Episode 39: Carolyn Kylstra, Editor-in-Chief SELF

Published: Jan. 28, 2019, 10:45 a.m.

b'To say that Carolyn Kylstra has had an impressive career path as a journalist would be a total understatement. From stints at Men\\u2019s Health and Cosmopolitan to Women\\u2019s Health and BuzzFeed, now she\\u2019s the editor-in-chief of SELF at Cond\\xe9 Nast. But her rise to the top wasn\\u2019t exactly smooth sailing. In her #hurdlemoment, the new mom shares that she found out she was pregnant around the same time her entire career was about to shift, and how she managed to keep it together despite abundant\\u2014sometimes overwhelming\\u2014amounts of responsibility (plus, morning sickness). In episode 39, we talk about everything from the scary climate of the publishing industry to how she manages to take time for herself. She also tells me an insane story about how she almost died from a tick bite and offers up a ton of insight about what it means to be \\u201chealthy,\\u201d no matter what size you are.\\n\\nSOCIAL\\n@carolynkylstra\\n@selfmagazine\\n@hurdlepodcast\\n@emilyabbate\\n\\nOFFERS\\nAthletic Greens | Head to athleticgreens.com/hurdle to get 20 free travel packs ($99 value) with your first purchase, no code necessary.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hurdle/message'
