"On the outside, it looked like ambition. On the inside, it was toxic." Christina Langdon spent 25 years leading iconic brands like Martha Stewart Living and Fast Company, generating over a billion dollars in revenue. But behind the extraordinary success was a "hyper-vigilant" drive that ultimately led to three major health crises.

Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Christina Langdon, author of For Success' Sake, joins The High Achieving Female Podcast to discuss the "art of the pivot."
