Wait… What’s Next? is the podcast that feels like running into two friends at your favorite coffee spot, except the conversation goes places most people are too polished to go. We’re talking career pivots you didn’t plan, relationships that changed you, and the version of yourself you’re still figuring out, all with a cafecito in hand and zero judgment.
Hosted by Laura Alba, a Colombian-born marketing professional who built her life from scratch after moving to the U.S. at 15, and Amanda Brilhante, a former national news anchor turned event host, two women who’ve navigated more than a few “wait… what now?” moments of their own.
Every week, they pull up a seat either to talk through their own in-between moments or alongside guests who’ve shaped their paths through real transitions in career, relationships, health, and identity. They dare to have the honest conversations you wish someone had with you sooner, getting real without the filter.
Join us every week. New episodes drop on Thursdays.
Come for the deep talks, the occasional gossip, and the safe space where you’ll feel a sense of belonging and leave with a little more clarity, at the very least, in your heart.
Happy sips ☕
with Laura (@l_alba_z) & Amanda (@amandakbril)

Wait... What's Next?
The Journal of a CMO: Kelly Atkinson (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you thought Part 1 was good… Part 2 is the page you didn’t know you were waiting for.
This week, Kelly Atkinson is back, and she’s answering the question we left dangling: how she advocated for women in the workplace by building systems that actually worked, especially for mothers-to-be. And that’s just the start.
From learning how to delegate like a boss (literally) and letting people show up for you, not just in business but in life, to unpacking her idea of the “Toolbox” we all start building early and add to as we grow… this conversation is packed with gems.
We also dive into the messy, magical part of leadership: trusting your gut when the odds are stacked against you, embracing change even when it’s scary, and why being a CEO doesn’t automatically equal success (spoiler: fulfillment is the real flex).
Part 2 is raw, unfiltered, and ridiculously inspiring, whether you’re a leader, a dreamer, a mom, or just figuring out your next leap.
