Ep. 47: Alyssa Mastromonaco - the Obamas, the Importance of Lists, and Staying Calm Under Pressure.

We are so excited about today's guest: Alyssa Mastromonaco. Alyssa is the co-host of the Crooked Media podcast Hysteria, a New York Times Best Selling Author, AND was the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations for the Obama administration! We ask her a million questions, from how to stay calm in a high pressure job, to how to talk productive conversations with people whose political views differ from yours, to three things she would take to a desert island. This episode is one of our all time favorites!

Also in this episode, Grace is obsessed with @averagefashionblogger, and Becca is battling with overly-optimistic "Past Becca."

You can find Alyssa on Twitter at @alyssamastro44, and on Instagram at @Mastro175
