This week on the show we hear from the energetic Nicole Tossou who lives by the mantra:  If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.

A child of immigrant parents and proud native of Washington D.C, Nicole’s career began in the NBC Page Program in New York, working on iconic programs such as THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JIMMY FALLON, TODAY, and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

She worked at A+E Networks & A+E Studios for five years before heading west and landing at Springhill Entertainment, where she was deeply involved with the development of scripted and unscripted content including Netflix's SELF MADE: INSPIRED BY THE LIFE OF MADAM C.J. WALKER starring Octavia Spencer.

Loved this show, btw. If you have not seen it, highly recommend checking it out.

Nicole is currently the Head of Television at Project X Entertainment and is an EP on Netflix’s, “The Night Agent.” The show premiered in April and was in the top 10 list of the streamer’s most popular shows ever.

I adored our our chat and as you’ll hear, I was in a funky moment the day we recorded. She really lifted my spirits and as much as I do the show for you and our community, oftentimes these conversations become free therapy for me.

Here are the key takeaways:

• Learning to set boundaries
• Stepping away to enjoy things outside of the industry to reinvigorate your spark
• How to feel whole and define yourself outside of your job
