The Lifestyle Edit Podcast show

Summary: Impressive is quite the understatement to describe Michelle Adams’ CV. She cut her teeth at Domino magazine, fresh out of college, only to return a few years resurrecting the interior’s magazine after its hiatus in the role of editor in chief – making her the youngest EIC in Condé Nast history. Michelle has always been entrepreneurial. Even during her first stint at Domino, she founded her own soft goods and upholstery company, Rubie Green, after she noticed that the eco-friendly textile market was undertapped while researching for Domino’s annual “green issue. She’s perhaps, most well-known for co-founding Lonny magazine before later selling to Livingly Media. After Domino she decided to leave her life in New York and move closer to home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “It was a big decision for sure, but honestly, I haven’t looked back and I couldn’t be happier to have made that kind of life change. I was burnt out and had spent so many years focusing on my career that I had lost touch with the things that matter to me, like my family, friends, and my own health. Now that I’m all settled in my home and my new consulting career is firmly in place, I can’t imagine ever moving back to New York.” In today’s episode Michelle talks about what it was like at the helm of some of the most influential interiors titles in the world and why she had no regrets walking away from it all and starting again with the launch of her online store, The Maryn. We explore how she’s carved a definition of success on her own terms and break down what living her best life means now. www.themaryn.com Instagram: @themarynshop Join the Community · For more content, head to www.thelifestyleedit.comand click here to join thousands of female creatives in our newsletter community: http://bit.ly/2rVZVzo Work with Naomi: · Sign up for a complimentary discovery call: http://bit.ly/2wttos2 · Ready to raise your rates and double your income?
