The audio could be better. The video could be way better. But the conversation is honest, human, and totally worth it. In this first episode, I sit down with Romina Massa, a writer, digital strategist, and creative powerhouse. She opens up about navigating a layoff as a mother, a neurodivergent woman, and what it’s been like to rebuild from the ground up. It's raw. It's real. It's two people showing up in the middle of the mess.
