Lauren Berlingeri, the co-founder of HigherDOSE, will teach you how in this episode.  The certified holistic nutritionist and health coach shares her journey behind the wellness brand that’s changing how we think about self-care. Lauren and Avery get real about the science of “happy chemicals”—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (yep, that’s where the name HigherDOSE comes from!). They break down what these mood-boosters are, why they matter, and how to “microdose” them in your daily life.  Spoiler alert: quick fixes, like that pre-girls’-night-out glass of wine, might feel good in the moment but real, sustainable joy? That takes some mindful magic (don’t worry—Lauren will give you the cheat codes). From the healing power of infrared technology to transitioning between masculine and feminine energies, Lauren shares her tips for balancing her busy schedule as a CEO and a mom of twins while prioritizing her own wellness. Yes, it’s possible! ✨Learn more about HigherDOSE here. 🌅 Follow HigherDOSE on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/higherdose/?hl=en  🤝 Connect with Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenberlingeri/?hl=en  💌 Never miss an episode by subscribing here: girlboss.com/pages/girlboss-radio-subscribe 📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/   📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?

    How to Silence Your Inner Critic Like a Pro Golfer with LPGA's Lauren Coughlin

    This episode is brought to you by LPGA. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for November 20, 2024—the LPGA is unveiling its 75th Anniversary schedule for the 2025 season, kicking off at the CME Group Tour Championship. Catch all the action on NBC and Golf Channel! One last thing: If you’re in New York City or are planning a visit before January 5, 2025, you’re going to want to head to the Music Box Theatre to see Suffs The Musical. Get your tickets now at https://suffsmusical.com/  Turns out, we’ve all got a lot more in common with a professional athlete than we think. Yes, you included! You’re in for a refreshingly honest look at the realities of life as a professional athlete, reminding us that self-doubt and pressure aren’t signs of weakness—they’re simply part of the journey, something we all experience, athletes or not. Avery sat down with professional golfer Lauren Coughlin, who’s been golfing since the age of seven and making a name for herself on the LPGA Tour. With two championships and eight top-10 finishes this year alone, Lauren has not only mastered the game of golf but she’s also learned invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and navigating the highs and lows of a competitive career. Lauren's husband even quit his full-time job this year to join her team. Avery and Lauren also talk about how golf is considered an old boys’ club where men make business deals and network, and how as a woman and first-time golfer, you can also break into these male-dominated spaces with confidence. Lauren gives us an inside understanding of how her journey in golf has shaped her mindset and work ethic, and the importance of quieting your inner critic and having a strong support system—all things we can relate to in the corporate 9-5 grind. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, managing pressure, or finding ways to keep growing in your career, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways that will inspire you to keep pushing forward—whether you’re on the green or in the boardroom. 🏌️Follow Lauren on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/l_coughlin/ ⛳ Learn more about LPGA here: https://www.lpga.com/  💌 Never miss an episode by subscribing here: girlboss.com/pages/girlboss-radio-subscribe 📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/   📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?

    The Uncomfortable Truth: Julie Sukosd on Banishing Underwire Bras

    This episode is brought to you by EBY.  Women have been conditioned to live with discomfort—at work, at home, and even in our bras.  Julie Sukosd, the Chief Revenue Officer at EBY (which stands for Empowered By You), has set out to change that. Why? Because as she says in our conversation, if we don’t put ourselves first, then who will? Julie covers the all-so-common ways women feel uncomfortable at work, whether it’s giving or receiving feedback, advocating for ourselves, and even what we choose to put on our bodies first thing in the morning. We talk about how this impacts our personal empowerment and well-being, and how women can reclaim their self-worth and prioritize themselves once and for all.  EBY is an intimate apparel brand that is anti-metal underwire. Instead, their innovative bras offer gentle, poke-free support using a nylon thread that’s 3D printed inside a line of silicone and then coated with their signature slip-proof flocking. You no longer have to compromise your comfort! They also have a mission of helping a million women in Colombia, Nicaragua, Haiti, and India transition out of poverty and into business through micro-loans that come from every purchase. This conversation reminded us that comfort is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. 🚺 Learn more about EBY here: https://shop.join-eby.com/  👙Follow EBY on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joineby/  🤝 Connect with Julie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliesukosd/  💌 Never miss an episode by subscribing here: girlboss.com/pages/girlboss-radio-subscribe 📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/   📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?

