Her Moment

What if your regular Tuesday felt like the vacation you keep waiting for? In this episode of Her Conversations, I sit down with my friend and accountability partner Kristin Assaad: business lawyer, founder of LegalUp, host of LevelUp Podcast and, as she now proudly owns, content creator. Almost five years ago, Kristin packed up a life in Denmark that looked perfect on paper and moved to Dubai, and she hasn't craved a vacation since.

In this episode:
Outgrowing the box: why a good life on paper can still feel too small, and what made Kristin choose Dubai
That inner voice that gets louder the more you ignore it, and how to hold gratitude and ambition at the same time
How fast you can find your people when you move abroad
Kristin's ordinary Tuesday: eight hours of sleep, slow mornings, iced coffee, midday pool breaks with an audiobook, and work that doesn't feel like work
Redefining success: unlearning the version we were sold in our twenties and building one that actually fits the life we want now
How she grew her Instagram from around 3,000 to more than 60,000 followers this year with a clear strategy, trial reels and content pillars, and by treating it like a real job instead of a hobby

If you like this conversation, please feel free to share it with a friend who needs to hear some of these things!

Welcome to the first episode of Her Business, the new segment on Her Moment about entrepreneurship, careers and ambition, told through real stories. As millennial women, many of us were taught in business school and our first jobs that working ourselves to exhaustion was a badge of honor. The more hours, the more stress, the more valuable you were. Then many of us became moms and realized that model was never built for us. Recorded on a quiet Friday night at my summer house, this episode is about unlearning the hustle we were taught and rewriting what success at work should look like for women.

In this episode:
Why we feel we have to earn our rest, especially at home
Growing up between two worlds: the analog childhood and the always-on career
What business school and big corporate culture taught us to applaud
The honest truth about going back to work after maternity leave
Why women can't be measured by a model built for men, and why that isn't a weakness
Why flexibility for women is a smart investment for companies, not a favor
The weekly check-in and monthly self-date I think every woman needs

I stopped waiting and started planning.
In this episode, I'm sharing how I decided to become a solo mom by choice: what finally made me stop waiting and what the road to pregnancy actually looked like, from choosing a sperm donor to fertility treatment in the Danish healthcare system. If you're thinking about this path, curious about it or just love a woman who writes her own story, this episode is for you!
