    Carrying It All: The Roles We Play

    In this powerful episode of In Real Life, we kick off our new series, The Roles We Play, with a conversation that’s as grounding as it is inspiring. Our guest — someone close to my life — is a global private equity executive, single mother, and multi-time cancer survivor who shares what it really means to carry it all.We talk about ambition, solo parenting, and the quiet strength it takes to lead through hard seasons — but also about sustainability. As women, we’re so often told to push through, to do more, to be more. But today's guest offers a rare kind of clarity: how to create a life that won’t burn you out. Her insight is practical, honest, and a reminder that strength isn’t just about surviving — it’s about choosing what’s worth carrying in the first place.

    Sharing Our Now: Life, Mess, and Everything In Between

    This month on In Real Life, we’re sitting with The Messiness of Now — how we show up in the middle of real life, with all its beauty, pressure, uncertainty, and dreams. Today, I’m joined by my longtime friend Sosa and together, we’re sharing a glimpse into the seasons we’re living right now. We talk about the visible and invisible roles we carry, the dreams pulling at us quietly, and the small grounding practices that keep us going when life feels overwhelming. It’s not about having it all figured out — it’s about being honest about where we are, what we’re carrying, and what we’re building, even if it’s still a little messy. Come sit with us in real life — messy, beautiful, unfinished.
