In today’s episode, we have the incredible Hitha Palepu! Seriously, is there anything that Hitha can’t do? You’ve heard us obsess over her Five Smart Reads newsletter, but Hitha is also the CEO and co-founder of Rho Pharmaceuticals, the creator of the blog “Hitha on the Go,” the author of How to Pack: Travel Smart for Any Trip, and a full time mom (Our first mom to be featured on the pod!) to her son Rho, with another on the way! We’re tired just thinking about how she does it all. Hitha shares incredible advice, from her packing essentials and her travel skincare routine, to key productivity practices and investment tips for beginners. We feel smarter after recording this episode.   Also in this episode, Grace is obsessed with her pink faux fur slippers (from Amazon!), Becca is slowlyyy recovering from her Idea of You book hangover, and Hitha is loving @notenoughhangers.   Find our friend on the internet at @hithapalepu and hithaonthego.com/5smartreads to sign up for her newsletter!
