The Narrative of GenZ in the Workplace (Feat. Gianna Prudente)
Sitting down with Gianna Prudente, Associate News Editor at LinkedIn and Morehouse graduate, to discuss finding your professional persona as a GenZ, Navigating Burnout, Managing Work-Life Balance, and The Future of Work.
“When we think about the future of work, GenZ is so important in that conversation… By 2030 we’re making up 25% of the workforce.”

Why Not Me? Dismantling Lucky Girl Syndrome
By now, we've all heard the phrase Lucky Girl Syndrome and one of our friends probably told you that they're in their delusional era (it might've even been me). BUT, is this really a sustainable practice for growth? Are our delusions actually contributing to a better version of ourselves?
By getting to the root of what Lucky Girl Syndrome and Manifestations really accomplish for us, we can take more credit for our own success.
Establishing the ask mindset and learning how to position yourself to accomplish your goals is the first step in creating the version of yourself that you imagined when you made that New Year's Resolution.
So, let's get intimate. -
This Abundance Mindset (Feat. Spencer Ganus)
"If I could go back and give myself advice on the last year… I would have just told myself, don't be so afraid to dip your toe into the water of everything that you love, because you have so much time in your young twenties…"
In this episode, I am joined by Actress, Dancer, and friend, Spencer Ganus. Following her graduation from Duke University Spencer moved back to LA where she grew up to pursue her dreams. Following the nontraditional path, Spencer shares how she navigates entrepreneurship in the arts, self-doubt, and the abundance mindset she has to help her live more optimistically.
This one is for those who ask themselves what if? This is for the ones who trust the universe but sometimes need that little reminder. It's for you and it's for me.
Growing up doing voiceover work in media like South Park, Frozen, and more, Ganus shares her journey of rediscovering the things she loves, even when it's not the easy choice.
"Even if you cant see what the map is or what the plan is, everything that you do will have a lesson."
