In this episode of the FoundHer Series, host Carrie Scollon sits down with author Elaine de Rooy to explore the story behind her heartfelt chapter in Beautiful Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected. Elaine shares her deeply personal journey of love, loss, and resilience after a health crisis and eventual passing of her husband after 5 tough years—leaving her to navigate life with their two teenage sons. A planner by nature, Elaine opens up about how her sense of order was upended and how, paradoxically, planning became her tool for moving forward—through medical decisions, parenting, grief, and even rediscovering joy. From balancing hope with hard conversations to the healing power of community and belly dancing (yes, really!), Elaine's story reminds us that even in the most uncertain times, connection and courage can light the way. You'll get a beautiful peek into the relationship that shaped her, the grief that followed, and the surprising turn of events that led her not only to healing—but to love again. If you've ever faced the unthinkable, or wondered how to support someone who has, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and soulful inspiration.

In this deeply moving episode, Carrie interviews Lesa Mueller, a contributing author in both The Lighthouse Series Volume 1 and Volume 2. Lesa shares her journey of advocating for her mother during her final days—honouring the grace and gratitude her mother embodied in both life and death. Lesa reflects on the profound experience of "walking her mom home", a gift she wishes she had fully appreciated earlier but is deeply grateful for now. She speaks candidly about reaching a place of acceptance rather than anger before her mother passed, the delayed grief that often comes with caregiving, and how being “in the trenches” can make it difficult to process emotions in the moment. Together, Carrie and Lesa explore: ✨ The emotional complexities of caregiving and advocacy for a loved one ✨ How grief can be delayed when we are focused on showing love and care ✨ Why we are wired to do hard things—but also need to be kind to ourselves ✨ The mantra "Inhale love, exhale gratitude", which Lesa first discovered while hiking the Inca Trail and later leaned on as a guiding practice through her mother's passing ✨ How trusting your intuition becomes easier when you approach life from a calm place While we can't fully prepare for life's hardest moments, we can practice the tools that help—breathing, pausing, stepping away—to navigate them with more grace and presence.

What if the signs your body gives you are trying to tell a deeper story? In this episode, Carrie talks with Laura Tolosi—nutritionist, mother, and author—about her journey of self-discovery, healing, breaking free from the cycle of negative self-talk, and finally learn to receive. In her chapter Loving Yourself from the Inside Out in The Lighthouse Series Volume 2: Beautiful Chaos, Laura opens up about the moment she realized that emotional healing is just as vital as physical health. Professionally, she was focused on nutrition—but personally, she found herself waking up emotionally, recognizing the ways her body was signalling deeper truths. With vulnerability and wisdom, she reflects on a seed of insecurity planted during childhood, the struggles of body image, and the impact of fat shaming. Becoming a mother shifted her perspective—driving her to be the role model her daughters could look up to. Laura's story is a reminder that loving yourself from the inside out takes intention, community, and trust in your own body's wisdom.#Podcast #BeautifulChaosUseful ResourcesClick here to find links to follow all our guests.Click here to learn about FoundHer projects & events!

Jeannette openly shares about her relationship with her momma and her recent death.

Motherhood is a wild, deeply meaningful adventure—especially when raising a child with a rare genetic disorder. Meet Miranda Pellet, a thriving solo mom of four children under 10, whose beautiful journey took an unexpected turn when her daughter Amelia was diagnosed with GBS (Guillain-Barré Syndrome) eight years ago. As a contributing author in The Lighthouse Series Volume 2: Beautiful Chaos, Miranda shares her powerful story in a chapter aptly named Beautiful Chaos—a raw and heartfelt account of love, resilience, and the strength required for advocacy and awareness. In this Foundher.today podcast with Carrie Scollon, Miranda reflects on the challenges and triumphs of the journey, the joy of publishing her story, and the hope that Amelia will be able to look back and see not just the hardships, but the difficult and beautiful journey that has shaped them both.

