“Loneliness is the thing that's keeping women from rising and I don't want to see that anymore.” As part of her research for The Li.st, Ann Shoket uncovered a staggering statistic: 80% of women in white collar careers are lonely because of their jobs. As heartbreaking as that is, it didn't surprise Ann, who as the former editor of Seventeen and CosmoGIRL magazines, is no stranger to the loneliness women face as they rise higher up the corporate ladder. Now as CEO of The Li.st, Ann is on a mission to combat the loneliness epidemic for women in the workplace and foster community and connection so that women can show up as their full selves.Join us for an empowering conversation, as Erin and Ann discuss redefining traditional notions of power, embracing vulnerability, and offer actionable strategies for women to cultivate connections and reclaim agency in their professional lives, including:Why women often struggle to reconcile their authentic selves with their careers, leading to loneliness or an inability to fully express themselves at work.Redefining power as collaborative, transparent, and inclusive helps create environments where women feel empowered to thriveWhy employers have a responsibility to combat loneliness and create environments that foster transparency and collaboration"Community cultivators" and nurturing “micro-habits” of simple check-ins and offering connections or support.The difference in how loneliness is created/triggered by men and women in the workplaceHow to stop seeking permission and instead gather like-minded individuals to drive change in the workplaceOUR GUEST: CEO. Media Brand Builder. Next Gen Expert. Author and past Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen magazine. With each achievement in her career, Ann Shoket used her platform to help women step into their power and to redefine ambition and success for a new generation. Shoket has made her mark launching or reimaging media brands including CosmoGIRL and Seventeen. Most recently, as CEO and Owner of TheLi.st, a nationwide community of high-impact women and under-represented leaders, Shoket is redefining the intersection of content, community and connection.

hey,Once upon a time, I was the poster girl for ambition. So much so that 16 years after I stopped working, The Cut profiled me for their ambition series. And I fondly remember the fun New York Times profile entitled, “Coconut Shrimp? Ambition Can Wait,” in which the late, great David Carr referred to me as “one of the most ambitious editors in New York.” Fun fact: I had explosive diarrhea during the Bubba Gump leg of our Dining Out voyage and I even got some

The Weeknd is starting to use his given name, Abel Tesfaye.This feels meaningful to me. You know what they say. Words are spells. And if words are spells, then your name must be the personal spell you cast on the world. Or at least that's what I always thought. After all, when I got married at age 26, I changed my name in the masthead of Cosmopolitan even before it was official so the issue that hit newsstands after my August wedding would reflect this new and improved version of me. I was no longer Atoosa Behnegar, the kid at home no one noticed or cared about…this background character of my family and school communities so who desperately wanted to be seen and cherished. I was finally seen and cherished by this boy who put me above everything else.But wait, let's back track. When I first met him at 23, I didn't think we could possibly have a future simply based on his last name. Rubenstein. Atoosa Rubenstein? I just couldn't see it. I was born a Shiite Muslim and immigrated to the US from Iran. If I married him, I would be identified as Jewish for the rest of my life. It didn't bother me, it just felt like false advertising. But honestly? I was 23 and living the dream in NYC. Surely this guy wouldn't be The One anyway – I mean, I wasn't searching for a husband, I just wanted a side kick for Tasti-D-Lite runs and watching 90210. But as luck would have it, just a few years later, I would become Atoosa Rubenstein. And it didn't feel weird at all. I was proud…thrilled…all good things.There was one hiccup.I didn't get along with his family. The reasons don't really matter. They didn't feel they could be themselves around me…and frankly, they were right. It was a mismatch. The real mismatch had nothing to do with religion, but they did want to hide the fact that I wasn't Jewish from his religious grandmother who cared very much if her only grandson married a goy. They relied on this grandmother for approval (and other things). They didn't want her to know about me or our upcoming wedding….but OBVIOUSLY, she ultimately she found out. Now that I'm around the age his parents were back then, it's kind of funny to think of people my age lying but perhaps it's funny imagining myself lying to anyone…much the less my family. But I certainly was a liar back then. And you know what they say: You attract the energy you vibrate so in retrospect I guess it makes perfect sense.Sidebar:Today, whenever I meet a younger person who eye rolls their beloved's family of birth, I am quick to mark it as a red flag. Even if your significant other is the literal OPPOSITE of their family, pay attention to how you feel around said family. It's important. There's a reason for the old cliché the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And I don't mean that as an insult. People should be like their families. It's natural and normal. But sometimes when a family has a lot of trauma, a kid may reject the family thinking that by simply rejecting the people, they can bury the dysfunctional patterns. But I've experienced that without therapy and processing, those vibrations stay within us and will pop out like proverbial zombies from the psychological ground they're buried in.  Date someone whose family you really like, please. Your partner does morph back into a card-carrying member of his family of birth eventually and you want that to feel like a good thing!Okay – my public service announcement is over. Back to spilling tea.One week to the day before my own nuptials, we went to another wedding. His whole family was there. In fact, to this day, it was the most beautiful wedding I'd ever attended. For sure, after all these years as a New Yorker, I've been to fancier weddings. But it was the first fancy wedding I'd ever been to and nothing else will ever touch it in my mind. So beautiful in spirit and vibe. But at the very end as we're leaving, in a scene right out of a bad movie, his grandmother called him over to her wheelchair, motioned to me and croaked, “Why, Ari, Why?” I wish I could unhear her voice.One. Week. Before. Our. Wedding.My husband, who always had (emphasis on had

