The world is moving fast, companies are shifting, and a lot of people are sitting back and hoping they don’t get hit.  Carla Harris is here to make sure you’re not one of them. Carla is one of the most respected leaders on Wall Street. She’s spent 35 years in the rooms where decisions get made: who gets promoted, who gets picked, who gets overlooked, and why.  The world is changing fast. The strategies that worked in 2025 will not work in 2026. When the world changes, you must change with it, or as our expert will caution you – you’ll “become a fossil.” She will tell you exactly which skills, what mindset, and what actions you need to take in 2026 to succeed at work so you can position yourself so you’re not waiting for someone else to “notice” your potential. In this conversation, you will learn: -The 2 things holding women back at any stage in their career and how to overcome them -How to stand out at work in the age of AI and nonstop change -How to take control of your career in midlife (It’s easier than you think) -The one relationship that gets you promoted (and it’s not always your boss) -What to do when you’re exhausted but still need to show up and perform -How to finally stop self-doubt (without any weird tricks or hacks) -How to evolve your career without starting from scratch -How to prepare for your annual review so you get what you want -Why you can be great at your job and still get overlooked (and what to do about it) -How to figure out what you want next using Carla’s “blank sheet” method -How to build a timeline to escape a toxic job without blowing up your life You’ll also hear Carla coach real listeners through layoffs, rebuilding confidence, and returning to work after years at home. Carla calls this next chapter Me 3.0. This is the phase where you stop living by someone else’s report card and start designing a career (and life) you want to wake up for. Today, she’s giving you the career coaching session of a lifetime – one that no amount of money could buy, because she doesn’t offer one on one sessions. She says, this is not the moment to sit back – it’s time to put your foot on the gas. And if you use what Carla teaches you in this episode, you won’t just feel more confident. You’ll be positioned to win.

    The Reality of Adult Friendship: Here’s Why You’re Lonely & How to Make Real Friends as an Adult

    If you’ve ever felt like making friends as an adult feels impossible, or you’ve looked around and thought, "Where did all my friends go?" – you are not alone.  Or maybe you have friends, and you want deeper connections, but you don’t know how to create it without forcing it. Friendship is hard right now. Which is why today, Mel is sitting down with Harvard-trained social scientist and bestselling author, Kasley Killam, who has spent the last 15 years researching friendship, connection, and loneliness.  Have you ever wondered why the friendships that once felt close now feel distant? Why you genuinely want to see people more, but somehow always end up canceling? Or why making new friends as an adult feels so forced and exhausting when it never used to? There's a reason for all of that. And today, Kasley is giving you the answer. She is also raising the stakes on friendship and explaining why social health is the missing key to living a longer, healthier, and happier life.  Kasley has conducted positive psychology research at the University of Pennsylvania and launched an award-winning initiative at Stanford that promotes empathy and kindness. And in this conversation, she’s here to clear up the confusion, cut through the excuses, and give you the tools that make connection feel doable again. You’ll also learn the 4 friendship styles - and identify which one you are - so you’ll finally understand why friendship drains you, why it feels easy for some people, and what you specifically need to create the relationships you want. In this episode, you’ll learn: -Why adult friendship feels so hard (and how to make it easier) -Why social health is a missing pillar of well-being -The Excuse vs. Need framework for connection -The Swap Strategy to feel less lonely, fast -The 5-3-1 Rule for stronger friendships -How to deepen the relationships you already have -Exactly how to make new friends as an adult -Why connection is essential - not optional No matter your age or stage of life, it’s not too late. If you’ve felt lonely, disconnected, or like building real friendship is impossible, this conversation will show you exactly what to do next, with steps that are simple, specific, and realistic.

    Harvard Business School Professor: How to Become More Confident, Influential, and Communicate Better

    Today's episode is going to completely change the way you think about every conversation you've been too afraid to have. Ever wonder why your relationships feel surface level, even after years?  Why you feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by people?  Why you say “I’m fine,” even when you’re not? Why some people earn trust instantly, while you struggle to be taken seriously? Harvard Business School’s Dr. Leslie K. John, a behavioral scientist who has spent decades studying honesty, trust, privacy, regret, and decision-making, is here to teach you the answer – and it's not what you think. In today’s episode, you will learn the surprising science of honesty, vulnerability, and human connection.  Her research has found why the things you don't say are quietly hurting your health, your relationships, and your career – and exactly what to do about it. For years, the advice has been: don't overshare, at work or with friends. Keep things private. But decades of Harvard research say that advice is backwards.  Dr. John's findings are shocking, and reveal that the real problem, the one deepening loneliness and costing you the career and connections you want, is undersharing. In this episode, you’ll learn that 89% of people would choose to work with, trust, and hire someone who reveals something difficult, even something unflattering, over someone who stays quiet.   That keeping secrets doesn't just feel heavy. Research shows it lowers cognitive performance, IQ, and is linked to measurable declines in physical health. That one of the most common deathbed regrets is “I wish I had shared my feelings more.” That you can use The Disclosure Matrix, which is the exact decision-making tool Dr. John teaches at Harvard Business School, so you always know when to speak up and when to stay quiet. And, you’ll learn the 2-sentence framework that makes any hard conversation easier to start. If you've ever held something back because you didn't want to make things awkward, said "I'm fine" when you weren't, or wished your relationships felt deeper and more honest, this episode will change the way you communicate forever.
