Hustle & Flow

Join me for a discussion about aging, improving our appearance, and social conditioning. As a feminist, it annoys me that I even care what I look like. But I do, especially as I age. Today’s Hustle & Flow podcast episode is less about advice and answers and more about my own thought-process, questions, and concerns. And an invitation for you to share your own thoughts around this topic. Chapters 00:29 - Why it took so long to record this episode 04:06 - Conditioning and the patriarchy 12:08 - What is our goal? 15:36 - Who are we doing it for? 20:01 - Wanting to fit in and belong 22:55 - Aging, negative thoughts, and options 30:23 - What’s the answer? Let me know your thoughts on aging, improving your appearance, and social conditioning.

We all know about the infamous Butker commencement speech, so I’m not going to share my views on that nonsense. But I am disappointed in the response by Jason and Travis Kelce on the New Heights Show. I’m a huge fan of the Kelce brothers and New Heights, which is why I’d like to break down the ways in which they (and many allies) get it wrong even though they think they’re being helpful. And, more importantly, how they can do better in the future.

I’ve not told too many people this, but I’m finally starting to share that I’m a full-time day-trader. Never in a million years would I have thought that would be my profession. It wasn’t something I planned. It kind of just happened. During my health sabbatical, I needed a way to distract my mind and make money without having to be public-facing. So, I decided to learn how to trade stocks. Fast forward 18-months, and I’m a professional full-time trader. Yes, I still have the podcast and lead retreats, but trading stocks has provided me more freedom and flexibility in prioritizing what brings me the most joy. In today’s Hustle & Flow episode, I’m sharing why I love trading so much, why I think everyone needs this skillset, and how you can start making short-term investments even as a busy professional.