The purpose of this letter is to share my experiences in case you relate. I'm not a doctor or a therapist…but I would TOTALLY play one on TV if you ask nicely.

I understand about New Year's resolutions. Meaning, I get the appeal. I used to write really neatly every September and promise myself that this year…THIS year I would finally be the buttoned-up student I knew was hidden somewhere deep inside of me. But by October, without fail, I could only open my locker an inch to grab one book at a time or else I'd have an avalanche. Nah. New Year's resolutions have never been anything more than a message from my internal patriarchy that I would, inevitably, rebel against. Useless.I do something else.I have an intention.But it's not an intention to be someone different or to even a better version of myself.It's an intention to explore a path. To see what's on the other side of something I'm struggling with.Like last year, I really wanted to explore the love thing. As you know (in excruciating detail…sorry!) I had a habit of falling in love with men that were broken. I didn't see them as broken. I saw them as totally sexy and interesting. But then I'd get cut with their jagged pieces and be looking at my friends like, “How did this happen??” 2022 was about figuring out WTF was happening once and for all. I went on many intentional journeys inside and outside myself with various therapists, healers and men (and for a spell, no men at all) to better understand my wiring. And for the first time in my life, I'm in a relationship with a healthy person. I'll write more about that shift in the weeks to come, but today I want to write about what I'm exploring this year.This may come as a surprise to you.(Or if you really know me, maybe not.)I was a bully.And sometimes, I still am a bully.I'd written ad nauseum at CosmoGIRL! and Seventeen about how inadequate I felt as a teenager. It was something we had in common, right? Something all people feel at one time or another. But I don't think I ever told you that I was also a bully. Sensing another girl's vulnerability really jammed me up. Today, as an adult, I realize that it was because I needed to keep my own vulnerabilities buried. Or at least that's how I felt. I didn't really have grownups in my life with bandwidth for what I was going through, so my young mind decided my shit had to be buried and I needed to be tough. It felt like a matter of survival.In grade school, I targeted more vulnerable girls doing goofy, but still hurtful acts like putting a spider down their shirt. In high school and college, I would gossip or turn my friends against whoever I was choosing to target. I also seemed to always have one girl in my friend group on my radar and ever so gently kept my metaphorical foot on their throat by gossiping about or excluding them. It sickens me to think about it and embarrasses me to admit it. I have compassion for and forgive the traumatized girl I was. And I have so much compassion, love and respect for the girls I hurt with my unconsciousness.Fast forward to my career. Being a bully in the media industry was a positive attribute, so there was certainly no pressure to be introspective about this part of my character. I was a thug amongst thugs. I broke phones when I was angry, blacklisted people I felt slighted by, used the media to my advantage. As I worked my way up the ladder, I frequently maneuvered to get people I didn't like fired and yet always managed to have a very “nice guy” reputation. I know. It's upsetting to me, too. That was the way the game was played, and I was a natural at playing it. And if you were looking for proof that bullies are cowards underneath it all: As an Editor-in-Chief, I didn't like firing people so I would turn the heat way up under someone's ass when I was done with them so they would quit on their own. Anyway, you know the cliches, you've seen the movies. I was a bad bitch, and I was rewarded for it.And yes, I bullied my husband.We've all had friends married to a woman like me.I was that woman.I remember at one point in our relationship, I went on an SSRI. I was feeling super anxious: I was transitioning from CosmoGIRL! to Seventeen, had just gotten back together with him after a separation, we were moving, and in general I treated him like an emotional punching bag. I knew it wasn't right and I wanted to fix it. The Paxil worked like magic…but just as things started settling down, he begged me to get off of it. He didn't like the milder, gentler me. He said I wasn't myself anymore. He'd rather have the “real” me instead of this new agreeable, sweetie-pie.That was always interesting to me. You know what they say: It takes two to tango. He was actively choosing the bully and hell; it was a role I was born to play. When he and I finally decided to separate, it felt like a director had yelled, “Cut!” and we both dropped the scripts we'd been play acting for the past quarter of a century. Leaving my marriage felt like an important step in my ability to explore who I was beneath that role.But here's when I realized I still have a whiff of the bully blueprint.Like you, I see a lot of girls I went to high school and college with on social media. But there is one particular girl who follows me on IG and frequently makes lovely comments. But I simply wouldn't follow her back. My friend Stephen uses the word, “thirsty.” I'm sure you know what he means. Too eager, too desperate. This girl was always a nice girl yet she has and had an intense need to be liked that clearly triggered my own similar feelings. Here I was at 50 years old, not following her back. That felt just bitchy. Clearly there's something in me that's also “thirsty” and I'll be sitting with that in the coming weeks and months. And yes, of course, once I realized I was intentionally not following her, I immediately followed her back.Admitting this stuff is so “cringe” as my 14-year-old would say.But there you have it. My intention for the year…my 2023 exploration. I suspect there will be many amends to be made. And many questions to consider: Why was I a bully? In what ways am I still one? What are the super tender feelings that the bullying part of me is protecting? Being that big-time Editor-in-Chief clearly kept those vulnerable feelings at bay. But today? I've got no big time anything to hang my hat on or to give me an externalized feeling of worthiness. Let's see what's under my well-honed strategy to manipulate and control people. I don't need to be a bad bitch anymore. Or at least, I'd like to use my power intentionally and wisely and not out of fear and insecurity.Oh, and when a friend or partner tells you something hard to hear about yourself when you're fighting and/or break up? Honestly? They're probably right to some extent. You may not be ready to hear it in the moment and for sure, it's likely not as black and white as they may be making it. But hold it in your pocket and take it out for examination every so often. That's how I got to this bully piece. I've been called a bully before, but I wasn't ready to hear it. My sense of safety was too tenuous. I would hide behind all the good things I've done to protect myself and I had no shortage of friends who would join me in scoffing at the notion that I was anything other than a good guy in any given narrative. But I feel safe enough now and I can hold it all with compassion and love all around. Looking forward to seeing where this path leads me but for now? I'm just sitting with some healthy shame. And that's okay. It's all part of the process. To be continued, to be continued.Let me know if there's something someone's said about you that just may be true…xo atoosaSoundtrack of my

