The Life Beneath the Life You Built29 oct. 202600:38:33

Melissa's career has never followed a straight line. She's moved through journalism, radio and television, Hollywood, entrepreneurship, luxury fashion and jewelry, writing, and interviewing extraordinary women. Today, her work with Future Intelligence explores an entirely different kind of development: what happens when we give our inner lives the same attention and training we've spent years giving our careers.

Anna and Melissa unpack something many high-achieving women rarely talk about: you can be incredibly high-functioning and still be overwhelmed. They explore the difference between resilience and simply becoming very good at overriding yourself, why emotional regulation matters, and what happens when you finally achieve the thing you were convinced would make you feel complete.

The conversation also moves into identity and reinvention. Melissa shares how a life spent moving between cultures, industries, and versions of herself shaped her adaptability and raises a bigger question: How do we know when we're genuinely evolving versus changing ourselves to survive the environment we're in?

They talk about intuition versus fear, science and spirituality, purpose and self-transcendence, relationships, technology, and what becomes uniquely valuable about being human as AI grows increasingly capable. They also explore whether greater emotional awareness changes who we're attracted to, what we're willing to tolerate, and how we show up in love.

And, of course, they eventually make their way into the closet. Melissa and Anna talk about the pressure women feel to look successful, fashion as both armor and self-expression, how personal style changes as identity evolves, and the shoes that carry the stories of who we've been.

Key Moments
  • Why an impressive life can still leave us feeling like there's more life available
  • The difference between resilience and becoming disconnected from yourself
  • How highly successful women can function while emotionally dysregulated
  • Why getting what you wanted doesn't always create the feeling you expected
  • Learning to distinguish intuition from fear
  • What becomes more valuable about being human as AI becomes more powerful
  • How emotional growth can change our relationships, attraction, and boundaries
  • Fashion as armor, identity, and eventually genuine self-expression
Maybe the next chapter of ambition isn't always about becoming more.

Maybe it's learning how to be fully present inside the life you've already created to feel it, inhabit it, and know yourself well enough to recognize what is true before the rest of the world tells you what you should want.

Because intelligence isn't only about knowing more.

Sometimes, the intelligence we need most is knowing ourselves.

Beyond Selling Sunset22 oct. 202600:36:25

In this episode, Anna and Maya go well beyond Selling Sunset. They talk about what years of walking through other people’s homes have taught Maya about money, relationships, identity, and human behavior and why selling a home can be much more emotional than people expect.

Maya shares what sellers stop noticing about their own homes, what wealthy buyers actually care about, where homeowners can waste money, what can genuinely add value, and what women should understand about real estate as they build financial independence. They also get into the psychology of negotiation and why staying calm can be one of the most powerful tools in a high-stakes deal.

And then there’s reinvention. Anna and Maya talk about what it means to start again when people already think they know who you are, the difference between fame and credibility, and turning visibility into leverage for a real business rather than making fame the career itself.

Of course, this is still I Want Her Shoes. The conversation eventually turns to luxury, personal style, how Miami has influenced Maya’s wardrobe, the relationship between the way we dress ourselves and dress our homes, and the shoes in Maya’s closet that tell a story of their own.

Key Moments
  • Why a beautiful house isn’t necessarily what makes somewhere feel like home
  • What real estate has taught Maya about people, relationships, and major life transitions
  • The things sellers obsess over that buyers simply don’t care about
  • What women should understand about real estate and financial independence
  • What wealthy buyers actually look for in a home
  • Maya’s approach to negotiation and knowing when to walk away
  • Turning Selling Sunset visibility into a real business rather than simply chasing fame
  • Starting over, building a new identity in Miami, and deciding what success looks like now

At its heart, this conversation isn’t really about houses. It’s about what we choose to build, what we’re willing to leave behind, and how our definition of home changes as we do.

Because sometimes starting over means changing the address. Sometimes it means changing the plan. And sometimes the most beautiful thing you can build is a life that finally feels like yours.

The Grief We Don't Always Call Grief15 oct. 202600:29:03

In this deeply personal episode of I Want Her Shoes, Sammy returns to the closet for an honest conversation with Anna about the grief we experience and the losses we don't always give ourselves permission to grieve.

