First In Line with Brit Morin

Afton Vechery, CEO and Co-Founder of Modern Fertility, is trying to empower women by giving them easy access to the information they need to make decisions about their own reproductive health. She chats with Brit and Anj about the cultural stigma surrounding fertility and what women really need to know. Listen in as Brit reveals her own fertility results during the episode.

Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist, journalist, and author of the New York Times bestselling book ‘Maybe You Should Talk to Someone’. This week, she sits down with Brit and Anj to school them on all things therapy. What are the biggest misconceptions? Who is therapy right for? What should you expect from your first session? And what are the long-term benefits of therapy?

Bestselling author and financial expert, Nicole Lapin is back! This week, Nicole joins Brit and Anj for a comprehensive lesson on how to make money. Nicole teaches the investing basics (from IRA’s to bonds to real estate), how to think about starting a side hustle or business, and the smartest ways to save your money.

Some people have a skill for spotting trends. Others have a talent for setting trends. When you combine both of those superpowers, anything is possible. Tim Ferriss and Gwyneth Paltrow have rare success with both, but you might be surprised if you think you know how they pick winners. Their abilities to shape the future come from an unlikely place of discomfort that most people ignore. In the first-ever episode of First In Line, you’ll learn how to spot a trend before it hits — and be able to identify the signs when a current fad is likely to fade.