As we creep toward the holidays, I want to talk about what makes life and relationships hard.Here's what has been hard for me in case you can relate:1-I'm going through a divorce with some not-easy-to-digest details. But unlike a friendship that isn't working, you can't walk away altogether from a relationship once you've procreated with the person, right? We have children and so we must co-exist while we disentangle. I can meditate 24 hours a day, but that doesn't change the fact that Divorce Sucks, plain and simple. And my divorce kinda sucks extra hard.  2- I was abused as a child, and no matter how much therapeutic work I do around that, a part of me is still angry about it. As goofy as it sounds, I've been waiting to be loved unconditionally by my mother and spoiler alert: It's not going to happen in this lifetime. I don't think about it all day but certain times…like now as I go through this divorce and really need my people to have my back…plus, with Thanksgiving coming up…it's been bubbling up for additional processing.3-Almost any Iranian you know is feeling a lot of feels right now because of the crisis in Iran. For me, I can explain it this way (and this is a very personal issue so I'm sure other Iranians would and could feel different feelings about it all). I spent my childhood being very ashamed of being Iranian: The way women were treated, the hostage crisis, the violence. And then when 9/11 happened, it opened that wound again. I was an Editor in Chief at CosmoGIRL! on 9/11 and I remember one of the Hearst Executives asked me if I felt any bigotry in the aftermath of the attacks as an Iranian and tbh, I kind of froze. I had spent my entire life trying to be as American as possible. He was asking out of genuine caring, which is so beautiful, but a part of me felt totally exposed as one of THEM. And of course, by THEM I meant a terrorist. An extremist. Because the regime change happened when I was a child, I didn't have the maturity or the intellect to really understand that this wasn't Iran. It was the religious regime. Just like we had a President in the US recently who didn't represent many of our views…except the regime in Iran is a dictatorship and as such much worse, more violent and extreme. (The Mullahs actually believe women are no different than farm animals and God made them look like man so man wouldn't be scared.) So, all these years of uncomfortable tightening around my cultural identity…it's all very exposed and tender now. And every person suffering, fighting, dying over there to have an ounce of what I enjoy so freely…I feel powerless to help them. And yet they are fighting on behalf of all Iranians: Fighting for Freedom vs. Fear.Freedom vs. FearThis is the same battle I have fought my entire life.Freedom versus Fear had been at the core of every conflict for me. Like, my fear keeps grasping for the mother who birthed me to have my back instead of leaning into the freedom to be my own mother. The fear of the choices my husband is making and how they may impact our children versus the freedom of letting him blaze his own path and accept that he is their father for better or worse and they will work through it, as I did with my own parents.Freedom versus Fear.And so, I've spent the last few weeks, working on another F- word. Forgiveness. I realized that when I'm gripped by the fear of letting go there is an absence of Forgiveness. I was having trouble forgiving my husband for his betrayals. Trouble forgiving my mother for her inability to be able to protect me. Even in Iran, today. Many Iranians would disagree with me but I feel I must forgive the Mullahs for taking our beautiful country and putting it behind bars. They have taken the stunning spiritual creativity of our people that created the greatest visionaries of all time like Rumi and Hafiz and putting them in boxes so they have to contort in the most cruel ways in order to be accepted. Did you know, for instance, a person can only be openly gay in Iran if they have gender reassignment surgery? We're talking about non-trans people who are having gender reassignment surgery so they can love who they love. And we're talking about generations of the most stunning women in the world who have had plastic surgery in droves to change their gorgeous ethnic noses because their faces are the only thing that's allowed to be seen in public. And all the deaths. The deaths before this uprising and the senseless deaths during. So much death has come out of this fear-based government. I marched yesterday in New York. The chants have gotten