All Of It

Recently, Sheryl Sandberg announced that she would be stepping down as COO of Meta, formerly known as Facebook. Sandberg made a name for herself as one of few high profile C-suite women, and encouraged a generation of women to follow in her footsteps with her book Lean In. But the legacy of Lean In is complicated, as more women have begun to question who that methodology leaves out... and wonder why the focus should be on changing their behavior, rather than attempting to change systems of sexism within the workplace. Vanessa Fuhrmans, deputy bureau chief of the careers and workplace section of The Wall Street Journal, joins us to discuss her piece "Sheryl Sandberg’s Legacy of Leaning In" and take calls from listeners about what Lean In means to them.

Recently, we were joined by Mollie West Duffy and Liz Fosslien, authors of a new book, Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. We enjoyed the conversation so much, and had so much more to talk about from the book, that we decided to invite Liz and Mollie back for every show this week to take on one big feeling a day, and take your calls as part of our ongoing series, "Taking Care Of You in 2022" and for Mental Health Awareness month. Today, Mollie will join us. The specific feeling for this day is burnout.
