Do you know what energizes you? Frustrates you? Calms you? Do you think about how your actions impact those around you? Are you someone who instantly reacts to a situation? Or do you take the time to process before responding? The answer to all of these questions helps determine the level of self-awareness that you have. Understanding your emotions, drivers, needs, and triggers enables you to put your best foot forward as a leader. It also helps you become more empathetic in your relationships as you learn to think outside your own personal situation. In this episode, we dive into exactly what self-awareness is, how to cultivate it, why it matters, and the signs that someone is not self-aware.

On this week's episode we talk about making a job change. As you progress in your career, it is very common to make a job shift every few years. Whether this is an internal move or you take a role at another company, it is not a decision to be taken lightly. Both of us recently made a job move (one internally and one externally) so we talk in detail about what prompted the decision and why we made the moves we did.
We dig into:
- Why the "new every 2" rule has worked for us in our early careers
- The #1 reason employees choose to leave their companies - and our experience with it
- The difference between making a move internally vs. externally
- How to know when you're ready for the next step
- Our biggest work-related pet peeves

Did you know that only 39% of people negotiated their salary in their last job offer? And unfortunately us ladies are dragging down the average as 46% of men asked, but only 34% of women did. This varies a bit by city but the takeaway is that we are all leaving A LOT of money on the table. In fact, failing to negotiate your salary early in your career can result in losing tens or hundreds of thousands over the course of your career.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What you need to look at besides just the salary number
- How to do research to understand what you're worth
- Why companies expect you to negotiate
- How to handle the question: "What salary are you looking for?"
- Why you should be persistent even if you hear no the first time

Collaboration is critical to the success of any entrepreneur. Ideas can flourish and be driven by action. Networking opportunities can build new business and opportunities. Skills can be developed and shared amongst participants. This collaborative spirit is what Lindsey Tague and Justin Bordeaux, co-founders of The 904 Collaborative, aim to achieve.
In this episode, we discuss where Lindsey and Justin met (mostly because it's a fun story), what made them decide to work together, why it's so important for creatives to have a place to brainstorm and share ideas, how they are building this collaborative space, and what keeps them inspired to follow this passion.
This episode is for anyone who needs a boost of entrepreneurial spirit and wants to understand what goes on behind the scenes of mastermind groups.

On average, Americans age 18 and over spend 37 minutes in food preparation and cleanup each day. That's about 4.5 hours per week. And the average household spends about $550 per month on food. That's a hefty bill and a lot of time spent just on meals. What if it could be cheaper and faster?
This is what we talk about on this week's episode with Founder of Workweek Lunch, Talia Koren. Workweek Lunch is a site and meal plan subscription dedicated to helping busy people meal prep to save time and money while eating healthy. Talia lives in Queens, NY where she spends most of her time in a tiny kitchen whipping up big batch meals and sharing tips and tricks with her 250k Instagram followers. Prior to going full-time with Workweek Lunch, Talia dabbled in the entertainment industry, journalism and social media consulting. Talia's mission is to show people how easy it is to prep delicious plant-focused meals on a budget to create more time, money and energy in our lives for the things that matter to us most.
We talk with her about what it takes to build a thriving business online, why she chooses not to focus on diets, and why learning how to meal prep is so critical for the busy professional or working parent.

It is becoming more common and more accepted for our generation to break out of the mold of the 9-5 to follow their passions and create their own path towards the things that allow them to make a greater impact.
With us this week to talk about one of those paths is Kristyn Danieli. Kristyn is currently a business owner, motivational mentor and speaker, soulful retreat facilitator and community builder. Kristyn also received her MBA from Endicott College in 2013. She has 10 years of corporate experience between Real Estate, Franchise Operations, and Project Management as well as business development within higher education. As you can probably tell, she has done a lot across many different spaces.
Kristyn left behind the corporate world for the last time this April to launch her business, Souls on the Rise. We’re going to talk on this episode about what motivated her to do that, what it’s been like on both sides and also why she decided to do a solo trip around Europe for 3 months. So much to unpack!

February has been an awesome month covering an extremely hot topic: MONEY!
Money elicits so many emotions in us: happiness, fear, stress, anxiety, safety, security etc. Many of us spend most of our lives chained to a career or lifestyle we don't like because we haven't learned the skills and strategies to take our money mindset to the next level. That's exactly what our guests took us through over the last several weeks and today we talk about our top takeaways.