angrier since my first protest many weeks ago. It's not hard to understand why. So many children have been killed. So many beautiful souls lost and imprisoned.And yet…I'm talking about forgiveness. Right now, it's too soon for the people in Iran to forgive the Mullahs because so much blood is being shed. They are fighting for their lives.But it's not too soon for us to bring the energy of forgiveness into our lives. I recently found that forgiveness is the key to freedom. I guess I always knew that conceptually. I mean, obviously it makes sense. But I just couldn't quite pull it off. I now understand that your mind can do many incredible things, but this is deeper than the mind. Forgiveness is energetic which is kind of like our own form of magic.This practice will truly blow your mind.My beloved friend and teacher, healer Caitlin Marino introduced a few prayers to me that were created by her friend and mentor Cindy Mattingly. And when I tell you doing this practice every morning yielded massive insight and results within a week on the divorce and mother front, I'm not exaggerating. This is magic.Okay – so I do this declaration every morning multiple times in a row inserting a different name each time at the beginning – it could be anyone I am angry or upset with or locked in something with that isn't peaceful. I tend to do my mother, my sister, my husband, his girlfriend and my last boyfriend. Sometimes I add the cousins who molested me and their father. I had a few other people who I felt a smaller charge with who have dropped out of the rotation because I only really needed to do this once or twice with them and I am totally not triggered by them anymore.The Forgiveness DeclarationI fully and freely forgive _____________.I release him/her mentally and spiritually.I completely forgive everything connected to the situation.I am free and he/she is free.It is a marvelous feeling.I release anyone and anybody who has ever hurt me.I wish for each and everyone health, happiness, peace and all the blessings of life.I do this freely, joyously and lovingly.When I think of any of these people who have hurt me, I say “I have released you and all the blessings of life are yours.”I am free and you are free. It is wonderful.Then when I feel I've cycled through everyone I feel a negative charge with, I move onto this prayer.PrayerDear Source,I am sorry for any pain and suffering I have caused anyone in the past, present or future. I ask to be forgiven and I forgive myself for those deeds I do not recall. I ask now for the power of love and compassion and make that my new path of choice. I am grateful for all the blessings I have and will receive.Thank you, thank you, thank you.And there you have it. What more is there to say but those words. So grateful to Caitlin for knowing what I needed and sharing this with me and grateful to Cindy for writing and creating these beautiful practices. I have been doing them for a few weeks and it has shifted me in ways that I can't adequately describe because it's a felt energetic experience. I simply feel lighter. I was struggling about Thanksgiving coming up so much so that I had asked one of my best friends if we could spend it with her and her family instead. But with this practice, I was able to, from a place of freedom and choice, decide to go to my mother's like we do every year. Doing the same thing as years past but coming from freedom instead of fear.Tomorrow I will start doing the forgiveness practice with the Islamic regime in Iran. I need to begin to heal my own past with them while I support my brothers and sisters in Iran fighting. I can continue to amplify the voices and plight of those who are in the belly of the fire, but I am not in that fire. I can begin to heal and pray that in time, they will win their freedom and have the privilege of doing the same. Please amplify their voices and suffering on social media so these beautiful people can enjoy the same basic human rights we take for granted every day.I'm going to take some time off for the holidays so I can deepen my spiritual practices. I'm going on a 7-day silent retreat and will be processing all the things I listed above. Please take it easy on yourself, too. These are challenging times for everyone. I hope these two practices I shared will help you during our time apart as enormously as they have helped me. Wishing you and your family peace, freedom and love. Wishing that for all humans. I will see you in January. Please email me if you need me. I really am here, 24/7 at atoosa@atoosa.com.xo, atoosaSoundtrack of my

