Show notes

At 25-years-old, Tai Beauchamp left behind her career in fashion publishing to pursue doing what she loved: impacting and elevating women. Her philosophy of “do good and do well” led her to lean into her spiritual side and identify when she felt her best and her worst. Today, Emily talks with Tai about burnout, listening to yourself, setting boundaries, and creating healthy spaces for people in your community. How did Tai make this change and go from being the first black female beauty editor at Seventeen to running Tai Life Media and Brown Girl Jane twenty years later?

Paula Neira: ‘I was always a woman’ Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

When Paula Neira graduated with distinction from the U.S Naval Academy in 1985 and went on to serve in the Navy, she was faced with the difficult choice. As a transgender woman, Paula had to make the difficult choice to leave the Navy so she could live authentically. A difficult moment turned into an inspiring pivot when she decided to serve her country in another way - through nursing. She spent five years as a trauma ER nurse, but after feeling frustrated that she didn’t have a voice, she pivoted again. She decided to go to law school then used her law degree to fight for something deeply personal to her: the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (the archaic policy that barred openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service). Emily talks with Paula about how she leveraged her pivots and became a leading expert on transgender military service and health care. She now works at Johns Hopkins and has an impressive list of letters after her name (Paula M. Neira, J.D., M.S.N).

Reshma Saujani: Fertility May 25, 2022

Show notes

Note: This episode contains conversations around miscarriages and fertility that may be difficult for some to hear.

She has been featured in countless magazines and newspapers, appeared as a commentator on cable news, ran for Congress and her local Public Advocate office, and written three books. But every story has more to it than meets the eye: behind all of her success, Reshma struggled with conceiving a child. Her difficult journey into motherhood paralleled her incredible career highs and led her to her pivot.
