In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with Willa Bennett, Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan and Seventeen! Willa shares the path that led her to become one of the youngest editors-in-chief in the industry, how she chose this career, and the risks she took that ultimately shaped her success. She opens up about the idea of imposter syndrome and gets real about the loneliness that can come with leadership. Willa reflects on what has prepared her most for her role today, how she navigates burnout, and why she’s been in therapy since she was just seven years old. She shares what starting therapy so young taught her, the tools she leans on now to protect her mental health, and the personal and professional goals she’s still chasing. Plus, they talk about the Lautners being on the cover of Cosmo, and Willa walks us through the entire creative process — from envisioning a cover in her head to bringing it to life — including behind-the-scenes details from their shoot day and what made this cover so special!