I believe in naps. In fact, last week I was fifteen minutes late for a podcast taping with the brilliant woman photographed above (check out her new Substack), Isabella Di Stefano, because I was…yes, napping. I needed it!

Zelfvertrouwen! Daar gaat deze pod over. Van applaus van Drag Queens tot tranen van Vera, deze pod sluit niets uit. Hoe wordt confidence gevormd? Is geclaimd zelfvertrouwen lekker, of juist ontzettend delusional? Waarom is zelfvertrouwen zo hot? Hoe werkt zelfvertrouwen voor Vera en Leroy in hun open relatie? Hoe vindt je zelfvertrouwen in dating? Verder gaat de pod over tips en tricks voor een open relatie, de meest genante date van Vera en Leroy samen, Leroy's onzekerheid over z'n body-ody-ody tijdens modellenwerk, intimiderende Vera, hoe een theaterdocent kleine Leroy tot een do-re-mi dwong, hoe Vera leerde haar grenzen in seks aan te geven, de Cosmogirl, imposter syndrome, building your wings on the way down en rommelige seks met gezellige mensen. Spelen Vera en Leroy uit hoe je je confidence kunt vinden, of is het vooral prettig mee te luisteren hoe de twee de eindeloze reis naar zelfvertrouwen ervaren? Misschien sluit ook nu het een het ander niet uit.

I often make light of growing up as an Iranian immigrant in America during the hostage crisis. I'm from a very Red State part of a Blue State, if that makes sense. But I had no color-coded context for it as a kid. All I knew back then was that it was kind of uncomfortable being anything other than white and Irish- or Italian-American where I was from. I lived in a town where neighbors allegedly pooled money to buy a house before they would let a black family buy it. Luckily, I've heard it has become a lot more diverse in the past 30+ years since I've lived there.As a child, I never analyzed it. I just wished I could be like everyone else. I wished my parents didn't have accents and my mom cooked Ziti for dinner instead of the herb heavy stews my clothing always reeked of. I remember begging my friend Anthony to ask his mom why his clothes always smelled so fresh. I still remember the answer. Cheer. His mother used Cheer. I wanted to smell like Cheer instead of Khoreshte Gormeh-Sabzi.In my TEDx talk, I joked about being called Ayatollah Atoosa when I was a kid and having super hairy legs because I wasn't permitted by my mom, for cultural reasons, to shave them. And oh, how I wanted my kinky curls to look feathered like the coolest, most beautiful girls at school. I can laugh about it all today because I ended up growing up to be kind of attractive, successful and tbh…super Americanized.In fact, when I was on the front page of the New York Times Business section, the editors chose to do a little visual storyline of how my long, flowing jet black hair had changed from wild to sleek as I shifted from one magazine (CosmoGIRL!) to another (Seventeen).To be showcased in front of an international audience in this way when the girls back home in Iran had to hide their hair and femininity or risk being jailed or given lashes meant nothing to me at the time. I was so busy trying to fit in. Trying to earn my specialness…my worthiness. So thrilled to finally smell like Michael Kors (at the time) instead of my mother's stew.Today, looking at it from a place of maturity, stability and safety, it hits different. I see the incredible privilege I've enjoyed and continue to enjoy living in America. Listen, I never advocate for falling down news wormholes or doom scrolling because I don't think it's good for anyone's mental health. And I am not suggesting that now. But I encourage you to follow at least one social media account that solidly posts about what's happening in Iran. Some good options are @from___iran, @1500tasvir, @ranarahimpour_bbc, @YasharAli, @samanism, @collectiveforblackiranians And please share. The Islamic Republic shuts down internet access during turbulent times to control the information that gets out of the country and we can use our social media to show solidarity as the Iranians fight for what we enjoy with ease. The American news media is grossly falling short here. But thanks to the democratization of media, we can amplify their voices during these internet blackouts The younger generation, especially, are fighting so hard to break out of the tyranny they were born into...and my family and I narrowly escaped when we moved to America. We cannot see ourselves as advocates for women if we're not advocating for the women of Iran who have been held captive by their religious leaders for so long. And frankly, this isn't just about the women of Iran. This is about freedom of all expression in Iran including the freedom to love who you want, to wear what you want and to say what you want. And speaking of freedom of speech, I'm going to pivot.Unrelated…but related.While I was identified as Iranian for the first part of my life, at exactly the half point, I became Atoosa RUBENSTEIN and from then on, people identified me as Jewish, although I am not actually Jewish. I really enjoyed learning about the Jewish culture but one of the things I did not enjoy is how often I would encounter anti-semitism.I remember stopping for dinner at a TGI Fridays with my husband and our child while we were on a road trip. When they called our last name for a table, a group of teenage boys threw a coin in front of us and waited to see if we would pick it up. I blocked out what they shouted but they made their point abundantly clear.And antisemitism doesn't only happen in low-brow Red State areas. It just looks different.We once spent the summer in Locust Valley while we were in between apartments in the city. Locust Valley is a very wealthy community in Long Island known for its exclusive “waspy” country clubs like Piping Rock. Part of the privilege of having been an Editor-in-Chief is that I kind of assume I'm welcome anywhere.

