Did you ever have one of those co-workers who made a huge impression on you? They captivated you, motivated you, and you deeply admired their work and leadership? Well, that was Maisha Drayton for me. I met Maisha 11 years ago while working for a local nonprofit in Buffalo, and the moment I saw her speak, I wanted to know everything about her! Maisha is a leader in public health, and at the time she was the only woman of color in a senior leadership role in my workplace. I sat down with Maisha to chat with her all about her career journey, making choices for herself, race, privilege, and being a leader. Enjoy this beautiful episode with a woman I deeply admire!

Have you ever had a friend go through a transformation, and you didn't really know what was happening, but you could tell from a far it was something major? Well, my friend Cailin over the past four years completely turned her life upside down, and I sat down with her to chat about what exactly happened. At 32 years old, Cailin was thriving with a six figure coaching business, a cute apartment in Brooklyn, and a seemingly well put together life. The only problem? She had never had an orgasm. After she was diagnosed with MS her world changed completely, and she knew something was missing, and she had to chase it. Enjoy this incredible conversation about exactly what she did, how it's transformed her life, and now what sexuality and desire means for her and her business.
