  • Delusional Optimism & Other Mid-Year Strategies
    Jun 17 2025

    In this almost-Q3 episode, Karen and Kelly check in on their goals, their energy levels, and how life has shifted (or... hasn’t) since their Q1 reflection. Karen opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of letting go of her former career and embracing the mess and momentum of building a business—from LinkedIn bravery to a Wall Street Journal feature. Kelly talks about consistency at the gym, building community in unexpected ways, and finding steadiness through habit.

    They talk about hiring help, learning to (do the) hustle, the restorative magic of seeing friends’ babies, and the surprising power of seeing someone else live their weirdest, truest artistic life.

    This one’s about moving forward—even if it’s slow, sideways, or slightly unhinged.

  • Ep 17 Taking Back the Interview
    May 20 2025

    In this episode of Napping on a Tuesday, we get into the power dynamics of interviews and share our insights from both sides of the Zoom screen. Interviews should be a two-way street, but too often, they feel like awkward performances. We unpack how to reframe the process in real time and reclaim your agency—even if you find yourself in an interview that feels more like a CIA interrogation. From prepping with purpose to regaining control mid-conversation, we explore tactical ways to stay grounded. We also cover small mindset shifts to ease anxiety, and how thank-you notes aren’t just polite—they’re strategic. Plus, why offering feedback to your interviewers might just change the game. If you’ve ever walked out of an interview thinking what just happened?—this one’s for you.
