Lauren Berlingeri, the co-founder of HigherDOSE, will teach you how in this episode.  The certified holistic nutritionist and health coach shares her journey behind the wellness brand that’s changing how we think about self-care. Lauren and Avery get real about the science of “happy chemicals”—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (yep, that’s where the name HigherDOSE comes from!). They break down what these mood-boosters are, why they matter, and how to “microdose” them in your daily life.  Spoiler alert: quick fixes, like that pre-girls’-night-out glass of wine, might feel good in the moment but real, sustainable joy? That takes some mindful magic (don’t worry—Lauren will give you the cheat codes). From the healing power of infrared technology to transitioning between masculine and feminine energies, Lauren shares her tips for balancing her busy schedule as a CEO and a mom of twins while prioritizing her own wellness.

Picking out what clothes Hollywood’s A-listers wear can seem like the stuff of dreams. And—for the most part, it can be.  But, as we learn in this episode of Girlboss Radio, behind every show-stopping moment on the red carpet is a lot of careful calculations and thought-planning. On this episode, Sophia chats with Karla Welch, one of the leading stylists in Hollywood. Karla has worked with many of the women who routinely make the best-dressed list (think: Ruth Negga, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, Tracee Ellis Ross among others). Her influence in fashion is so big that she’s been named one of the “most powerful stylists” by both the Hollywood Reporter and the New York Times. On this episode, Karla shares what it *really* means to be a stylist and how she’s branched out as a fashion entrepreneur to launch a styling app called Wishi. Plus, she offers tips on how to go about developing your own sense of style while crafting an image you’re proud of.

Today's episode features Avery's friend and notable Canadian entrepreneur, Michele Romanow. Michele is a founder many, many times over and a Dragon on CBC's Dragons' Den (that's Canada's answer to Shark Tank, by the way). It was while she was on Dragons' Den that Michele got her idea for her best-known business to date: Clearco, a lending firm for businesses that takes a share of revenue instead of equity to give founders easier access to capital. Clearco has given billions to business owners to date, and has raised the bar for representing traditionally marginalized business owners. Michele talks about her first-ever founder experience (she started a caviar farm on the East coast of Canada with a couple of friends straight out of school), why she truly never takes anything for granted and she gets candid about how being an entrepreneur—no matter how much capital or name recognition you have—never gets easier. Still, she wouldn't have it any other way. Follow Michele on Instagram at @micheleromanow. Get your very own Workplace Affirmation Deck from Girlboss at girlboss.com/affirmations!

This episode is brought to you by Focus Features. We're doing something different with this week's episode. Today, Avery has two separate chats with two women involved with our new fave film, Polite Society. First up is the film's director, Nida Manzoor, who talks about the power of women's rage, why we need to center girls as the stars of action films and how she handled years and years of rejection before finally get the green light to direct her dream project. The second half of the episode is a conversation with one of the film's leads, Ritu Arya. Ritu and Avery talk about Lena, the character Ritu portrays in the film, how it's ok not to have everything figured out and how an actor actually memorizes their lines (it's not what you think!). And, seriously, Polite Society is a must-see. This highly anticipated movie from Focus Features follows Ria Khan, a Pakistani-British high schooler slash martial artist-in-training who plans a wedding heist to save her older sister, Lena, from her impending marriage. It’s a merry mash-up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment, and bold and bloody action. It's out in theatres on April 28th.

Georgina Gooley is the co-founder of Billie, a razor and shaving brand that flipped the conversation by being the first to show women's hair in their advertisements.

That kind of success can easily go to a founder's head, but Gooley keeps an even keel, and maintains that fulfillment is more important than success. Avery speaks to Georgina about getting her start in NYC's advertising world, what keeps her up at night and work insecurities.

The co-founders met at university while studying commerce, and became fast friends and eventually, roommates. Hyla and Adrien were on a trip in the Amalfi Coast and they couldn't find swimsuits that were flattering and curve friendly.

The Forbes 30 Under 30 founders share how they started an ecommerce business with no business experience, the women who inspire them on their entrepreneurial journey and what it’s really like to go into business with your best friend.

Have you ever been frustrated with how the world works? Then when you try to change it, you realize how big the problem is. Some of us would be overwhelmed by this thought, unlike our superhero guest. This week, Puno chats with Emily Ackerman, an engineering grad student and disabilities rights advocate bringing awareness to accessibility.  Emily’s viral tweet about a potentially life-threatening encounter with an autonomous delivery robot at the University of Pittsburgh, which was blocking a curb cut designed for people with disabilities like herself, is bringing attention to the issue.  This episode sheds light on how people overlook disabilities in the design process.