Anna opens up about losing her grandmother, losing her beloved pets Bonnie and Ozzie only months apart, and grieving the end of her marriage while navigating divorce.

Together, Anna and Sammy explore the particularly complicated experience of grieving something that you can simultaneously know was right to lose. You can mourn a marriage without wanting the marriage back. You can miss pieces of a former life while still choosing the life ahead of you. And sometimes what you're grieving isn't only a person or relationship it's the future you once imagined.

They also talk about the strange everyday reality of loss: how life keeps moving even when you're grieving. Kids still need breakfast. Meetings still happen. Emails still arrive. You can laugh, work, go to dinner, experience something wonderful—and still be carrying sadness alongside it.

The conversation moves through losing animals and why pet grief can be so profound, motherhood and the pressure to keep functioning, the discomfort people sometimes have around another person's pain, and what actually helps when someone we love is grieving.

And ultimately, they arrive at a bigger question: Does grief ever really disappear or does life simply become bigger around it?

Key Moments
  • The many losses we experience that we don't always recognize as grief
  • Grieving someone or something that is still technically there
  • Mourning a marriage while knowing that ending it was the right decision
  • Anna on losing her grandmother and the things we still wish we could say
  • Losing Bonnie and Ozzie and why the death of a pet can leave such an enormous absence
  • How motherhood and responsibility coexist with grief
  • Why grief and growth can happen at the same time
  • What actually helps when someone you love is grieving
Perhaps healing isn't reaching a point where the loss no longer hurts.

Maybe it's learning how to carry what mattered without allowing the loss to become the only thing we carry. There can be grief and gratitude. Grief and relief. Grief and joy.

And even grief and the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. Moving forward doesn't necessarily mean leaving everything behind. Sometimes it means deciding what deserves to come with us.

What Comes Next: Building the I Want Her Shoes Community08 oct. 202600:20:18

Somewhere between the podcast conversations, dinners, brunches, WhatsApp messages, new friendships, introductions, and women showing up for one another, something unexpected happened. The audience started becoming a community.

In this special solo episode, Anna steps out from behind the interview questions to share what she’s been quietly building: I Want Her Shoes Club, a new digital and IRL home for ambitious, accomplished, curious women who want meaningful connection alongside all the beautiful things that make life fun.

Anna takes listeners inside the early version of the platform and shares the thinking behind it from member connections and curated events to trusted experts, recommendations, fashion, style, and eventually a much smarter relationship with our own closets. But the vision isn't to create another social network designed to keep women scrolling.

It's almost the opposite. Anna has spent years working in AI and building technology communities, and now she's applying that experience to something intentionally human: using technology to help the right women find one another and then get off their phones and into the same room.

Miami is only the beginning. The bigger vision includes city communities, intimate dinners and experiences, trusted recommendations, experts, fashion and wardrobe tools, and a network that can travel with its members wherever life takes them.

And because the Club is still being built, Anna isn't simply inviting women to join it.

She's inviting them to help shape what it becomes.

👠 Key Moments
  • How I Want Her Shoes evolved from a podcast into a real community
  • Why the shoes were never really about fashion they've always been about the journey
  • What Anna learned from bringing women together for intimate dinners and brunches
  • Why connection not networking is the product
  • The vision behind I Want Her Shoes Club
  • Why AI should facilitate human connection rather than replace it
  • What's coming around events, experts, style, recommendations, and our closets
  • Why Anna wants the earliest members to help build the community alongside her

Anna doesn't want to build another place where women perform how successful, polished, or fabulous their lives are.

She wants to build a place where women can actually know each other.

Where you can talk about the promotion and the divorce. The company you're building and the terrible date you went on. The investment you're considering and the shoes you're considering.

A place to share what we've learned, celebrate one another's wins, open doors for each other and occasionally tell another woman, “Girl, absolutely do not buy those.” 

Because the shoes were never really about fashion. They've always been about the journey. And this is what's coming next. 

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District. This unique setting not only provides a visually captivating backdrop but also embodies the spirit of fashion and innovation that the area is known for.

Getting You Ready for Power01 oct. 202600:27:33

Anna and Alexis unpack why financial independence has to be part of the conversation about women’s empowerment, how self-limiting beliefs can quietly become career ceilings, and why confidence is often something we develop after taking the leap—not before it. They also talk about learning to ask for more, advocating for yourself in rooms where decisions are being made, and the difference between mentorship and having someone who will actually say your name when you’re not in the room.