In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie chats with Tisa Sylvester, a contributing author to The Lighthouse Project – Beautiful Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected, Volume 2. Tisa's chapter, Now What, explores the power of embracing challenges—navigating uncomfortable experiences and relationships that ultimately foster personal growth. Tisa's story is one of hardiness and resilience, shaped by her willingness to say “yes” to unforeseen opportunities with curiosity and compassion. Her journey wasn't without struggle—feelings of inadequacy often surfaced, contrasting sharply with her determination to grow. However, with the support of someone who believed in her, and stepping up to possibilities, she learned to reframe doubt as a catalyst for improvement rather than a setback. From dropping out of high school to an advanced critical care nursing. Now What? Carrie and Tisa also discuss the experience of contributing to Beautiful Chaos. Writing her chapter was not just a creative process but a deeply personal and therapeutic one. “All the feels came through in the writing process,” Tisa shares. Working with the editor was especially helpful, providing guidance and perspective that strengthened her storytelling. Tisa hopes to inspire others to take the first step toward new opportunities—even when it feels uncomfortable.

In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie sits down with Erin Gorrie, a contributing author to The Lighthouse Project – Beautiful Chaos, Volume 2. Erin's chapter, A Lifetime of Shame, is a raw and powerful exploration of how shame took hold of her life, shaped her choices, and kept her trapped in a story of shame for decades. For 30 years, Erin carried the weight of her early experiences, constantly seeking external validation. But when everything came crashing down, she had a pivotal realization—90% of her experiences were within her control. This moment of clarity set her free. She began to set boundaries, release people-pleasing tendencies, and reclaim her self-worth. Erin shares the liberating process of writing her story, the deep connection she found within The Lighthouse Project community, and how telling her truth became the final piece of her own freedom. She reminds us that when we stop living in the shadows of shame and start embracing our whole selves—rough edges and all—we step into our true power. This episode is for every woman who has ever felt not enough, who has struggled with persistent or chronic shame, or who is ready to finally say, enough is enough. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about courage, healing, and reclaiming your story.

In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie sits down with Gwen Haas to talk about her powerful chapter in the book Beautiful Chaos. Gwen's story is for the seekers, the ones who feel different, the ones who long to be seen. Through The Little Alchemist MagicK, Gwen shares her journey of navigating a world that didn't always nourish or nurture her gifts. A highly sensitive person, she faced the challenge of growing up without the support to understand or embrace her uniqueness. The moment she truly felt seen was a supercharged experience—one of deep surrender, a push-and-pull of wanting to be held while fearing what it means to be recognized. She opens up about her awakening, learning how to exist in a world that often misunderstands sensitivity and gifts. We also explore a profound story of her father's passing and how it shaped her path. This chapter, this conversation, is a gift—an invitation for those ready to embrace their inner alchemist, to find the magic in their own being, and to feel truly seen. Tune in for a soul-stirring episode that might just spark something divine in you.

In this episode, Carrie welcomes Marianne White, a contributing author to Beautiful Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected and the Lighthouse Series. Marianne first shared her raw and emotional journey through divorce in Volume 1—now, in her second chapter, she shifts the focus to what she wishes she had known about this massive step, hoping to support other women contemplating the same option. With divorce statistics painting a stark reality, Marianne challenges the stigma surrounding it. She isn't pro-divorce, but she is pro-truth—and for some, divorce is the right choice. She opens up about the struggles, from career impacts to financial impacts, while also sharing the empowering realization that divorce isn't an ending—it's a new beginning. Carrie and Marianne discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship, why the phrase “broken home” couldn't be further from her reality, and why prioritizing her own social and emotional well-being ultimately helped her children thrive. If you or someone you know is contemplating divorce, this conversation is a must-listen. You are not alone. Your story isn't over. It's just beginning.

In this deeply heartfelt episode, Carrie sits down with Heather Goodall, one of the authors of Beautiful Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected, to explore the tension between doing good in the world and knowing when it's enough. Heather shares how a simple childhood ritual—asking “What good deed will you do today?” shaped her life, fuelling both purpose (positively) and pressure (negatively). Over time, the desire to make a difference became tangled with guilt, leading her to question: When is it ever enough? When am I enough? The term foreboding joy, borrowed from Brené Brown, fits here as the fear of not doing enough can rob us of gratitude and presence. Heather's journey—spanning moments from her childhood time in El Salvador to the loss of her brother, to everyday acts of appreciation—reminds us that impact isn't measured by size, but by intention. Through a beautiful analogy of the hummingbird, Heather offers a powerful shift in perspective: What if we simply do what we can, with the energy we have, and trust that it matters? Join us for a conversation on joy, guilt, and the freedom that comes from embracing the power of enough.

