What's the right path for me, and how do I know if I'm on it? How can I figure out and fulfill my own potential? Many of us spend years asking ourselves those questions, and don't have easy answers. And that's ok, because life isn't linear. Think of it like a heart monitor: the sign of life isn't a flat, straight line; it's a constantly fluctuating, vibrant zigzag. But that doesn't mean we have to figure it out on our own. From CEOs to the CIA, and from tech founders to designers and journalists, join me for candid conversations with incredible women on how they got to where they are, and what they've learned along the way.
Christina Wallace on building "The Portfolio Life"
Christina Wallace is a Harvard Business School lecturer, serial entrepreneur, and self-described ‘human Venn Diagram.’ She joins us to go in depth on her new book “The Portfolio Life,” a thought-provoking takedown of our outdated concept of work-life balance, with deeply practical advice on how to build a life that, in her words, is bigger than a business card.
*Why having a ‘solid career path’ is no longer the path to a stable future
*How to leverage your skills to transition between seemingly unrelated careers
*Establishing an identity bigger than your job
*Why everyone should create their own personal ‘board of directors’
And much, much more.

Singer & Musician Riff Cohen on Creation, Fear, and Femininity
She's a globally successful singer-songwriter, musician and composer who sings in Hebrew, Arabic and French. Riff Cohen's music doesn't fit neatly into any one category - it's been described as modern Middle Eastern Rock or Algerian folk, but it's also the kind of sound that blends influences so vividly, it's better to just listen instead of label. She was born to parents of Tunisian and French-Algerian origins, raised in Israel, and took an artistic scholarship in Paris, where her appropriately titled hit debut album, 'A Paris,' was born. She's since toured the world and released two more albums. Amid work on her fourth, Riff spoke candidly about the all-consuming process of creation and the fear of releasing it into the world, on discovering her femininity, and on learning to live peacefully with her fierce inner critic - and to own her success.
