  • Recruiters, Catfishing, and Headshots

    Recruiters, Catfishing, and Headshots
    Oct 21 2026
    No guest. No filter. Just Diana and Mel in full form.

    In this episode, the two admins riff on everything from headshots and business cards to recruiting horror stories, catfishing text messages, and the wildly inconsistent world of interviewing as an executive assistant. Mel admits she spent a whole pandemic serial interviewing out of pure boredom. Diana has not interviewed for a job since Campbell Soup. And both of them have thoughts about recruiters who ghost you after promising to follow up on Monday.

    They also tease an upcoming AI episode with a guest who is going to blow your mind, and remind every admin listening that they are not alone in any of it. This one is unscripted, unfiltered, and exactly what you need on a Wednesday.

  • Every Step Was Training: From Oprah's Chief of Staff to Life Coach

    Every Step Was Training: From Oprah's Chief of Staff to Life Coach
    Oct 7 2026
    Libby Moore moved to New York City with one dream: to write for Saturday Night Live. What happened instead changed everything.

    After years as a personal assistant to Maury Povich and an executive assistant at Rolling Stone, Libby set one intention on a subway ride that she could not have predicted would lead her straight to Oprah Winfrey. She went on to serve as Oprah's chief of staff and executive assistant for eleven years, and what she learned in that role became the foundation for her fourteen-year career as a life and executive coach.

    In this episode Diana and Mel sit down with Libby for one of the most honest, inspiring, and deeply human conversations this podcast has ever had. Libby talks about why so many admins play smaller than they actually are, why authenticity is where your power truly lives, the prayer she said in a hotel lobby before meeting Oprah, and the simple mirror exercise that changed her life and will change yours too.

    This one is not just for admins. This one is for anyone who has ever gotten in their own way.

  • Beyond the Bubble: Mentors, Networks, and Bringing Leaders Into the Conversation

    Beyond the Bubble: Mentors, Networks, and Bringing Leaders Into the Conversation
    Sep 23 2026
    In this episode of Two Admins and a Mic, Diana and Mel welcome Diana Brandl, a former executive assistant turned coach, trainer, consultant, author, and host of the Executive Office Insights podcast, joining from Verona, Italy. Diana shares how a childhood love of "playing office," a year as an au pair in Virginia, and a three-year assistant academy in Germany led to a twenty-year career supporting executives, and how mentors, community, and a supportive husband (now her CFO and COO) gave her the courage to leave her full-time role and build her own business.

    The conversation dives into mentoring and networking, with Diana explaining why she always looked for a challenger rather than a cheerleader, and sharing her personal networking rules: go to conferences alone, leave your comfort zone, and step outside the admin "bubble." She makes the case that admins spend too much time talking to each other on LinkedIn and not enough time bringing leaders and stakeholders into the conversation. Diana also weighs in on the chief of staff path, the new certification and mini MBA programs she is building in Germany, and why she salutes every assistant who simply wants to stay an assistant and do an incredible job.

    Diana closes with practical tools for proving value, including the Global Skills Matrix, Elizabeth Sutowska's ROI calculator, a client's AI chatbot built by an internal assistant network, and the idea of a Friday "win report" for your executive. Her one piece of advice she would no longer give? Keep everything in harmony. Today she says: don't be a people pleaser, bring your standpoint, and remember you're worth it.
