Molly and I met on a day when, quite frankly, neither of us wanted to go to a networking coffee dateâ-as the universe would have it, we met for a reason. Since that day, a lot has changedââMolly unexpectedly started a PR firm that's best known for identifying an "it" factor in emerging brands and splits her time between NYC and London. We discuss our journeys of curating our personal and professional lives to be in alignment, meditation, Joe Dispenza, all things "woo woo" (think Red String Theory and Celestine Prophecy), and so much more.
Keep up with Molly's work on both Instagram and Substack!

Last summer in Los Angeles, I found Hannah's classes at Carrie's Pilates and immediately resonated with her tough-yet-positive approach to fitness, her social media presence that uplifts food freedom and listening to your body, and her journey from stepping away from a draining "dream job" in the entertainment industry to a path in fitness that actually aligned with her values. While Hannah teaches at some of the most coveted studios in LA (Carrie's, Heimat, Heated Room), she also offers her own digital fitness program "Sweat With Hannah" to access no matter where you are in the world. Tune in to learn more about Hannah's journey, the hype around pilates, and cultivating your own mind-body connection.

Even for those outside of the fashion industry, Fashion Week immediately sparks a connotation of star-studded runway shows, champagne towers, and, well, chaos if you live in any of the host citiesââand while the Weeks can get a bad (and frivolous) rep, I promise that there's still a purpose to it all. Whether you work in the industry and know the Weeks all too well yet are only fluent within your sector, or it's not quite your thing but are still intrigued by it all, this episode outlines how different facets come together to create a meaningful month of events to help share the hard work of designers. Tune in to hear from Arielle Siboni, Fashion Director of Women's RTW at Bloomingdale's, Matthew Cancel, Head Publicist & CEO of Cancel Communications, and Caroline Vazzana, Author & Content Creator as they discuss their roles as well as where to eat, stay, and play throughout NYFW.

Ahead of Fashion Week(s), I'm kicking off a four-part series with my very lovely friends and editorial peers: Savannah Sitton, Market Editor at Fashionista and Beatrice Hazlehurst, freelance Features Editor at publications like Rolling Stone, Vogue, Paper & more. While fashion gets a rap for being cutthroat, we actually met at a press dinner (shoutout Longchamp!) in Los Angeles and bonded over endless stories on early career days that mimicked The Devil Wears Prada, the great NYC vs. LA debate, interviewing celebrities, and balancing a calendar of events while finding time for creativity, wellness, and a personal life (what a concept!). So, obviously we had to pop into the studio six months later and record it for you to hear, too.

Whether you're working on a creative endeavor or wanting to show up as your best self in your relationships, curating your mental and physical health is key as a foundation.

In this episode, I outline my favorite tools and practices (from hypnotherapy to astrology readings in Bali) that I've tried throughout the yearsâand actually made a difference.