In this episode of the Foundher Series, Carrie sits down with Emma Lewis, an author in The Lighthouse Project, Volume 2: Beautiful Chaos. Her chapter, Believe in Your Wildest Dreams, is more than just words—it's a testament to resilience, self-belief, and transformation. An "old soul" who grew up fast, Emma carries a lifetime of wisdom shaped by lived experience. From navigating childhood in survival mode to redefining a trauma, she has turned her journey into a gift—guiding others as a life coach to break free from their past and step into their soul expansion. At just 16, Emma found herself at a Tony Robbins event, absorbing the energy of a room filled with possibility. That pivotal moment ignited a fire within her: I can do the brave things. Through strength, courage, and an unshakable belief in herself, she rewrote the narrative of her life—not as a victim, but as a creator. Emma opens up about healing from trauma, the power of taking radical responsibility, and why true transformation isn't just about mindset—it's about how you feel. If you've ever felt stuck in your story, this episode will inspire you to change your circumstances, trust in your intuition, and most importantly, believe in your wildest dreams. #BelieveInYourDreamsUseful ResourcesClick here to find links to follow all our guests.Click here to learn about FoundHer projects & events!

“I definitely don't know if I would have done it if I knew how difficult it was back then. But here we are, living to tell the tale,” says Jash Mehta, co-founder of Pop & Bottle, as she shares how she and her co-founder, Blair Hardy, started the company inspired by California's farm-to-table culture and a commitment to plant-based eating.From humble beginnings with a Vitamix in a small kitchen, they created dairy-free, no refined sugar, and organic beverages. Despite lacking a food and beverage background, their passion for clean living led them to craft products free from additives and preservatives, setting Pop & Bottle apart in the market.Strategic marketing, eye-catching packaging, and partnerships with local tech and food delivery services helped them gain traction. Securing a spot in Whole Foods was a pivotal moment, validating their efforts and allowing them to scale.Jash emphasizes the importance of community support, trusting one's intuition, and being resourceful. She shares their future goals for Pop & Bottle, including expanding their product line and becoming a household name in the organic beverage market.This episode of Dear FoundHer… explores how two friends turned their passion into a successful business, navigating the food and beverage industry with resilience and innovation.Quotes“We wanted to be organic certified. That was really important to us because we believe in our coffee and tea being organic. So we had to go through organic regulation, get certified, and do all of that. But again, what did that teach us? It taught us everything about supply chain and sourcing, and we've carried that knowledge forward as we've built the brand.” (17:30 | Jash Mehta)“We sold ourselves and our story as much as we sold the product.” (27:45 | Jash Mehta) “Don't let this be a lonely journey. Find community. And don't let anybody tell you or define the rules of your company or your business. Finding that inner voice as you balance out all of those outer voices is really, really important.” (43:39 | Jash Mehta)Connect with Jash Mehta:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/popandbottleGrab Lindsay's Partnership Blueprint for Small Business: https://stan.store/lindsaypinchuk/p/get-your-ebook-now-the-partnership-blueprintConnect with Lindsay Pinchuk and Dear FoundHer.http://www.instagram.com/lindsaypinchukhttp://www.instagram.com/dearfoundherGrab Lindsay's JumpStart Your Business Blueprint:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at: https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundherIf you know a FoundHer... we should meet, please tell her to share her story with us here.https://form.jotform.com/230008245758152Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

