Why Are So Many People Secretly Curly: Part 2: Office Edition
There’s an unwritten dress code across corporate America.
Happy Friday,
New minisode alert. This one adds a layer to what we explored in Episode 2: Why Are So Many People Secretly Curly? If you haven’t heard that episode yet, start there.
I received so many messages from listeners about that one that I wanted to talk about a specific element here: why so many people are secretly curly at work.
We have a really exciting slate of upcoming guests for the show. Each person hits on some or many of the themes we’ve been discussing on the show, and I can’t wait to share their stories with you.
Last week, I sent a survey to members of the MAYURA waitlist. I’m looking to expand our pool of sample testers for formula #2, which will drop as soon as it’s ready after formula #1, the hair oil elixir, launches this fall.
If you want to become a sample tester, get on the waitlist so you can sign up next time we open the pool back up. I am not automatically adding Substack subscribers to our waitlist because I believe opt-in emails should actually be opt-in. I don’t like when people spam me, and I promise not to spam you.
Lastly, we’ve got some new subscribers here. Thank you for joining us and I hope to make it worth your while.
Here is our most popular story:
