#202 The Price Tag of 'Being Good': Author and Former GOOP COO Elise Loehnen on How Women Navigate Societal Expectations + Embracing Your True Identity, Transforming Shame into a Path of Self-Discovery & Redefining Power and Identity

Today's guest is author, editor, and former GOOP COO Elise Loehnen. Elise shares how a simple conversation around sin led her to her latest book, "On Our Best Behavior." Prepare to explore the profound influence of the "7 Deadly Sins" (with a twist) on our daily beliefs, reactions, and behaviors—covering anger, laziness, pride, lust, envy, greed, and gluttony.

We also delve into the intriguing backstory of why there are 8 sins instead of 7. Elise shares the fascinating origin, where an Egyptian Monk crafted the original list known as the "eight thoughts." Curiously, sadness was later omitted from the lineup.

But our conversation doesn't stop there. Elise opens up about her experiences working behind the scenes, whether it be ghostwriting books for others or being instrumental in building a brand. She sheds light on her decision to step out from the shadows and share her own voice and perspective through her latest work. Together, we explore the meaning of contributing to a company's growth and the personal journey of choosing a different path.

Join us for this insightful discussion as we uncover the secrets behind human behavior and personal growth. Whether you're seeking knowledge, inspiration, or simply trying to figure it all out, this episode has something for everyone.

A Mother of two sons, a wife, and just like all of us trying to figure it out. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
