You don't have to know everything to deserve your seat

About this episode

We are consuming more than ever and feeling less equipped than ever. More advice, more opinions, more noise. And somewhere in all of that, the signal gets lost. This week's guest has spent most of her career asking herself exactly what she lets in, and why it matters more than most people realise. Joanna Christie is the CMO of Moonfare and one of the most compelling leaders I have ever had the privilege of working under. She has built an extraordinary career across some of the UK's most recognisable brands, and has never once applied for a job. What makes Joanna remarkable isn't her title or her track record. It's the fact that she got here while openly battling people pleasing and imposter syndrome, asking stupid questions on purpose, and admitting what she didn't know in rooms full of people who expected her to have all the answers. In this conversation, Joanna and Daisy talk about what it really means to back yourself in your career, the difference between people pleasing and genuine kindness, and why curating what you let into your brain is one of the most powerful performance decisions you can make. Joanna opens up about losing her mother suddenly and the unexpected way grief handed her the most important lesson of her life. She shares her philosophy on work life balance, why she thinks suffer porn is a red flag not a badge of honor, and her simple formula for taking back control when overwhelm creeps in — clear the day, make the list, check it off. She also recommends Tuesdays with Morrie, a book about a man running out of life but not out of love, passing down wisdom every week to someone who needed it. Sound familiar. This one is for anyone who has ever felt lost in their career but still carries huge ambition. Joanna has something to say.