    This episode is brought to you by Huha.  Enjoy 20% off any regular-priced items with the discount code GIRLBOSS20. Bundle your undies for extra $$$ off: Get an additional 5% off a two-pack, 10% off a five-pack, and 15% off a seven-pack. Hurry! This code expires on November 24, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST. This conversation is unlike any other we’ve had on Girlboss Radio. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s quite emotional. We talk about addiction, depression, and PTSD. If your heart is feeling up for it, we hope Alexa’s story will help you feel less alone—if not, save this for when you’re ready. If you believe you need to have it all figured out from day one, you’ll want to hear from this week’s guest, Alexa Suter, the founder of Huha, a brand of breathable, ultra-comfy underwear made from mineral and tree-derived fibers. Alexa has always felt like she was unhireable. She thought she was too emotionally unstable to sustain a 9-5 job. And this unshakeable feeling shaped her entrepreneurial journey. She never even had a full-time job and knew early on that a traditional career path was not in the cards. In this episode, Alexa shares her journey dealing with grief and its profound impact on her career, reflecting on how those challenging moments shaped her perspective as a leader. She opens up about the personal work she did to navigate her Dark Night of the Soul and the moment she made her first million—and had a mental breakdown. Through navigating hardship, she turned her experiences into fuel for her entrepreneurial spirit. Now, as the head of a multi-million dollar company, Alexa truly embodies resilience and authenticity. She shows us that embracing vulnerability can spark incredible growth and success. 🩲 Find Huha on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/wearhuha/  💖 Find Alexa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/alexasuter/  💌 Never miss an episode by subscribing here: girlboss.com/pages/girlboss-radio-subscribe 📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/   📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?

    Permission to Pause: How to Plan for Your Sabbatical with Danica Nelson

    What if taking a career break was the answer to recovering from burnout, reigniting your creativity, and achieving a better work-life balance?  It was for Dani Nelson!  With over 10 years working in the marketing industry, Dani transitioned from a full-time corporate gal working at Shopify and Canadian telecommunications company TELUS to full-time entrepreneurship as a content creator, marketing consultant, and Liberty Leave™ coach, dedicated to empowering women to take their own mini-retirements and explore the world (or rediscover what lights them up outside of work). Dani shares her concept of "Liberty Leave," a term she coined to describe the transformative power of stepping away from work to recharge and reflect. During her first sabbatical, she spent six months solo traveling in Southeast Asia, and now, she’s on her second one, living in Malaga, Spain. In today’s episode, Dani recounts her own journey from a demanding corporate career to a life filled with travel and self-discovery, highlighting the often-overlooked signs of burnout that can creep into our lives. But why aren’t career breaks normalized? How will you explain that gap in your resume to future employers? And what will your family think?!   Don’t worry! Dani covers it all while offering practical advice for those considering a sabbatical. We discuss the importance of financial planning and the emotional courage it takes to embrace the unknown, no matter what stage of your career. Spoiler: You have to be risk-averse! Dani inspired us to rethink our relationship with work and to understand that rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. And 2-3 weeks of vacation per year just isn’t cutting it. Curious about how to give yourself permission to take that much-needed break? You won’t want to miss this conversation.  ✈️ Follow Dani on Instagram + TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/danicasnelson/ + https://www.tiktok.com/@danicasnelson 🗺 Learn more about Liberty Leave here: https://libertyleave.com/  📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💌 Subscribe to our daily newsletter: https://girlboss.com/pages/newsletter   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/  📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?
