Hey everyone, we're back.

The next season of Women at Work starts Monday, October 11th.

Amy Chi, how would you describe the tone of the episodes we're putting out?

Positive, reflective, but also forward-thinking.

Their conversations that process what women have been through during the pandemic

and how they've grown from those experiences.

I'm definitely more productive at work.

I think I add a lot more value.

That's the very obvious stuff.

But I think that what is not so obvious is that level of satisfaction.

That this was what I wanted.

That I was so afraid to give myself.

And it feels as good as I thought it would feel.

And in some cases the vibe isn't just positive but celebratory.

I'm specifically thinking about the episode where we showcase amazing female leaders

who supported their teams during the crisis.

I called up Elaine on the last day of January and I said, I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for everything you've done for me as a firm.

It pains me but I'm going to have to leave.

And she went, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no.

Let's figure this out.