TW: childhood sexual abuse This week Jamie chats with Atoosa Rubenstein, former EIC of and CosmoGIRL!, and founder of the Atoosa Unedited Substack. Jamie tells the story of how she met Atoosa 21 years ago while going on "The View," how much CosmoGIRL! and other teen magazines impacted millennial teen years, Atoosa's regrets as a leader, Atoosa's childhood sexual abuse by two family members, being a public figure going through a divorce and so much more! This was such a special episode for Jamie, as Atoosa was definitely a role model for her and all her friends growing up.

Hey,Ferris Bueller said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” We all know what he meant…and perhaps it's never been more true, right? Everyone I talk lately has been lamenting, “Where did summer go??”Raise your hand if you know someone who responds to texts in two seconds flat. Perhaps you ARE that person. Worse are the colleagues who are that fast. Worse? Better? I guess it depends on where you fall related to the transaction in question. Do they need something from you? Do you need something from them? Because what feels better than an instant text response to an urgent work question? I just had an endorphin rush simply imagining it.

I have a backlog of episodes! This is a conversation I did with Atoosa Rubenstein, former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen and founder of Cosmogirl, in January (

This week, Kate interviews millennial magazine icon Atoosa Rubenstein, former editor-in-chief of CosmoGIRL! And Seventeen magazine in the early-mid 2000s, who has now entered back into the pop culture spotlight with her Substack Atoosa Unedited. Kate and Atoosa talk about her rise to being the youngest founder and editor-in-chief in Hearst history, her experience in the glam magazine world in the aughts, celeb encounters, "Devil Wears Prada" moments, the benefits and downfalls of her inexperience in a leadership role, and her ultimate exit from the spotlight as a result of insurmountable burnout. She also speaks very honestly about her experience with sexual assault in her childhood, the importance of magazines in helping her identify it, and the passion she had for instilling confidence and bodily autonomy in young girls, even in an era we now side-eye as not being the most forward-thinking or body confident (understatement). They also talk about Kate's burning questions re: the heavy-hitting topics, e.g. her experience being a judge on America's Next Top Model and if someone made up all the puns in Trauma-Rama. Enjoy!

Hey,A lot of people have been asking me about ambition lately.I totally understand why. In the aughts, I was the poster girl for ambition, right? On the surface this young, overachieving Editor-in-Chief. Killing it at work and seemingly living the high life with the requisite house in the Hamptons, fancy car, NY Times headlines, seat at the Met Ball. I had two assistants: One was a full-time assistant just to answer reader letters most often asking, “How can I get to where you are?” To which I had crafted a detailed game plan to do EXACTLY what I did to get where I was in my career, nothing left out. And perhaps you got one of those letters and followed the game plan and if so, hi again. (And I'm sorry I steeped you in hustle culture so early. Really. I'm sorry.

