Your New Life Blend
Has there ever been a better time to decide what our lives should look like? We are emerging from a once-in-a-century cataclysm where our lives were upended, our communities remade and our priorities readjusted. Now as the call to return to "normal" grows more insistent, we get to ask the question: what does "normal" look like? Did the old normal serve me? What do I want my new normal to be? And what will that mean for my career, my community, and my family? These are the fundamental questions to building our lives - and now, rebuilding them. As a therapist and coach, Shoshanna Hecht has been wrestling with these very questions in her practice - and now, on this podcast. With guests from all walks of life including media, culture, politics, tech, business & activism, Shoshanna examines the overlap of our goals, relationships, boundaries and priorities, and how we can navigate them all with self-awareness and intention. What do we want our lives to look like? Welcome to Your New Life Blend.
Your New Life Blend
Jo Piazza, Prolific Storyteller
Jo Piazza "can't stop making things" - podcasts, novels, non-fiction books, newsletters, books by characters on popular TV shows, and most recently, companion podcasts to soon-to-be-released novels, in this case, a true crime podcast about the based-on-a-true-crime novel that is also based on her great-great-grandmother. This, like most sentences about Jo Piazza, is not an exhaustive list. From her early-career days as a gossip reporter for the NYC tabloids to her far-flung days as travel writer to her career as a bestselling author of many books to her pivot to producing and hosting podcasts (plural) while still writing books (plural) to writing a chatty, newsy, fun newsletter about all of it, Jo has built a career around telling stories. In between she got married (wrote a book about marriage) and had three kids (has a podcast about motherhood), and, with her latest book, "The Sicilian Inheritance," tells a story of women and adventure - that just so happens to feel close to home. In this (very fun) episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht sits down with Jo to discuss what it feels like to become the CEO of your own brand, why she loves writing for women, and why she loves telling the world about brave, badass women.
