In this episode of Elevate, Mihae Ahn sits down with Regine Nelson to talk about something we all wrestle with: how to manage our time, our energy, and the roles we play at work and at home.

Regine shares her journey into internal communications and how she’s now helping to build an inclusive, connected culture at Couchbase in a remote-first world. Along the way, she opens up about her pursuit of financial independence and how mindfulness helps her stay grounded through it all.
