Summary

This week I spoke with the iconic writer and editor Christene Barberich. I first knew of her as the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Refinery29. I’ve loved her work for years, through R29, her own writing, and the podcast she hosted for many years called Unstyled, so when recent guest Erika Veurink connected us, I was thrilled. We spoke about starting R29 and what that time was like, reflecting on some of her best interviews with everyone from Linda Rodin to Jenny Slate. She also talked about leaving her role there and the excitement of new beginnings. At the root of her newest project, A Tiny Apt., is how the right environment fosters growth, creativity, safety and vulnerability, particularly as that relates to big dramatic change and leaps of faith. She discussed the changes she’s been navigating: becoming a mom later in life; the double standard of aging especially as it relates to work; how she’s redefining success and ambition as she enters this new era of her work and life. I loved getting to talk to her and I’m eager for her to return. Let us know if you listen!

1:14.9	And I was so inspired by the way she spoke to people and the conversations that she led on that show that I hope I did her justice having this conversation with her. I had really copious notes of

1:38.9	tight amount of time, I find I am not as good at this, but hopefully she comes back and not saying I'm good
1:48.6	at this anytime, but I wanted to put as many pennies in her jukebox and have her talk about