The conversation also explores Alexis’s experience building Business of Her, the importance of women creating opportunities for other women, and why collaboration can be far more powerful than competition. And, of course, they get personal about ambition, evolving identity, personal style, and what it feels like to dress—and live—as the woman you’re still becoming.

Because power isn’t something we suddenly earn when we reach a certain title, salary, or age. It’s something we can start building now.

👠 Key Moments

  • Why Alexis believes women need to redefine their relationship with power
  • The lessons about money, negotiation, and self-advocacy women should learn much earlier
  • How to build confidence before you actually feel ready
  • Why financial agency is an essential part of women’s empowerment
  • Recognizing self-limiting beliefs before they become career ceilings
  • The difference between mentorship, sponsorship, and having someone advocate for you
  • Why collaboration between women can create more opportunity than competition
  • How style and identity evolve as we step into bigger versions of ourselves

What if women didn’t wait until their 30s, 40s, or 50s to learn how to negotiate, advocate for themselves, build wealth, and take up space?

🎧 Listen to the full episode of I Want Her Shoes Podcast for a conversation about money, confidence, ambition, community, and learning to stop waiting for permission.

Because sometimes the most important step toward becoming powerful is realizing you were allowed to begin before you felt ready.

Who Gets Funded? Rewriting the Rules of Venture Capital17 sept. 202600:34:27

Laura has spent her career looking at entrepreneurship from almost every angle. Before launching Ascendo, she founded Endeavor Miami, the first U.S. affiliate of the global entrepreneurship organization, where the portfolio grew to 23 companies generating more than $250 million in revenue. Earlier in her career, Laura held leadership positions at Visa and developed deep experience across fintech, payments, M&A, and private equity. Today, she brings all of those perspectives together as an investor.

In this conversation, Anna and Laura explore what makes an exceptional founder, why overlooked markets can create extraordinary investment opportunities, where venture capital may be looking in the wrong places, and how AI is changing the investment landscape.

They also talk about Laura’s own evolution from corporate executive to ecosystem builder to venture capitalist and what years of working across countries, industries, and boardrooms have taught her about leadership, reinvention, and success.

Because sometimes the greatest opportunities aren't where everyone is already looking. They're where very few people have thought to look yet.

👠 Key Moments

  • What connects the many chapters of Laura’s career as an executive, founder, operator, investor, and board member
  • What Laura saw in Miami’s entrepreneurial ecosystem before the city became a major startup and technology hub
  • The qualities she looks for when deciding whether a founder is truly exceptional
  • What investors can learn about a founder that will never appear in a pitch deck
  • Why Laura sees inclusive innovation as an investment advantage, not simply a social objective
  • How overlooked founders, consumers, and markets can create asymmetric investment opportunities
  • Why investment capital still hasn't caught up with the enormous economic influence of women
  • How Laura evaluates AI companies in a market where almost every startup has an AI story
  • Where she believes AI opportunities may still be underestimated
  • What venture capital may be overfunding—and overlooking
  • Why Laura’s experience as an operator changes the way she works with founders
  • What working at Visa taught her about building companies that can truly scale
  • Lessons about leadership from working across the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, global corporations, startups, and venture capital
  • How to recognize when it's time to leave a successful chapter and reinvent yourself

This episode is ultimately about seeing possibility before it becomes obvious.

Great founders don't all look the same. Great ideas don't come from one demographic, one geography, or one network. And some of the most compelling investment opportunities may exist precisely because everyone else is looking somewhere else.

Laura’s own career is also a reminder that reinvention doesn't mean leaving your experience behind. Every chapter can become part of the toolkit you bring into the next one.

🎧 Listen now for a conversation about venture capital, AI, entrepreneurship, Miami, women and wealth, leadership, reinvention—and what it really takes to recognize an opportunity before the rest of the world does.

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District. This unique setting not only provides a visually captivating backdrop but also embodies the spirit of fashion and innovation that the area is known for.

Beautiful Things Are Never Built Alone10 sept. 202600:27:17

Over nearly two decades, Joanna has helped build and scale some of the most recognizable brands across technology, health, wellness, travel, and consumer products. She’s served as CMO of Spring Health, Skyscanner, ClassPass, and Reforge, worked across nine startups, led teams of more than 280 people, and helped scale global businesses reaching more than 110 million people each month.

