Golden Hour

This week Claire & Becca are joined by Georgetown Law student, Jade Baker. As a child, she lived in 14 states; in college, she went from being a highly regarded sprinter to a record-setting hammer thrower in just a year; and just a few weeks ago, she became the first-ever black female student body president of Georgetown Law! In today’s episode, Jade explains how her early life experiences and impressive resume have taught her the “art of adaptability”, how to be a great leader, and empowered her to take on the many pressures that often accompany being the “first” or the “only.”

In today’s episode, Claire & Becca are joined by Tik Tok icon, Grace Brassel! After a not-so-great experience with Greek life at the University of Delaware, Grace took to Tik Tok to make light of the whole situation and now has over 230k followers!!! In today’s episode, she explains how rejection jump-started her career, what it’s like to go viral overnight, and how becoming the president of her own spoof sorority, “Kappa Raffa”, has helped her grow in self-confidence. Most importantly, she reminds us that the hardest seasons of our lives don’t last forever (and spills a little tea here and there). So, whether you’re looking for some inspiration to level up or just a good laugh, you won’t want to miss this one.

In this week’s episode, Claire & Becca are joined by UCLA soccer player, Maddi Desiano. After being sidelined for three years due to injury, Maddi talks about the highs and lows of her rehab process and what it was like to finally play again! She shares a little bit about how her journey (and long-awaited return) taught her to be patient and helped her rediscover her love for the game. Whether you are battling an injury yourself or you’ve never played a sport a day in your life, we can assure you, there’s no place you’d rather be (or nothing you’d rather listen to😉)

Today Claire & Becca spend some time catching up, reflecting on season two so far, and reminiscing about middle school business ideas. Later in the episode, San Diego-based photographer, Brooke Brady, joins the conversation to share the truth about starting over, being your own boss, and the art of making things up as you go along.

This week Claire & Becca chat with Nia Augustine, a first-generation college student, yoga-lover, and advocate for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (also known as PCOS). Nia shares her symptoms and how she manages them, walks us through her fitness & meditation journey, and reminds us to “own it” at every stage of life.
