Author Ann Shoket on Millennials, Messiness, Side Hustles, Badass Babes & Truly Living ‘The Big Life’

Since she was 14 years old, growing up in Littleton, Colorado, Ann Shoket always knew that she would be a woman of the world, one with great power. Though she’s not sure exactly where that confidence came from at such a young age, the author and celebrated former magazine editor says she was always confident in the power of women. Years later, Ann would install that same girl power into teen girls around the world as editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine for nearly a decade. And now, as author of the new book, The Big Life, she is supporting millennial women in tapping into their own power as they navigate careers, relationships and life in this ever-changing world.

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Ann talks about the importance of the side hustle as a secret to success, how to embrace your messiness, what we can all learn from millennials and what it means to truly be a badass babe and live a big life.
