Hi, I'm Carly Zagen.

And I'm Danielle Weisberg, and we're the co-founders of The Skim.

Welcome to our podcast, Skimmed From the Couch.

On every episode we invite smart, inspiring successful women to chat candidly about what it

takes to get to the top and then what it's like when you actually get there.

So this is a podcast about the real stuff, the crappy days, the bad advice, the first big career win, and the people

who are there for the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

We started the skim from a couch, and we have only one rule on this one, no BS. So please join us in welcoming Michelle Promilego to our

couch. Michelle fell in love with magazines as a teenager so we're betting that the teenage version of Michelle

would be very happy that we're introducing her

as the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan.

But before that, she built a career

heading up publications like Women's Health and Yahoo Health. She's also

also written two books and is trained in transcendental meditation.

We are going to ask you about that.

Welcome to the catch, Michelle.

Yes.

I'm kind of shocked that you even know what it is.

For those that don't know what YM is, I think you should go look it up.

But YM was my favorite magazine.
