Precisely Nowhere

Episode 100: The Assistants Who Survived “The Devil Wears Prada” Era (and Thrived)

It’s episode 100 (!!) and wild to think how much has changed since Precisely Nowhere first launched — and since my assistant days with Rose Balzano.
 
In this special episode, we’re diving into The Devil Wears Prada, assistant life in NYC, and the girlboss era that shaped so many of us. We talk about chasing success, losing ourselves a little along the way, and the power of finding joy (in the present), growing up, and redefining what fulfillment looks like.
