Alison Wu is the stylist, recipe developer and lifestyle blogger behind Wu Haus. Since starting her blog in 2016 as an outlet to share her passions, she has received international recognition for her vibrant dishes and warm aesthetic.

She frequently partners with creatives and companies whose values align with her own and has collaborated with brands like Williams Sonoma, HAY Design, Anthropologie, Mountain Rose Herbs and Sustain. In the episode, she shares the moment she got the idea for a green ombre smoothie and how her gorgeous layered creations made her an instant IG star, how she turned her blog and IG following into her full-time gig—something that wasn’t as linear as it might’ve looked, her current thoughts on social media, why she thinks it’s so important to create healthy boundaries, and how she does that for herself, the truth about the unpredictability of entrepreneurship and her honest experience with earning an often-unpredictable income, why she says it’s sooo important to find trust within yourself as an entrepreneur; the the secret to building resiliency and more, why she’s always allowed her intuition to lead her vs. having a strategy for everything and how that’s worked well for her, and so much more!
