Summary

Welcome Yana & Emerson! Although these babes have chosen two vastly different career paths, they are both killing it in the same BOSS B*TCH ways. Yana, an Account Executive, explains how she went from nannying after college to her current career in sales after not knowing what she wanted to do. LISTEN UP COLLEGE STUDENTS - You WILL figure it out, we promise. We also get to hear about Yana's dating life as a 34-year-old, her childhood as a refugee who immigrated to the US with her parents, and how her past has played a part in her go-getter attitude.

Classycleanchic, or as some of you know her, Emerson, enlightens us on how her side hustle of blogging and partnerships, became her full-time career. She chats about the moment she was finally able to leave her engineering job and take her influencer life full-time. She includes what dating is like with a large following, TikTok trolls, and why she now avoids filters & photoshop. Emerson is as classy (and candid) as it gets. ;)

Syd & Soph feel lucky AF to not only have these intelligent women as their mentors but also as friends. The Straight Candid team loves ya!
