#MAYFAIRWORLD Samantha Abrahart

I’m joined by the internet’s favorite astrologer, Alice Bell. She’s the resident astrologer for British Vogue and co-host of the Astrology and You podcast. Alice and I discuss how she first got into astrology and what inspired her to take the leap and make it her full-time job. She breaks down how different elements like retrogrades, eclipses, and returns work together with our individual birth charts to inform our lived experiences. We touch on astrology and relationships and how your birth chart can be a useful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of who you are and how you operate. Alice also goes through each rising sign and shares what to look out for in this upcoming Cancer season. 
 
Today, Alice and I talk about:
How Alice discovered astrology  The difference between birth charts and transit charts  The correlation between the ruling planets charts of last two years and some of the major societal changes and events that we've all been living through  Alice’s go-to recommendations for someone who wants to dive into astrology Why you shouldn’t panic if your birth chart isn’t ‘compatible’ with your partner  The best ways to celebrate full moons, new moons, and celestial events How to handle Cancer season (June 21 to July 22) based on your rising sign   
“I had so much less anxiety after I taught myself astrology and realized that there was a timing for everything and that I had certain traits for a reason.”  #MAYFAIRWORLD

To round out Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m joined by mental health brand consultant Meadow Lark. Meadow explains how she carved her own niche career path in the consulting space and shares her advice for anyone who is attempting to do the same. We get into how to monitor your energy when you’re consuming social media and upholding boundaries online, which can be especially challenging when you’re so intertwined with your brand. Meadow and I also discuss what burnout looks like, the inner healing that I had to do in order to become the leader I am today, and why we need to challenge toxic workplace dynamics. 
 
Today, Meadow and I talk about: 
 
Being mindful of who you share your vision with  Simple ways to build trust in yourself and practice integrity  Getting honest with yourself about your relationship with social media  How the quality of mental health care in the US is dropping significantly Reducing the stigma of burnout  Becoming an advocate for yourself at work  Bringing businesses together instead of fostering a competition culture   
“You can define a new generation of leadership and you can create a space that doesn't exist.”  #MAYFAIRWORLD

As we round out Mental Health Awareness Month, I sat down with Elyse Cohen, the VP of Social Impact & Inclusion at Rare Beauty, to discuss building a with purpose and making a meaningful social impact as an organization. Elyse has over 18 years of experience in her craft, including working as the Deputy Director for First Lady Michelle Obama where she helped launch the Let's Move initiative. She shares what she learned during her years at the White House and how the former First Lady was a champion of authenticity and vulnerability.
 
During her transition back into the private sector, the role at Rare Beauty came up and Elyse instantly knew that it was made for her. Rare Beauty is Selena Gomez’s makeup brand that is making waves in the beauty industry and beyond. Elyse and I discuss how the brand leverages being a celebrity-founded start up and use their platform to advocate for mental health awareness. We also touch on creating a company culture that’s in alignment with corporate values, engaging in corporate social responsibility in a genuine way, and what’s coming up next for the Rare Impact Fund. 
 
Today, Elyse and I talk about: 
 
Elyse’s biggest takeaway from working as Deputy Director for First Lady Michelle Obama The different pillars of her role at Rare Beauty  How individuals or brands can use their platform to inspire change  Raising awareness without coming across performative The importance of bringing credible people and organizations to the table when discussing large social initiatives that may impact and leave an impression on a vulnerable community Rare Beauty’s partnership with National Alliance on Mental Illness to rethink and prioritize mental health in the workplace   
“We need to stay true to who we are and build our own North Star.”  #MAYFAIRWORLD

On today’s lunch break, the two youngest Mayfair employees chat about what it’s like being Gen Z and entering the workforce. Summer is an executive assistant and Cheri is a graphic designer, and even though they work in different departments, they’ve become work (and real life) besties. They talk about the dynamic of being a young 20-something in an office, growing into your career, and finding yourself and your passions in the work environment. They share the biggest hurdles that they’ve faced in the transition into professional life and how they’re learning to let their personalities shine at work. Plus, they touch on setting limits on Tik Tok, the social influencer industry, and being present. 
 
Today, Summer and Cheri talk about: 
Their first impressions of eachother  Advice to Gen Z professionals who are struggling with in-person communication  Where they’ve seen the most growth in their approach to work  Questioning the ideologies and standards of corporate America  Fostering friendships at work  Developing your own opinion and sticking by it, even if you’re a young person   
“You can spend your early 20s finding yourself and figuring yourself out. You don't need to be perfect in your work life.”  #MAYFAIRWORLD

Jesse Israel is a social entrepreneur, meditation leader, former record label executive, and founder of The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement. He’s found a way to utilize his experience with concerts and festivals, and turn down the volume with his large-scale community meditation events. The Big Quiet is all about giving people permission to look inward, talk about real stuff, and do it in a context that feels accessible. In other words, it’s far from your local Buddhist center. 
 
Jesse shares how he discovered meditation after going through a period of significant burnout at the age of 23. We discuss the benefits of breathwork, common misconceptions about meditation, and why leaders benefit so much from this practice. Jesse opens up about what happened with his vision and direction for The Big Quiet once the pandemic hit, and how he’s been able to find joy within himself rather than external validation because of that experience. We also touch on his approach to social media and exciting projects that are really lighting him up right now. 
 
Today, Jesse and I talk about: 
 
The physical manifestations of being in a constant state of stress  How meditation helps Jesse connect deeper with himself and other people  What inspired Jesse to start The Big Quiet  Jesse’s response to people who say they can’t meditate  The correlation between meditation and leadership  What it was like to be dubbed ‘Oprah’s meditation guy’  Finding a healthy balance with social media and screen time  Where Jesse is focusing his energy when it comes to expanding The Big Quiet   
“I believe that anybody that is giving themselves in a meaningful and good way to the world is creating a ripple effect.”  #MAYFAIRWORLD
