279: Engagement Ring Trends, The “4 C’s”, and All Things Diamonds with Fine Jewelry Founder Stephanie Gottlieb
In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Gottlieb to talk about her journey into the jewelry world, how she worked her way up from the Diamond District in Manhattan to setting out on her own, and how her business took off unexpectedly and grew into the luxury fine jewelry brand it is today. Stephanie shares how she has witnessed women find value in themselves through their investments in jewelry, how someone can explore what they want in a ring before an engagement occurs, and what the “4 C’s” mean for picking out a diamond. She also talks about how people can save some money on rings, how you can redesign an existing engagement ring, and what the staple jewelry pieces might be throughout someone’s life. Finally, she unpacks making the iconic “87” necklace for Taylor Swift, how that moment has had an impact on her business, and she shares her thoughts on Selena Gomez’s and Zendaya’s engagement rings.Key Takeaway / Points:How Stephanie got started in the jewelry worldStephanie’s experience in the Diamond District in ManhattanHow her business took off How someone can explore what they want ring-wise pre-engagementThe 4 C’s for picking out a diamondOn the timeless engagement ring styles that will never go out of fashionWhere people can potentially save some money on ringsVarious ways you can redesign an engagement ringOn staple jewelry pieces throughout someone’s lifeOn entering celebrity jewelry territory On the impact of the Taylor Swift #87 necklaceStephanie’s take on Selena Gomez’s and Zendaya’s ringsThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

277: Raising Children in the Age of Social Media with “Anxious Generation” Researcher Zach Rausch
In this episode, I sit down with Zach Rausch, lead researcher on the bestselling book “The Anxious Generation,” to discuss the impact social media is having on children, how we’re seeing social media affect mental health today, and what parents can do to create intentional relationships with social media and technology in households. Zach talks about the “great rewiring of childhood” that has occurred within the last decade, current trends in adolescent mental health, and why these trends aren’t just an American issue. He also explains the perfect storm of social media usage during “periods of particular vulnerability,” how boys and girls are targeted differently on social media, and why the introduction of the forward-facing camera was so significant for our culture. Finally, we talk about why millennial parents are the last generation that can create change for our kids, how social media can be positive, what phone-free schools can look like, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:On the “great rewiring of childhood”Phone-based childhoods vs. community-based childhoodsOn the trends we’re seeing in adolescent mental healthOn the international parallels we’re seeing in depressive episode trendsOn the perfect storm of social media during “periods of particular vulnerability”Breaking down the data of daily social media usage vs. in-person socializingWhy millennial parents are the last generation that can create change for our kidsHow boys and girls are targeted differently on social media platformsHow technology and social media influence each otherOn the significance of the forward-facing cameraWhat can we do individually as parents?On the future of phone-free schoolsOn the positives of social mediaOn the notion of fear-mongering around the dangers of social mediaHow Zach fills his cup and his recent technology ShabbatThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
