  Change and Trust with Kristin Johnson

  Sep 16, 20261h 19m

  What happens when life keeps changing the plan and you learn to trust yourself enough to keep figuring it out? Kristin Johnson has navigated motherhood at 20, career pivots, loss, divorce, layoffs and plenty of unexpected turns. Now, she’s in a season of creating change on her own terms. We talk about building the muscle to adapt, trusting the evidence of what you’ve already survived, and the freedom that comes when you realize: I’ve figured it out before. I can figure it out again.

  What if changing your pace doesn’t mean changing your ambition? In this episode of our Personal AND Professional series, Jackie Bonfini shares her journey from luxury fashion and corporate leadership to motherhood, burnout, healing, and ultimately building a coaching business of her own.

  Personal and Professional with Alaina Grable

  Aug 19, 20261h 16m

  What if work/life balance isn’t about choosing or perfectly balancing but about designing a life that makes room for both? In this episode of our Personal AND Professional series, we sit down with Alaina, therapist, founder of Our Kind Therapy, and soon-to-be mom, to talk about building a life around who you actually are. From attachment and authenticity to entrepreneurship, motherhood, and dreaming bigger, Alaina reminds us that we don’t have to separate the pieces of ourselves to succeed. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simple: factor ourselves into the plan.
