Money Talks: What Does “Making It” Really Mean?

For this Money Talks, former Teen Vogue executive editor Samhita
Mukhopadhyay speaks with host Emily Peck about the false promise of
the “girl boss” myth. In her book “The Myth of Making It,” Samhita
recounts her own grueling climb to the top — a road paved with
double standards and toxicity for women — and why she left it all
behind. In her conversation with Emily, she discusses enduring
hurdles facing career-driven and how we can begin to fix work
culture for everyone. If you enjoy this show, please consider
