On this Live Greatly podcast episode, Kristel Bauer sits down with the Founder of Equipt Women, author, and gender equality advocate Kelly Mooney to discuss career growth, motherhood, self-leadership, and how to let go of the "shoulds" that can shape how women define success. Kelly shares insights from her book, UP! The Playbook for Every Woman on the Rise, and opens up about navigating an ambitious career while raising a family. Tune in to hear a thoughtful conversation about advancing your career, elevating your earnings, making aligned decisions through different seasons of life, and creating success on your own terms. Key Takeaways From This Episode: How to let go of the "shoulds" and define success for yourself Tips to advance your career and elevate your earnings The importance of self-leadership in work and life How Kelly navigated motherhood alongside an ambitious career Why career decisions can evolve through different seasons of life Insights from Kelly's forthcoming book, UP! The Playbook for Every Woman on the Rise ABOUT KELLY MOONEY Kelly Mooney is a three-time author, speaker, board director of a public company, and longtime gender equality advocate. She's also a wife and mother of two who built her career while navigating the realities of modern work and family life. Over a decades-long career, she has experienced the full arc of the workplace—from intern to CEO—ultimately co-owning and leading the nation's largest women-owned digital agency, scaling it 15x, and later exiting the business to IBM, where she served as Chief Experience Officer for North America. Consistently ahead of the curve, Kelly anticipated the power shift from organizations to consumers, authoring The Ten Demandments and The Open Brand—the latter becoming required reading at Stanford and other universities. She also founded the Equipt Women Foundation and created Get Equipt, a widely read weekly career advice newsletter.  In her forthcoming book, UP! The Playbook for Every Woman on the Rise (Amplify; June 2026), Kelly and her sister Katy Mooney stress that the bigger issue isn't whether a woman works or stays home but the cultural habit of turning personal choices into universal mandates. When "success" is constantly redefined for women by trends or backlash to burnout, it distorts how they evaluate risk, ambition, money, and identity. The book offers a unique approach: no "shoulds," no one-size-fits-all formula, but a practical framework for self-leadership, financial awareness, and career wellness so women can design lives that flex with changing seasons.

If you enjoy Saints talk mixed with absolute nonsense, this episode is for you.Make sure to follow us on all socials @funnnyintheory What do you want to hear on the podcast? Send us a text!

On this episode of the 2 Minutes of Motivation: Live Greatly Podcast, Kristel Bauer shares a powerful insight to support health and longevity. Many busy professionals believe that getting in a daily workout is enough to support their health and energy. But there's a hidden habit that can quietly impact both—prolonged sitting.

On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with Tommy and Will Higham, co-founders of Lola Blankets, a rapidly growing home brand in the U.S., known for blending comfort, community, and purpose-driven growth. What started as a deeply personal mission—honoring their mother, Amy ("Lola"), after she passed away from breast cancer—has evolved into a brand that has sold hundreds of thousands of blankets, built a loyal community, and donated over $500,000 to breast cancer charities. Kristel, Tommy, and Will explore the story behind Lola Blankets' rapid rise, what it takes to build an authentic and emotionally connected brand, and the mindset shifts that support sustainable success as entrepreneurs. They also share insights into managing stress as founders, and staying grounded while scaling a fast-growing company. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on entrepreneurship, resilience, and building something meaningful that resonates. Key Takeaways From This Episode: How Lola Blankets was created from a deeply personal story and purpose Why community and emotional connection are central to brand growth The role of authenticity in building trust and long-term success What has fueled Lola Blankets' rapid growth Creative approaches to marketing and standing out in a crowded space Tips for entrepreneurs looking to build and scale a meaningful brand Tips for how founders can manage stress and sustain performance while growing a business ABOUT WILL & TOMMY HIGHAM Tommy and Will Higham, the co-founders of Lola Blankets—one of the fastest-growing home brands in America that's redefining what a "cozy" company looks like.  At just four years old, Lola Blankets sold 600,000 blankets in a single month last November and completely sold out within 48 hours. With 20,000+ five-star reviews and over $500,000 donated to breast cancer charities, this isn't just a bedding company—it's a brand built on emotional connection, bold marketing, and purpose-driven growth. For background, the brand launched in 2021 and was created in honor of their mother, Amy—nicknamed "Lola"—who found comfort in her faux-fur blanket while battling breast cancer.  Tommy, a designer and social media creative, built Lola's distinct aesthetic and cult-favorite brand identity. Will, a former management consultant, architected the operational scale behind explosive growth. Together, they've transformed a traditionally "sleepy" category with unexpected, fashion-forward marketing—becoming the first home brand to stage a fashion show during NYFW and even gifting Polaris RZRs to top creators to drive sales momentum. They've collaborated with names like Tezza, Aviator Nation, and LANY—and often maintain waitlists for their machine-washable faux-fur blankets.