Who better to deep dive the boom of the teen mags than legendary editor Atoosa Rubenstein!? As Founding Editor of CosmoGirl (at age 26!), and former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen magazine, Atoosa's magic was a blend of understanding the teenage experience, while being acutely relatable to her readers (this, despite living a life of glamour and high fashion in NYC should not be underestimated). After leaving the industry in 2006 (and yes, we chat about why), she re-emerged recently with her Substack Newsletter and Podcast of the same name, Atoosa Unedited. The best kind of guest, Atoosa is generous with her insight, nuggets of industry gossip (!), and the experiences she's grown from. Atoosa was synonymous with teen mags of an era--the late 90's/early 2000's during their heyday, where it felt like every women's magazine was piggybacking off the success of the teen mag boom by launching their own 'little sister' publication. Fast forward a decade, and teen magazines have all but ceased to exist in print, and only a few remain digitally.We cover so much ground here; including the decline of the magazine industry, Atoosa's remarkable career that spawned an army of teen girls to dream of publishing careers, the singular anatomy of the teen mags (Trauma-Rama anyone!?), and whether magazines in print form is worth saving. When we have so many digital options and influencers telling us how to dress and what to buy (with algorithmic accuracy!), what is the value, if any, of print?Atoosa also offers career advice to the grown up CosmoGirls who still dream of having a career like hers. I won't spoil it, but it involves being audacious. For a more dynamic experience, follow us on Instagram @haveyouheardpodcast.

Hey,You may have read the Q&A Yasmin Gagnè did with me in The Cut this past week. I made a funny reel about how when Yaz first walked into my apartment, minutes after greeting her, I dropped a huge glass bottle full of water and it shattered all over the place. It was an awkward nice-to-meet-you, for sure. But what really freaked me out was right as I was trying to clean up the crazy mess, Yaz, herself likely flustered because the whole thing was kind of jarring said, “Are you nervous? Don't be nervous!” Something about that little interaction activated me so much. I wasn't sure why, but I really wanted to figure it out. I felt drawn to talk to my former therapist from back when I was working. Since I usually just kind of go with my instincts and had plenty to catch up with him about….This week, I had a Zoom with Joseph, my therapist of 10 years.I wanted to tell him I was getting divorced (“I'm sorry to say I'm not surprised,” he said) and that I was dipping my toe back into the world-at-large again (He was pleased about that). I felt inclined to do a post-game of the old days with him. If his walls could talk…it would read like this Substack. But of course, it's not that simple. See, I'm the girl whose kitchen cabinets are perfectly lined up with OXO containers marked “cereal” and “flour” courtesy of my trusty label maker. You know my type, right? After talking to him, I realized I had done some of that with my emotional life, too. Sure, the labels are more confrontational: “Incest” “Infidelity” “Blind Ambition” but still fairly neat and digestible in these 1200-word Sunday snacks for you, my beloved reader.But after said post-game, I was as dismantled as the water bottle I mentioned earlier.“What was your impression about why I left my job, Joseph,” I asked him. His eyes got very big. “Don't you remember?”

Welcome to another episode of  Coffee N5 Podcast! Today on the show, we have with us Atoosa Rubenstein, author and former editor-in-chief of Seventeen and founder and editor-in-chief of CosmoGIRL!, to talk about how to create content with intention.Atoosa started her career in 1993 as a fashion assistant at Cosmopolitan, and five years later, she was promoted to senior fashion editor. This led to Hearst Magazine's president Cathleen Black asking Rubenstein to develop a concept for a new magazine. Forty-eight hours later, Rubenstein presented the idea of CosmoGIRL! and was offered the position of editor-in-chief, making Atoosa, who was 26 at the time, the youngest editor-in-chief.In 2003, she went on to become an editor-in-chief at Seventeen Magazine, where she reversed a five-year decline in Seventeen's newsstand sales and delivered total newsstand growth of 23% by the end of 2005.Today, she runs her own teen-focused web business, has written a book, started a consulting firm specializing in the youth market, and runs her own media platform, Atoosa Unedited. While writing her book, she gained a tremendous amount of experience in the art of print media.  Since we live in a digital media world, Atoosa shares great insight into how digital media avenues can create better quality content as opposed to the unplanned and fast-paced content that flies around. In today's world, digital media has grown to become more powerful than print media. The result is fast-paced, unedited content being shoved down our throats by the second - but what can the digital media era learn from the way content was being pushed at the time when print media was in vogue? How exactly can we start creating content with intention and not just for the sake of filling a space on people's timelines?

