On this episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery chats with Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy's resident trend expert. If that job sounds really cool, that's because it is.
Dayna spends her days interpreting data and trend insights and talking about creativity to uplift and promote Etsy's 5.4 million makers. She makes frequent TV appearances and talks to the media about emerging design trends. Yup, she knew about cottagecore way before the rest of us did.
Dayna did not apply for the job she has now—but she created it by zeroing in on what she loved to do and asking Etsy's leadership to create a role that fit her talent and excitement.
Avery and Dayna talked about the unusual way Dayna figured out her dream job, how to tell if a company will be a great place to work from the interview stage, and play a special round of In or Out: Design Trends Edition.

What if you could measure and improve your emotional fitness—just like you track steps or workouts? Emotions play a powerful role in shaping the decisions we make, the connections we form, and the strategies that drive successful marketing.
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the fascinating intersection of cognitive psychology, emotional decision-making, and customer behavior.
Laura Beavin-Yates, PhD, the Chief Marketing Officer of SIX and Immersion, shares how neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin shape our behaviors and why understanding them is so important for building emotional connections in life and business. Laura also unpacks her nonlinear career journey from academia to working with major brands like Google and P&G.
We explore the transformative power of data, emotional decision-making, and why psychological safety is the key to thriving in remote work environments. Laura introduces SIX, an app designed to help users identify moments that boost wellbeing and emotional health, offering a fresh perspective on how we can take ownership of our mental and emotional lives.
This conversation is perfect for anyone curious about how emotions drive consumer behavior, how to create meaningful connections, or how to bring more psychological safety to the workplace.

Money talk can feel awkward, but today’s guest is here to change that.
Claire Wasserman, the founder of Ladies Get Paid, teaches us exactly how women can navigate salary negotiations with confidence—no more sweaty palms or second-guessing.
Avery and Claire first dive into the wage gap and discuss why salary negotiation is a skill every woman needs. From researching compensation (hint: it’s more than just Glassdoor) to documenting your wins and understanding the full scope of benefits, Claire offers actionable strategies to help you advocate for yourself at work like a pro.
She also breaks down the role of HR in salary discussions and offers tips on building workplace allies to support your professional growth. Pro tip: likability does matter in negotiations—but so does timing, preparation, and knowing what not to say.
Plus, Claire gives us her real thoughts on viral career advice—like the idea of “being delusional” in your asks—and advocates for a grounded, research-based approach that leads to real results.
Whether you’re gearing up for a performance review, planning your next big career move, or simply looking to feel more confident at work, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you own your worth.

What if you could hack your happiness? Lauren Berlingeri, the co-founder of HigherDOSE, will teach you how in this episode.
The certified holistic nutritionist and health coach shares her journey behind the wellness brand that’s changing how we think about self-care.
Lauren and Avery get real about the science of “happy chemicals”—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (yep, that’s where the name HigherDOSE comes from!). They break down what these mood-boosters are, why they matter, and how to “microdose” them in your daily life.
Spoiler alert: quick fixes, like that pre-girls’-night-out glass of wine, might feel good in the moment but real, sustainable joy? That takes some mindful magic (don’t worry—Lauren will give you the cheat codes).
From the healing power of infrared technology to transitioning between masculine and feminine energies, Lauren shares her tips for balancing her busy schedule as a CEO and a mom of twins while prioritizing her own wellness. Yes, it’s possible!
