Then in March 2020, Braunraved about Cohen and spoke about his work-life balanceon Ashley Graham’s podcastPretty Big Deal.
“I found that people who have a foundation of family — whether it be with the family they make with their friends, the family they start, or the family they already had — they’re able to sustain a lot better because that’s what really matters,” Braun said, later adding, “I don’t think I actually figured it out until I met my wife Yael.”
“There was my insecurities; I was having a lot of success and I was looking for what validated me. And then when I met her, I realized, between her and the kids, I don’t need that validation anywhere anymore,” he continued. “I can just do good work and I can try and be kind to people. Other people’s issues are not my issue. I can only control my own actions. But she kind of gave me that comfort that I’m enough.”
