Some friendships are built on shared interests. Others are forged in the fires of major life transitions. For Lynn Juang (@lynnjuang) and Darcy Penick (@darcypenick), it has been both.

In this episode, we celebrate 20 years of friendship between two brilliant, driven, and deeply connected women who have been each other’s anchors through career shifts, personal growth, and the unpredictable twists of life. From meeting at a group dinner in 2005 at Lure Fishbar in New York City to navigating career highs and lows, marriage and divorce, and the challenges of executive leadership, their bond has remained unwavering.

We dive into how their friendship evolved from funemployment in their twenties to leadership in their thirties to their forties, where they are making bold moves toward a future of their own design. Lynn, now a strategic advisor to creatives, is building her solo consultancy while calling downtown NYC home. Darcy, fresh off a successful six-and-a-half-year tenure as President of Bergdorf Goodman, is embracing a new chapter in upstate New York, taking time off and perfecting her baking skills.

This episode also lands at the perfect time, just after International Women’s Day and in the midst of Women’s History Month. It is a celebration of female leadership, chosen family, and the importance of friendships that evolve and sustain us through every stage of life.

Expect laughter, introspection, and a deep conversation about what it means to truly show up for the people who matter most.

🎧 Tune in now and celebrate the friendships that shape us.
