We need to talk about The Devil Wears Prada — not as a fashion fairytale, but as a cautionary tale for corporate women everywhere.
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the moment Andy Sachs stopped chasing journalism and started chasing approval. This isn’t just about bad boyfriends or flaky friends — it’s about what happens when you lose yourself to a job that demands you become someone else to survive.
Here’s what we get into:
-Why the “glow-up” wasn’t self-driven — it was performance for proximity to power
-The real villain: a workplace culture that rewards burnout and punishes boundaries
-How we confuse ambition with identity — and forget to ask what we actually want
-What this movie teaches us about the early signs of overwork, over-functioning, and disappearing into your job
