Episode #9 - Nan Philip
“Just sharing on Instagram has connected me with so many people in my life. I feel so grateful for the people that I’ve met, the brands, the opportunities.”
In this episode, Jennifer sits down with creator, writer and tastemaker Nan Philip for a conversation about building a life guided by intention, personal taste and paying attention to what truly resonates.
Known for her thoughtful recommendations, timeless style and beloved newsletter Nan's Notebook, Nan has built a community around sharing the things she genuinely loves. Together, Jennifer and Nan discuss her decision to leave a successful career in public relations to become a full-time creator, the realities of building a business across Instagram, Substack, and podcasting, and what she's learned from creating a life on her own terms.
They also explore the evolution of personal style, how to stay connected to your own perspective in a world driven by trends, and why the best recommendations come from authenticity rather than influence. Along the way, Nan shares her favorite corners of New York City, the routines that ground her, and the small details that make everyday life feel richer.
At its heart, this conversation is a reminder that a fulfilling life isn't built from grand gestures, but from knowing what matters to you and making space for more of it.