“We had to shut down tons of parts of the business, and that was work. So, I kind of leaned into the work. I had to lean into the work of what The Riveter needed to do,” says Amy Nelson. Amy's business was founded in 2017 to create an inclusive community space for women. Despite rapid growth and raising $30 million in venture capital, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Amy to shut down coworking spaces and pivot the business model. She openly shares the emotional and financial toll of layoffs in the business, amid very public and complex legal battles that involved Amy's husband and Amazon.Through perseverance, Amy reimagined The Riveter to focus on digital events, newsletters, and mentorship programs to find impact through reinvention. Amy's conversation with Lindsay highlights the impact of community and staying true to one's mission, even in the face of extreme adversity. Quotes“When I was going through hell, I found a community in my own hell. What I mean by that is, just like when The Riveter was scaling, I built a community around other women raising money who were in similar situations. When everything went to hell, I found people who were in the same spot, I made friendships, sought advice, and found someone to talk to.” (25:16 | Amy Nelson) “I decided to do what I was good at, which is help women through pivots, and just share with them every single piece of knowledge I have gathered along the way. Because not only have I lived the pivot, but I have studied everything about how we do this, and how we build an audience, and how we share our story. And I have built an incredible network of incredible women.” (27:32 | Amy Nelson) “I am a collector of people and I am constantly seeking out people to talk to. When I want to understand something, I go to the experts. And I do that in all areas of my life.” (30:20 | Amy Nelson) “Do not be afraid of failing, embrace it. Because if you aren't failing, you're just not thinking big enough. Failure is okay. Go pick up the pieces and keep going. It would be quite a boring life if you never failed at anything.” (36:48 | Amy Nelson) Connect with Amy Nelson:http://www.instagram.com/amy_k_nelsonhttp://www.instagram.com/therivetercoGrab Lindsay's Partnership Blueprint for Small Business: https://stan.store/lindsaypinchuk/p/get-your-ebook-now-the-partnership-blueprintConnect with Lindsay Pinchuk and Dear FoundHer.Grab Lindsay's JumpStart Your Business Blueprint:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at: https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundherIf you know a FoundHer... we should meet, please tell her to share her story with us here.https://form.jotform.com/230008245758152Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

“We didn't care about cleaning products. We didn't set out to sell soap,” says Kelly Love. She, her best friend Allison Evans, and Allison's aunt Marilee Nelson, co-founded Branch Basics with a different mission in mind. “We believed there was a need for truly safe products, and we knew we had built a platform to share this crucial information,” they explain.

Despite major setbacks, their commitment to their mission and community support fueled their success.Allison, Kelly, and Marilee's story is a testament to the impact of living authentically and creating products that truly make a difference in people's lives.Quotes“Our products have always been a vehicle for educating and creating a community, which is why we've sold direct to consumer for several years. We really want to have that community relationship.” (10:01 | Allison Evans)“Human health is our number one goal. We put human health above everything, but efficacy is right behind it.” (32:28 | Allison Evans)“Know your strengths. Know that when your pie is bigger, your piece is smaller, but you'd rather have a smaller piece of a bigger pie. People who hold on too tightly to their equity and pride, refusing to admit when they need help, are making one of the biggest mistakes.” (38:55 | Allison Evans) “Test and learn. Just start doing whatever your idea is. Start on a small scale with a minimum viable product. Don't worry about proving scalability before you even prove the concept. Get as much feedback as you can in those early days and don't hold yourself back, either from perfection or from thinking, ‘How am I going to scale this and reach everyone?'” (45:42 | Kelly Love) Connect with Allison Evans and Kelly Love:https://www.instagram.com/branchbasics/Grab Lindsay's JumpStart Your Business Blueprint from last week's episode:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessGrab Lindsay's Reels Cheat Sheet + Social Media Challenge.

Kathrin Hamm, originally an economist at the World Bank, turned her chronic insomnia into an opportunity by creating Bearaby, a thriving business centered around a unique product: a weighted blanket made entirely from organic materials, without plastic beads.