When Shivani Siroya founded Tala, she had a simple mission: To help overcome the barrier to accessing credit lines that people in developing economies face. Enter Tala, a finance and technology company that provides microloans and other financial services via its mobile app to people in countries like Kenya, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Today, it’s not uncommon to hear how highly successful entrepreneurs and C-level executives work with a fabulous life coach. But in the 90s, when Marie Forleo was in her early 20s, the practice of having someone “coach” you to be a better *you* was, well, a novel concept that required a lot of explaining. That didn’t stop Marie, though, from carving out a career path as a life coach—even if that meant a lot of bartending and waiting tables to make ends meet while she built her client roster. Now, Marie Forleo has built a thriving business that includes MarieTV, The Marie Forleo Podcast, the online business training program B-School and, a new book, Everything Is Figureoutable.

You've probably heard this before: Today's media landscape isn't what it used to be. It's a little less shiny, it’s harder to stay relevant, and it’s much harder to hold people’s attention and really make an impact through all the noise. But, if you've managed to do exactly that, consistently, for many years, across different publications—then you might just be someone by the name of Tina Brown. She led Vanity Fair magazine as its first female editor-in-chief, bringing the magazine back from near extinction and turning it into something glossy that mixed celebrities and glamour with news and politics in a way that nobody had really done before. She’s also the only woman to have ever edited the New Yorker. Most recently, she founded Women in the World—a summit that brings together luminaries from Michelle Obama to Meryl Streep to Oprah Winfrey. In today's episode, Girlboss COO Neha Gandhi chats with Brown about what it was like being the boss at 25, how she dealt with the boy's club of publishing, and why it's always a good thing to employ industry veterans as well as newcomers to the field.

What if taking a career break was the answer to recovering from burnout, reigniting your creativity, and achieving a better work-life balance?  It was for Dani Nelson!  With over 10 years working in the marketing industry, Dani transitioned from a full-time corporate gal working at Shopify and Canadian telecommunications company TELUS to full-time entrepreneurship as a content creator, marketing consultant, and Liberty Leave™ coach, dedicated to empowering women to take their own mini-retirements and explore the world (or rediscover what lights them up outside of work). Dani shares her concept of "Liberty Leave," a term she coined to describe the transformative power of stepping away from work to recharge and reflect. During her first sabbatical, she spent six months solo traveling in Southeast Asia, and now, she’s on her second one, living in Malaga, Spain. In today’s episode, Dani recounts her own journey from a demanding corporate career to a life filled with travel and self-discovery, highlighting the often-overlooked signs of burnout that can creep into our lives. But why aren’t career breaks normalized? How will you explain that gap in your resume to future employers? And what will your family think?!   Don’t worry! Dani covers it all while offering practical advice for those considering a sabbatical. We discuss the importance of financial planning and the emotional courage it takes to embrace the unknown, no matter what stage of your career. Spoiler: You have to be risk-averse! Dani inspired us to rethink our relationship with work and to understand that rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. And 2-3 weeks of vacation per year just isn’t cutting it. Curious about how to give yourself permission to take that much-needed break? You won’t want to miss this conversation.  ✈️ Follow Dani on Instagram + TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/danicasnelson/ + https://www.tiktok.com/@danicasnelson 🗺 Learn more about Liberty Leave here: https://libertyleave.com/  📷 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/   💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss   💌 Subscribe to our daily newsletter: https://girlboss.com/pages/newsletter   💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/  📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?

If you have a business idea, chances are at some point you start thinking about how you can best win over potential investors. How can you get them to say 'Yes!' to your big idea? And, more importantly, how can you get them to take out their checkbooks, too? On this week's #GirlbossRadio episode, Sophia Amoruso talks with Suzy Ryoo, who has spent the better part of her career strategically analyzing companies and determining whether or not they’re worth the financial investment.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mentor Memos, the new podcast from the Girlboss Radio Network, produced in partnership with TRESemmé. In each episode, Girlboss COO Neha Gandhi chats with a different pair of mentors and mentees about their relationship and the biggest lessons they’ve taught each other. For our first conversation, we hear from the one and only, Cecile Richards, founder of Supermajority and former CEO of Planned Parenthood. While Cecile was at Planned Parenthood, she worked with Kersha Deibel, who soon expressed interest in rising as a leader within the organization. Over time, Cecile began mentoring Kersha and connecting her with other people who could help her advance. Fast forward to today, and Kersha acts as the CEO to Planned Parenthood in Ohio. Cecile continues to watch and stay a part of her mentee’s career by uplifting and providing opportunity whenever possible. Tune in to hear how Kersha first approached Cecile about a mentorship, how the two contribute equally to the relationship, and why it’s so important to have female women in leadership roles.

