  • Death of the Girlboss: Gina on why feminism in the workplace needs an upgrade
    Jul 2 2025

    The Girlboss era promised empowerment...but did it deliver?

    I talk to Gina Clementi, founder of brand agency Goodstory and ex-Nike Global Digital Brand Manager for Nike Running and the London Olympics.

    We uncover how surface-level empowerment masked deeper systemic issues, and why it’s time to rethink what leadership and feminism really mean at work.


    Gina shares her experience navigating corporate giants like Nike and why she left to build something better. We talk burnout, performative feminism, pay equity (yes, she wants her 3 cents), and the future Gen Z is already creating. One with more care, more agency, and less BS.


    We discuss:

    • What we need to unlearn from the Girlboss playbook

    • How performative feminism shows up in the workplace

    • Why Gen Z’s rejection of hustle culture is a good thing

    • The role men must play in creating real change

    • Moving from pinkwashing to policy

  • Gen Z at work: Steph built a real community at 23
    Jun 15 2025

    TW: Sexual assault

    I have a conversation with Steph, the 23-year-old founder of Girls on the Go, a fast-growing UK community helping women combat loneliness and make real-life connections.

    Steph shares her journey from aspiring medic to community builder, opening up about pushing back on societal expectations, career pivots, and the personal experiences that fuel her mission.

    We chat about what real community means, how Gen Z women are redefining success on their own terms, and the delicate balance between authenticity and vulnerability online.

    Steph also reflects on healing, joy, and the power of saying “fuck it, we ball.”