Connecting with other founders and mentors provided the support and insights needed to navigate the challenges of startup life. This sense of community is something Kathrin believes all entrepreneurs should tap into to drive their businesses forward.Quotes“It was really a lot of Googling, a lot of reaching out to people, building that network early on. As a first time founder and someone who wasn't in that field before, I didn't have a lot of contacts. So for someone to start thinking about the business, think about who you know and who you can reach out to and build that network early.” (14:23 | Kathrin Hamm) “I was in my mid-thirties and people thought I'm crazy to quit a solid job and then start selling blankets on the internet. I think it's never too late to start, especially if you're passionate about something. Give it a year. Don't look back. And if it doesn't work out, you will have a great learning experience.” (37:43 | Kathrin Hamm) Connect with Kathrin Hamm:Instagram: http://wwwinstagram.com/mybearabyGrab Lindsay's e-book, The Partnership Blueprint: https://stan.store/lindsaypinchuk/p/get-your-ebook-now-the-partnership-blueprintGrab Lindsay's guide: 30 Pieces of Content in Two Hours:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/fedimy6g3bIf you like what you're hearing, please leave a rating or review at: https://ratethispodcast.com/dearfoundherGrow your business + bottom line with a simplified strategy and process for your small business with Lindsay's group mentorship, Marketing Made Simple for Small Business.

“It's valuable to not have a perfect plan,” advises Gail Simmons as she shares how she manifested her dreams into reality—from penning restaurant reviews in college to becoming a renowned figure in the culinary world. Working under food critic Jeffrey Steingarten at Vogue and alongside chef Daniel Boulud, Gail gained invaluable lessons that paved the way for her role at Food & Wine Magazine. It was here that Gail's involvement with the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen would eventually lead to her television debut on Bravo's “Top Chef,” bringing her into the spotlight and influencing the culinary industry at large.Beyond television, Gail discusses her venture into entrepreneurship with Bumble Pie Productions, aiming to elevate diverse voices in the culinary space. She reflects on the challenges and rewards of balancing a high-profile career with being a present parent, sharing personal anecdotes about integrating family life with her professional endeavors.This episode shows how passion, when pursued diligently, can lead to fulfilling and successful careers. Gail Simmons reminds us that with the right ingredients, anyone can cook up their dream career.Quotes“I am not an expert in parenting. We're all just trying to do it. And also just in navigating the challenges of life in general. I love that I love my job. That doesn't mean that it's all awesome. It's still called work for a reason, right? I make it sound very glamorous, but I assure you I'm not just going to 12-course tasting menus and jetting to Aspen every day.” (44:00 | Gail Simmons) “The goal of running a business, no matter how big or how small, is to do less for the most cost. It's not to do 100 things for $5, to do five things for $100.” (49:03 | Gail Simmons) “I think it's valuable to not have a perfect plan. I don't believe in the five-year plan because inevitably the world will trip it up. You don't know where the world will be in five years. How can you possibly know where you will be? I always say, have the foresight to walk ahead confidently. But make sure to keep looking to the left and the right because that's where the opportunities are."

Who would have thought that a simple idea generated over happy hour could transform into a multimillion-dollar wine business? This is exactly what happened with ONEHOPE Wine—a business where every bottle sold supports a cause. At the heart of this story is Kristen Shroyer, whose journey uncorks the power of mentorship, determination, and a mission to give back and make a difference.Her journey began with a simple observation she and her co-founders made while selling wine in grocery stores: the wine aisle lacked charitable initiatives. This insight led to the start of ONEHOPE Wine, a venture that initially operated out of their cars, which they later learned was illegal. However, a turning point came when they formed a partnership with the esteemed Mondavi family, which lent credibility to their brand and helped improve the quality of their product. Today, ONEHOPE Wine boasts annual sales of 1.5 million bottles and has contributed over $10 million to nonprofits. Distinguished by its mission-driven ethos, the brand is committed to giving back, donating 10% of its profits to various charitable causes. Through their "cause entrepreneur" program, ONEHOPE Wine empowers individuals to join their mission and fundraise for causes they care about through wine sales. Kristen emphasizes the importance of authentic, transparent, and mission-driven business practices. Her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is clear: surround yourself with supportive people, embrace confidence, and never underestimate the value of finding the right mentors.Quotes"We wanted a wine brand that gave back 365 days of the year, no caps on what we donate. And, then to be able to support multiple different causes too." (10:02 | Kristen Shroyer)"My advice to someone who simply wants to find a mission that aligns with their business is to make it very authentic to your personal story and what you're trying to accomplish as a business. And be very transparent."
