Where is the Line

This week we are talking all things mental health!

How can one differentiate between burnout vs just “a bad week”? What if therapy alone isn’t effective enough and you continue to battle a feeling of anxiety & depression? 

We are so honored to have the beautiful Katherine Morse Wiora (Kat) with us to share for the first time publicly about her incredibly personal story of joining an out-patient program and how it represented a pivotal part to healing. 

From breaking down the structure of the program, to laying out key benefits and downsides, her biggest surprises, how to navigate the feeling of judgment, the power of community, how to support a loved one going through this, ... Kat covers it all. Kat also gives tangible advice on how to decide whether this is program is right for you. 

Let’s all work together to destigmatize solutions designed to improve our mental health! Thank you Kat for embodying such authentic & courageous leadership through the power of vulnerability.

AI & Ethics - Where is the Line? When should we be concerned?

Isn't AI just another form of creative destruction and the more we (carefully and critically) embrace it our society will benefit?

Jane and Sabrina are flying solo today! Join us for an intimate conversation about the fine line between “being alone” and “feeling lonely”.

How is it that sometimes you can physically be surrounded by others yet feel lonely? And vice versa, how to find joy in solitude? As humans we naturally crave connection with others but how can we improve the relationship that matters most, with ourselves?

We examine the importance of not losing one's identity when in a relationship, by growing as a couple as well as growing individually, and discuss how energy is finite, and how you choose to spend your energy can help in finding more inner peace and happiness. 

We hope you enjoy and as always, let us know your experience with this topic in the comments! Any advice or tips on how to feel less lonely are welcome!

We are extremely honored to sit down with LaSean Smith, active solo-preneur, private equity investor, patent holder, and former big tech executive, who is committed to helping people unlock more freedom and accelerate their path to financial independence.

LaSean shares how to play the long game and the importance of skill-stacking to create more leverage, while weighing the pros and cons between employee & entrepreneur. He highlights concepts such as the "3 House Rule", "growing the gap" and other pro-tips.

We are honored to sit down with real estate agent Nitasha Kassam, a true expert in the space. Nitasha joined the Crystal Tran Team of Chicago in 2017. She is known for her customer relation and passion for helping people which is what makes her an outstanding agent. Her team was recently recognized in Chicago’s list of 2023 ‘Who’s Who of Chicago Real Estate.’ 
Nitasha breaks down how to navigate this crazy housing market, and all the factors that go into the decision tree of whether to rent or own.

She shares more on the importance of mapping out what type of lifestyle you want and how to budget according to your wants and needs. 

Nitasha unpacks the myth of "feeling stuck" when you become a homeowner, and reminds our audience of finding a place that is investor friendly and what to learn from Starbucks when considering a location. 

This was one of the most informative sessions yet and is a must-listen for everyone, no matter what stage of life you’re in!

We are back with our first official guest of Season 2: the wonderful Ellie Rosenbaum, talking about a rather controversial subject, religion vs. faith - how to rediscover spirituality outside of church. 
Ellie shares quite vulnerably about her own journey, from being raised catholic to finding connection to god outside of church. She touches on the feeling of exclusivity while getting "prayed over" in Religious Ed, to experiencing the feeling of disillusionment. 

Ellie highlights how one can have connection to God outside of Church and the value of community & faith aside from a formal institution. 

We ended on how to navigate when your partner / their family is not of your same religion, and what to look out for in the dating world when it comes to faith or religion.

"You're not alone: choose what's going to bring you the most happiness"

-  Ellie Rosenbaum

No matter where you are on your own spiritual path, this is a must-listen!

In today's episode, we have with us our dear friend, queen of finding your true passion and people advocate Kristy Wojnicki. 

Kristy has extensive experience in managing customer-facing teams, partnering with global & small businesses, launching new products in start-up and mature environments and she was also one of our favorite managers. We couldn't think of a more suited person to discuss this critical (yet sometimes uncomfortable) topic of how to give feedback to your manager. We know that feedback is a gift but how do you get more comfortable providing feedback to a superior? 

Kristy dives into the importance of anytime and real-time feedback, to always ground the feedback in facts to remove some of the emotion and bias, and guidance on how to lead by example. Thank you Kristy for sharing so many tangible tips with us!

In today's episode, we examine a topic that is not talked about enough though represents one that will hit all of us sooner rather than later: Caregiving

In today's episode, we have the beautiful Samantha (Sam) Schafer with us, as we dive into the topic of healing after a break-up, i.e. is there such a thing as "the right time" to get back out there? 

How can you start falling in love with the process vs obsessing over the end goal and take the time to figure out what you want by reflecting on why the other relationship didn't work out.

How to learn to accept any emotion that may come up, vs. push them away? How to own your part without falling into the trap of self-deprecating and how too often we use tools like attachment theories to weaponize against and label ourselves.

We end with some tactical techniques anyone can apply to become a better version of themselves. This episode is for anyone that wants to learn and grow, whether single or in a relationship.
