.co, a platform that empowers women to unlock their personal power through access to wellness tools for the modern day human. BENSHEN is a true testament that you can live a healthy, spiritual life, and have fun at the same time - you don’t have to follow every rule and become a monk to lead a life of integrity and of your dreams. While this is Desirée’s company, her life could not have been more opposite from BENSHEN’s mission in her early years. Desirée wasn’t always a spiritual saint— it was in fact her struggle with living in extremes—struggling with an eating disorder, autoimmune, depression and chronic skin issues that pushed her to explore outside of her comfort zone. We discuss the toxicity of living in the extremes, engaging in mindfulness practices for one self vs. ‘because it’s what one should do’, romantic relationships and the misconception of things not working out because ‘you keep choosing the wrong partners; vs. ‘you didn’t choose yourself’.

Mayssa shares openly about leaving the safe confines of her corporate job and her marriage — at the same time. After this huge life change, she battled years of suppressed emotions that she had neglected by staying “safe.” Mayssa gets deep with us about the reality of building a start-up and adjusting to life as a newly divorced, single woman in her late 20’s—an unexpected turn of events in her very structured and planned out life. How does one know when it’s time to quit or when it’s best to stay the course? Mayssa shares what very few are willing to discuss and debunks the fallacies and taboos about quitting, divorce, and entrepreneurship along the way.

Dakota Fanning is the youngest person to ever be nominated for a SAG award at seven years old, and that was just the start. For most, this is a pipe dream.

How do you deal when things don’t go according to plan? We get into what keeps her grounded, what riles her up, romance, purpose and what she’s looking for next—this was an incredibly honest and vulnerable conversation on Hollywood, fame, life and love.
