I’ve been on autopilot.

You know that feeling - you’re going through the motions and arrive at your final destination...but you aren’t quite sure how you got there?

There are endless reasons to check our realities at the moment, of course - but this one came out of a different direction.

As I was editing my “ums” and “buts” and “ahs” on the latest episode of Bound & Determined, I was stopped in my tracks.

Listening to the episode again, this time capturing a conversation between Olivia Schmitt and me, I was reminded why I started this podcast in the first place. The goal was to press “record” on the conversations I was having in real life. A chance to let a woman in who might not have someone a cubicle away that she can talk to - or an ally in the industry she can call.

We didn’t know when we recorded that we’d need these conversations more than ever today, and I can’t wait for you to listen.