But after years of helping other founders build extraordinary companies, Joanna is entering a new chapter: building something of her own.

In this conversation, Anna and Joanna explore what separates great marketing from a brand that becomes part of culture, what decades of operating have taught Joanna about leadership, how AI is reshaping marketing, and why curiosity may be one of the most important qualities we can carry into the next chapter of our lives.

They also dive into Joanna’s newest venture, NEON PALM, and what it feels like to move from advising founders to becoming one herself.

Because the most interesting careers rarely follow a straight line. And as Joanna says, beautiful things are never built alone.

👠 Key Moments

  • What nine startups taught Joanna about building, scaling, and starting over
  • Why Joanna considers herself an operator first—and a marketer second
  • The difference between great marketing and building a brand that becomes part of culture
  • How to keep brands human while operating at massive scale
  • Why creating cultural conversations matters more than simply creating content
  • What companies are still getting wrong about growth marketing
  • How AI will transform marketing—and where human creativity will become even more valuable
  • Why more AI-generated content doesn’t necessarily mean more meaningful content
  • The story behind Joanna’s new venture, NEON PALM
  • What becoming a founder has taught her after years of advising other founders

This episode is a conversation about building, reinvention, and staying curious—even after you’ve already achieved extraordinary things.

Because success doesn’t mean arriving at one final destination. Sometimes the most exciting thing you can do is decide to build again.

🎧 Listen now for a conversation about brands, AI, leadership, style, entrepreneurship, and why the best things we create are rarely created alone.

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District.

Fashion Crimes: Galliano, Chanel & Is Everything “Chic” Now?03 sept. 202600:23:51

One of the summer’s biggest stories was the announcement and subsequent cancellation of John Galliano: Horizons, the major Spring 2027 Costume Institute exhibition that would have celebrated Galliano’s extraordinary and complicated career.

Naturally, Anna and Ella have opinions. Was canceling the exhibition the right decision? Can we separate the art from the artist? And what would a Galliano-inspired Met Gala have looked like if it had actually happened?

But Galliano is far from the only designer on trial. Ella arrives with a confession of her own: she finally caved and bought her first pair of Matthieu Blazy Chanel shoes. So, is Blazy making Chanel exciting again and could we be witnessing the beginning of a new era for the house?

And while we’re asking important questions... why is everything suddenly “chic”?

Chic restaurants. Chic sneakers. Chic vacations. Chic interiors. Chic water bottles.

Has social media officially ruined the word?

After years of quiet luxury and understated minimalism, fashion also seems to be having fun again. Anna and Ella debate the bedazzling of everything, the return of maximalism and statement dressing, archival fashion, luxury prices, what they’re actually buying for fall and whether we’re finally witnessing the return of something fashion has been missing: Personality.

👠 Key Moments

  • Has the word “chic” officially lost all meaning?
  • The bedazzling of everything—and whether maximalism is officially back
  • Is quiet luxury finally losing its grip?
  • The canceled John Galliano: Horizons Met exhibition and the complicated question of separating art from artist
  • What a Galliano-inspired Met Gala would have looked like
  • Ella’s confession: buying her first Matthieu Blazy Chanel shoes
  • Is Blazy ushering in a new golden era at Chanel?
  • Archival fashion, creative-director shakeups, and what feels exciting in fashion right now
  • Are today’s luxury prices actually worth it?
  • What Anna and Ella are buying for fall and what everyone should stop buying

This episode is ultimately about something bigger than trends. After years of understated dressing, neutral palettes, and the idea that looking expensive meant barely looking styled at all, fashion seems ready to have fun again.

Maybe we don’t need another uniform. Maybe we need more personality, more experimentation, more fabulous shoes and fewer rules about what qualifies as chic.

🎧 Listen now for Anna and Ella’s summer fashion debrief and find out what officially made the Fashion Crimes list.

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District.

Performance, Pressure & The Power of Discipline02 juil. 202600:24:32

After spending a decade training elite collegiate athletes, Gabriella saw a gap no one was talking about. While athletes had structured plans for strength, speed, and recovery… their daily hygiene and skincare routines were completely overlooked — despite being directly impacted by intense training, sweat, and environment.

