Nobody Told Me!

(Apple Podcast’s Best of 2018) When mother-daughter duo Jan Black and Laura Owens first conceptualized their two-generational talk show, nobody told them they’d snag the title of #1 self-help podcast for months on end! But that’s exactly what they’ve done, delving into topics as far-flung as network building, the importance of failure, finding hope after being kidnapped, and how the principles of brain surgery can help us work through everyday problems. Featuring interviews with extraordinary individuals, Nobody Told Me! shines light on the shared human experiences that bring us together, and the challenges that serve as catalysts for our greatest growth. Nobody Told Me! combines Jan’s impressive broadcast journalism background with Laura’s unique, millennial perspective. Driven by a genuine desire to educate and empower, their pioneering platform gives insight into the strategies and secrets of people in all walks of life. Equal parts information and inspiration, Nobody Told Me! brings a personal touch to the interview process. Together, Jan and Laura are asking the questions that help their listeners get through life’s toughest times.

Majo Molfino: ...the importance of learning self-compassion Jun 13, 2020

Show notes

Majo Molfino, Stanford University-trained designer and women’s leadership expert, joins us to talk about how women can improve their self-worth and build creative confidence.

As children, most girls are to "be good" and learn that conforming to societal norms leads to praise. However, that usually leads to a lifelong quest for unattainable perfection and comes at the expense of them sacrificing their unique voice.

As the daughter of immigrants, Majo wanted to make her parents proud more than anything, but realized that she also wanted to live her life on her own terms. In this episode, she teaches us how to find our own unique feminine power and dismantle old rules once and for all.

Her new book, 'Break the Good Girl Myth', comes out on July 28th. It is is published by HarperCollins and is available for pre-order now.
