Welcome to In Her Shoes, presented by The Cut. I'm Lindsay Peoples-Wagner, editor-in-chief

of The Cut. And for the next few weeks, I'll be taking over this feed and talking to

women that we at The Cut love and admire or just find interesting. We'll explore how

they found their path, what got in their way, and how they think about bringing others

along now that they've arrived.

This week, I'm very excited to chat with the one in Only Hilary Tuff. She's a former