GamePlan was built to change that — not just as a product, but as a habit. A simple, preventative routine designed to become as standard as a pre-game warmup.

In this conversation, Anna and Gabriella dive into what it really means to build something from lived experience, how discipline translates beyond sport, and why the smallest details can have the biggest impact on performance and confidence.

👠 Key Moments 

  • The overlooked gap in athlete care — and how GamePlan was born
  • What “performance hygiene” really means and why it matters
  • Why high performers often neglect basic self-care habits
  • Building a brand from real experience, not trends
  • The power of habit — and why consistency beats complexity
  • Community-first growth and the role of trust in building a brand
  • Scaling with intention in a massive, underserved market
  • Discipline vs talent — what actually drives long-term success
  • Navigating male-dominated spaces as a female founder
  • How routine, confidence, and personal presence are all connected

This episode is a reminder that success isn’t just built in big moments — it’s built in the routines no one sees.

Because how you show up daily… is how you perform.

🎧 Listen now and rethink the small habits that create your biggest results.

Breasts, Beauty & Body Sovereignty: A Conversation About Plastic Surgery & Self-Love26 févr. 202600:33:17

Known for her individualized, natural-looking results and deep empathy for her patients, Dr. Rotemberg brings decades of experience — and a philosophy rooted in balance, beauty, and personal choice.

This episode is special. Not only because Dr. Rotemberg is one of the most trusted hands in her field — but because Anna recently had her own breast explant and lift procedure done by her. What unfolds in this intimate conversation is a rare look at the emotional layers of plastic surgery — the identity shifts, the shame, the liberation — and the power of doing what’s right for you.

From the rise of explants to the reasons women choose augmentation in the first place, this isn’t a debate. It’s an open, judgment-free exploration of body sovereignty, self-love, and evolving beauty standards in a world that’s constantly trying to tell women who they should be.

Whether you’re implant curious, explant curious, or just craving a real conversation about how we show up in our bodies — this one’s for you.

👠 Key Moments:

  • Why women get breast implants — and why many are choosing to remove them
  • Anna’s personal story: her augmentation at 20, and her explant + lift at 42
  • What to expect — physically and emotionally — after an explant or lift
  • How shame, stigma, and beauty narratives shape women’s choices
  • The 5 most important things to know before getting cosmetic surgery
  • What makes plastic surgery in Florida different than in other states
  • How Dr. Rotemberg finds personal style and expression — even in scrubs
  • The emotional power of helping women feel at home in their bodies again

Listen if you’re navigating body changes and wondering if surgery is right for you, if you’ve ever felt pressure to “bounce back” or “keep up,” or if you’re craving an honest, nuanced conversation about beauty, aging, and choice. This episode is also for you if you’ve had implants (or are considering them) and want real insight from both a patient and a surgeon — or if you’re simply exploring what self-love means at any age, on your own terms.

Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District. This unique setting not only provides a visually captivating backdrop but also embodies the spirit of fashion and innovation that the area is known for.

Redefining Connection, Currency & Confidence25 déc. 202500:33:47

After a decade in New York as a fashion buyer for Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Barneys New York, Emily traded Perry Street for Brickell and found herself in a new city, a new career, and a remote lifestyle that felt anything but connected. So instead of waiting to “find her people,” she built an ecosystem for women who wanted more — more depth, more alignment, more opportunity, and more real friendship.

Today, Emily is building at the intersection of community, education, and Bitcoin — from curated events and a private members’ club to on-grid and off-grid mining projects and her women + wealth podcast, STACKED. Her work is all about helping women own their power: in their networks, in their money, and in the future they’re building.

  • The journey from fashion buying in NYC to founding a women’s movement in Miami
  • Why she believes community is a form of currency — and how to build it intentionally
  • How she’s helping women understand Bitcoin, mining, and the future of money (without the jargon or gatekeeping)

  • What she’s learned about belonging, identity, and starting over in a new city
  • Her vision for what’s next — on-chain, off-grid, and always centered around ambitious women

🎧 Tune in now for a conversation that’s equal parts strategy and soul — and discover how Emily is rewriting the rules of friendship, wealth, and female leadership, one Brickell Babe at a time.
