<p>In this special edition of Vital Voices Live, host <strong>Norah O’Donnell</strong> sits down with editors-turned-authors Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill to celebrate the launch of their new book All the Cool Girls Get Fired: How to Let Go of Being Let Go and Come Back on Top. Together, they unpack their own career turns—from top-tier magazine leadership to the moment of being let go—and share how those experiences became the catalyst for something bigger: a movement to reclaim professional self-worth, rewrite the narrative around job loss, and build resilience.</p><p>Tune in as they discuss themes from the book (including candid essays from high-profile women), offer practical advice on bouncing back, and open up about redefining ambition on their own terms. This is a conversation about how to turn a setback into a strategic pivot—and why the coolest girls aren’t those who never fail, but those who rise up when they do.</p>
