About this listen

What happens when a Millennial boss and her Gen Z marketing manager decide to record their unfiltered conversations? Welcome to I Started a Podcast with My Boss, where we're breaking the fourth wall on workplace dynamics, one episode at a time.


Join us as we dissect the marketing moves making waves in pop culture, debate which brands are absolutely crushing it (and which ones are missing the mark), and navigate the real talk about career growth, generational differences, and what it actually means to work together across the millennial-Gen Z divide.


Hosted by Kayleigh Christina founder of CLEARSTEM Skincare, and Brittany Barnes, Senior Marketing Manager and professional Gen Z translator, this podcast is equal parts business strategy, cultural commentary, and honest conversations about ambition, life in LA, and the messy, motivating reality of building something together.


Whether you're a founder, an employee, or just someone who's ever wondered what your boss really thinks (or what your team is actually saying in the group chat), this is the podcast that says the quiet part out loud.


New episodes drop weekly. Let's get into it.

  • WHY CONTENT NOW EQUALS GOLD + SOME LA TEA
    Dec 18 2025

    Lol guys this is our fav episode so far giving you some good tea.

    From a 24-hour trip to NYC for a gala to dissecting the very different LA worlds of West Hollywood versus Venice, this episode is all about the highs of a social week and why Kayleigh and Britt are obsessed with their little LA bubble.

    Kayleigh recaps her quick NYC adventure while Britt shares why canceling her New York trip and staying in LA turned into the best week ever - reconnecting with high school friends and falling even more in love with Venice. They break down the major cultural differences between the west side and east side of LA - because if you know, you know - and why their Venice wellness bubble now feels like home.

    The episode also dives into wrapping a shoot for a new CLEARSTEM product and campaign, the best processes for creating founder content, and how Kayleigh is fully embracing her Y2K era with a nostalgic look back at the phones we all had. Plus, on the Marketing side, they explore the new jobs that exist purely because of social media and the constant content companies need to stay relevant.

    Then it's time for "Overheard in LA" - juicy observations about how people change when they move to LA and get their first taste of fame, with a story of someone you probably know lolol.

    Topics covered: LA culture, West Hollywood vs Venice, east side vs west side LA, influencer life, wellness bubble, founder content, social media careers, Y2K nostalgia, NYC travel.

  • YOU THINK YOU'VE HEALED UNTIL YOU GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
    Dec 18 2025

    You think you're healed until you go back home for the holidays. In this episode, Kayleigh and Britt get real about the different versions of themselves that emerge under stress - from The Controller to The Retreater - and why understanding your "parts" might be the key to surviving (and thriving through) the holiday season.

    They kick things off with highs and lows: Kayleigh's filming adventures with Amanda McCants and a week where her best self didn't show up, plus Britt's Ohio trip, love for the SLC airport, and an exceptionally low week lol. Then they dive deep into parts work - exploring how pressure at work and at home can trigger old patterns and bring out versions of ourselves we don't always love.

    Through candid stories about pivoting product launches, controlling household dynamics, and spiraling over feedback, they unpack which "you" shows up when fear and overwhelm hit. Plus, three powerful journaling prompts to help you identify your parts and reconnect with your most grounded, authentic self before the holiday chaos begins.

    They wrap with Coffee + Trends, including Britt's Dancing With The Stars thoughts.

    Topics covered: Parts work, holiday stress, self-awareness, work pressure, personal growth, journaling prompts, authentic self

  • MY TEAM CALLED ME INTIMIDATING - The AI Problem We Can All See, The NBA FBI Raid & Why We Are Obsessed With It
    Nov 29 2025

    Kayleigh is in her masculine today and we can tell.

    In this episode, we sat down after an incredible experience at the Beauty Matter Summit to share the raw truth about networking that no one tells you—and why 90% of people are doing it completely wrong.

    We dive deep into management styles and get vulnerable about something that's been on my mind: being called "scary" by my team. But here's what I've realized—there's a difference between being feared and having standards. When someone says you're intimidating, it often means they recognize you won't accept mediocrity. I break down why that's not something to apologize for.

    We also get into the rise of AI and a problem we're noticing that no one's talking about. People are becoming too reliant on it—and here's the thing: we can tell. We can spot AI-generated work immediately, and it's creating a bigger issue than people realize. Your creativity, your voice, your critical thinking—it's all being outsourced, and it's going to catch up with you.

    We also had to share our thoughts on the NBA FBI sports gambling raid and the recent Louvre situation.

    This one gets real.