Yes, you read that right, $600,000. That's how much Vivian Tu was making as a strategy sales partner. Before that, Vivian cut her teeth on Wall Street as a trader with JP Morgan after graduating from the University of Chicago, the best economics school in the world. During the pandemic, Vivian decided to quit her full-time job to start YourRichBFF because she noticed all of the questionable financial advice swirling around the internet. What started as a side-hustle has grown into a thriving business. Through her podcast, Networth and Chill, her newsletter EnRiched and her viral Instagram (@your.richbff) and TikTok accounts (@yourrichbff), Vivian shares no-BS financial advice in a tangible, approachable way.  Avery chats with Vivian about how she found a way to stand out as a Wall Street intern, the process of climbing "Cringe Mountain" to find her way to success as a content creator, and whether she's been able to match her former salary as a full-time content creator (we won't spoil that one for you). Oh, and Vivian dishes out some truly great financial tips, of course. Get your very own Workplace Affirmation Deck from Girlboss at girlboss.com/affirmations!

Cyndi Ramirez will be the first to tell you that the idea of opening her own spa and manicure location, much less one ready-made for the age of Instagram, never occurred to her. Indeed, it wasn’t until Cyndi was out with her husband and looking for a massage spot (and perhaps even a manicure) that the origins of what would later become Chillhouse, crept into her mind. Today, Ramirez has built Chillhouse into a brand that goes beyond the spa and wellness hub of New York City. Instead, it's a company and brand dedicated to self-care. On this episode, Girlboss founder and CEO Sophia Amoruso chats with Ramirez about how you get your first customers, what it's like to work with PR and how you can scale your brand.

AI is everywhere. So what does that mean for jobs? Are they all going to be obsolete in the next 10 years? And how can we prepare ourselves—and our careers—for the future? In this episode, Dr. Joy Buolamwini answers all of your most pressing AI questions. She is the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, an award-winning researcher, and a “poet of code.” As the author of the national best-selling book Unmasking AI, Dr. Joy has dedicated her career to uncovering and addressing racial and gender biases in artificial intelligence. With degrees from both Oxford and MIT, and recognition as one of Forbes’ Top 50 Women in Tech, she shares invaluable insights and advice for navigating the complexities of this ever-changing technology. In the age of AI, protecting ourselves starts with knowing our rights and options—like the right to refuse facial recognition technology at airports and identifying which AI tools are ethical (and which ones aren’t—looking at you, ChatGPT).  In our conversation, Avery and Dr. Joy dive into the positive sides of AI and the future of work, exploring how it can enhance feedback, boost efficiency, and streamline summarizing information. But she also emphasizes the importance of being cautious about how we adopt AI, both in our workplaces and beyond. Dr. Joy shines a light on the real consequences of flawed systems, particularly for marginalized communities, leading to wrongful arrests, misidentifications, and discriminatory hiring. She highlights how crucial representation and storytelling are in raising awareness about the limitations and biases of AI. So, while AI isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, we hope this conversation eases your anxiety, and offers you the knowledge and perspective needed to engage thoughtfully with the technology shaping our world. It’s better to prepare for the future than try to avoid it. 👋 Follow Dr. Joy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/poetofcode/  👩‍💻 Learn more about Dr. Joy here: https://www.poetofcode.com/  📖 Read Unmasking AI: https://fave.co/47Behe0 📺 Watch Coded Bias on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/81328723  🤖 Read more about AI and the future of work: https://girlboss.com/blogs/read/tagged/ai 📷 Follow Girlboss Radio on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlbossrally/  💻 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/girlboss  💌 Subscribe to our daily newsletter: https://girlboss.com/pages/newsletter  💼 Find your dream job or post open roles: https://jobs.girlboss.com/ 📚 Did you know Girlboss has courses?