This week, Maria speaks with Atoosa Rubenstein.Atoosa Rubenstein is the author of Atoosa Unedited, an at-times confronting, at-times healing weekly letter on Substack where she models authenticity, self-love and acceptance for her readers. The former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine and Founder/Editor-in-Chief of CosmoGIRL! In 1998, Rubenstein created a prototype for CosmoGIRL! within 48 hours and was offered the job on the spot making her, at 26, the youngest Editor in Chief in the over 100 year history of Hearst Magazines. After a successful run at CosmoGIRL!, Hearst acquired Seventeen and tapped Rubenstein to turn the venerable title around. After just one year at the title, Rubenstein reversed a five year decline in Seventeen's newsstand sales and delivered a total newsstand growth of 23% within two years. She also conceived and was an Executive Producer on MTV's Miss Seventeen a series that debuted in the fall of 2005. The following year, Rubenstein left the industry altogether to undergo a grueling 13-year personal excavation and discovery mission that led to three of her own daughters and now, a twice-a-week love letter Atoosa Unedited, written for her beloved readers, now adults in their own right. Columbia University has honored her as one of the top 250 alumni through the ages. She has also been recognized by the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York as a Woman of Distinction. Rubenstein has been featured in Crain's New York Business' "40 Under 40" and Folio's "30 Under 30." She lives in Manhattan with her three daughters.

Today's Mold Talks guest is Atoosa Rubenstein, former editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine, founder of CosmoGirl, and content creator for the substack Atoosa Unedited. Before Atoosa's personal experience with mold, she admitted that she knew 0.000 percent about the fungus. Like anyone suffering from the effects of exposure, though, her awareness of and concern for indoor mold growth has changed drastically over the last few years.Atoosa's awareness of mold came years after moving into a brand new apartment in Manhattan. She and her family continued to experience ongoing symptoms and chronic conditions, but mold exposure never crossed her mind as a possible culprit. A chance discovery finally gave her the answers she was looking for and started her down the path to healing both her and her children. Now, she is focused on telling her story and bringing more awareness to this health hazard. Today's Talk: During this episode of Mold Talks, Michael Rubino sits down with Atoosa to discuss her long journey of suffering through mold exposure. After moving into a brand new Manhattan apartment, she couldn't pinpoint why she and her family continued to experience a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. She went to doctor after doctor, but no one could give her the answers as to what was triggering these adverse health reactions. Luckily, a chance conversation led her to consider getting her HVAC ducts cleaned out. The worker immediately spotted the mold, which triggered Atoosa's immediate response of moving her family out of the apartment. What followed was a long process of figuring out where the mold problem was so that they could work on getting their apartment back in order and safe for their family. Eventually, they unearthed the mold and got to work removing it from their home. Their path to healing took much longer to accomplish and highlighted just how much the exposure had affected her family. From an autism diagnosis to the constant need for a nebulizer and significant weight gain, it had slowly chipped away at all of their health and their normal, everyday lives. Thankfully, with the mold removed, she and her family were finally able to heal and get their bodies back into balance.“I really do consider mold to have been my teacher… It definitely is like a fire that you have to walk through. And in walking through it, there is a level of initiation and maturity that you gain.”https://www.themoldmedic.com/https://www.allamericanrestoration.com/Learn more about Atoosa Rubenstein at:atoosa.substack.comInstagram: @atoosarubensteinTikTok: @atoosarubenstein

She wrote books, was a columnist for CosmoGirl, was an expert on live TV shows, scaled GFB internationally and spoke to over 1 million people at live events. Erin learned the key to making true connection with others is to show up as yourself...and to always speak your truth.  Today Erin is a speaker, author, coach and strategist who works with individuals and companies like Google, NFL Super Bowl champions and University of Colorado.

Almost 7 percent of children between the ages of 3 and 17 in the United States have a developmental disability, the CDC reports, and the community is still largely under-served. Carissa Tozzi is changing that.    From an iconic New York City life as the entertainment editor of CosmoGirl and Seventeen to a publicist for social media influencers to the co-creator of an app for moms of children with special needs — Carissa Tozzi has done it all.   Tozzi saw a gap in the market: a community where moms could interact with other nearby moms — the app asks for your zip code — as well as vetted experts. True to her sense of style, Tozzi also created a virtual apparel outlet full of cool, fashionable clothes, toys, and interior decor, for this overlooked and often stereotyped community.   After her son, Wolf, was thought to have sensory issues as a toddler (later proven false) Tozzi became more aware of the challenges that parents — particularly moms — face when raising children with special needs. When Tozzi moved the next town over from a former colleague and power mom of two children on opposite ends of the autism spectrum, Wolf and Friends was born.    The app is designed to build a community for moms of children with special needs, both from a shopping and lifestyle perspective. The app also provides access to experts in the space with whom you can engage on Zoom, a store to browse brands that cater to children and moms, and much more.    On this episode of SheVentures, find out what it’s really like working with celebrities, the value of influencers, and how more brands could stand to accommodate this under-served community on this episode of SheVentures.
