Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm excited about this episode because I know many of you are navigating what I call The Everything Era – the decade-ish when we have to make 80% of most biographically significant life decisions all at the same time. Career, relationships, family, and identity are all intersecting, bringing immense pressure and expectations along with them.  We know what this feels like for us — inside our heads and circumstances and lives — but we don't always know what this feels like to other women. It's so easy to wonder, “Am I the only one struggling this way?” “Is anyone else going through this too?” So today, we're taking a step towards finding that out!  Our guests for today's episode are my new friends, Danielle Robay and Simone Boyce. Danielle is a TV host, journalist, and content creator known for her open-hearted + compelling interview style. Simone is a journalist and multidimensional storyteller who lives audaciously, leads with curiosity and embodies radical self-expression. Danielle and Simone are co-hosts of The Bright Side, a daily Podcast from Hello Sunshine. The Bright Side brings your daily dose of culture and inspiration – with the latest trends, celebrity interviews, and real conversations with women doing amazing things while navigating life's transitions, both big and small. Through their podcast and other projects, they've gathered invaluable insights into the challenges and successes women face in their careers, relationships, and personal growth — and basically, in this episode, I'm picking their brains about what they've discovered along the way.
