She spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's most successful tech companies, reaching the C-suite along the way. Then she moved back to her hometown and nobody knew her name. That tension is the heart of this episode of Dear FoundHer, and it sets up one of the clearest examples of starting a business after corporate you will hear this year.Host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Christine de Wendel, co-founder and U.S. CEO of Sunday, the digital checkout platform used in over 3,500 restaurants across the U.S., U.K., and France. Christine spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's biggest e-commerce companies before leaving corporate at 40 to build a company of her own. Her story shows what transitioning from employee to founder really looks like once the safety net disappears.Christine describes the three humbling months she spent building connections in Atlanta before the idea for Sunday took shape, and how a phone call from an old friend turned into a co-founding partnership. She also opens up about startup funding and whether having a male co-founder changed how easily she raised capital.Lindsay and Christine talk candidly about networking for women, credibility, and why making a career pivot later in life can be an advantage instead of a setback. If you have ever wondered whether starting a business after corporate means starting from zero, Christine's story offers a clear answer: the experience, relationships, and skills you have already built still count. Press play to hear how she used them to help raise $145 million for Sunday.Episode Breakdown:00:00 From Tech Executive to Unknown in Atlanta02:56 Christine's Path From Bain to Paris Tech05:47 Why She Waited Until 40 to Start08:25 Uprooting the Family and Moving to Atlanta11:43 The Phone Call That Became Sunday14:47 How the Sunday App Works16:33 A Review Turns Into Real Restaurant Change19:08 How Sunday Makes Money20:57 The 2021 Raise and What Came After22:45 Doubling Transaction Volume24:25 Why Restaurants Are Slow to Adopt26:15 Building Brand Ambassadors and Referral Networks29:47 Funding, Her Co-Founder, and Gender in Fundraising32:55 Motherhood, Pacing, and Doing It All36:46 Three Tips for Women Starting OutConnect with Christine de Wendel:Follow Sunday App on InstagramConnect with Christine on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Liz Lange proves that the best marketing rarely needs a big budget, just the right people.On Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Liz Lange, founder of Liz Lange Maternity, about what it takes to build a business when the money and the confidence are not there yet. Partnership marketing sits at the center of it all, but not in the polished, strategic sense people mean today. For Liz, it looked like trust. It looked like showing up for people and letting the relationship do the work.Liz talks openly about starting as a bootstrap founder with almost nothing to lose and everything to prove. She is candid about the fear behind every major decision, and how often the loudest advice turned out to be wrong. Her instincts, not her budget, were what carried the business forward.The real thread running through this episode is trust. Trust in yourself, trust in slow relationships over quick wins, and trust that partnership marketing can outperform any ad spend when it comes from something real. For Liz, this wasn't a tactic. Networking with women came naturally to her.This is one of those real founder stories that reminds you that good PR for small businesses often starts with a single relationship, not a plan. It's proof that female founders do not need permission to trust what they already know.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Welcome to Dear FoundHer and the Growing Founder Community02:47 Meet Liz Lange, Maternity Fashion Pioneer03:47 Starting Liz Lange Maternity With a Fax Machine and No Budget09:13 Dressing Celebrities and Building Word of Mouth Marketing15:36 Learning the Fashion Business From the Ground Up19:07 Opening the First Liz Lange Maternity Store in New York23:27 Landing the Nike Partnership Marketing Deal27:05 How the Target Deal Changed the Business Forever33:29 Ignoring the Naysayers and Trusting Her Instincts39:03 Bootstrapping the Business Without Raising Outside Money41:37 Balancing Motherhood With a Fast Growing Business44:06 Life After Liz Lange Maternity and Home Shopping Network45:15 Buying the Figue Brand and Building a New Chapter46:17 Finding Community and Connection on Social Media49:13 Three Actionable Steps for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Liz Lange:Follow Liz on InstagramJoin the Dear FoundHer...

Most people think wealth grows by adding more hustle, more assets, and more ambition. Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey, known to many as Nell 3D, built her career on the opposite bet. A subtraction mindset for building wealth is the idea behind her Substack, Subtract to Succeed, and in this conversation with Syama Bunten, she explains why the approach works. Nell's money story began with a single childhood memory that held two worlds at once. One moment, she was having lunch at her great-grandfather's Fifth Avenue apartment. Later that same day, she was driving north to a Vermont campfire and tofu hot dogs with her mother's off-grid best friend. The split stayed with her through a decade of frontline humanitarian work in places like the West Bank, an executive MBA, and a marriage where she and her husband kept his wealth and her own distinct. The two chose access over ownership at almost every turn. She calls the trap catching so many people chrematistics, money chased for its own sake, and names the pursuit a kind of disease worth subtracting from a life. What emerges from that critique is her own redefinition of wealth and success, where legacy is measured in intellectual and social capital rather than a number in an account. A subtraction mindset for building wealth means asking what to release before asking what to add. The same clarity is what Wealth Catalyst is built on.

What happens to your identity the day you can no longer do the thing you built it on?   Dr. Andrew Fix reflects on a recent 5K to explore a question most people avoid. Are you measuring your worth against a version of yourself that no longer exists? He breaks down why running a race and comparing the result to an old personal record ignores everything that has changed along the way, from injuries and surgeries to the demands of raising a family. A little perspective changes the whole picture.   The conversation moves beyond running into something bigger. Why do so many people introduce themselves through a job title or a sport they used to play? Dr. Fix shares an analogy he loves, building your identity on a single role or activity is like standing on a football. It feels solid until the moment it isn't.   He also calls out a pattern he sees constantly in his practice. People say they used to play softball or throw the ball with their kids, but their shoulder or knee stops them now. Is that really the injury talking, or is it easier to hide behind an old identity than to do the work required to reclaim it?   This episode is a challenge to stop living through who you were and start paying attention to who you're becoming. What would change if you answered "What do you do?" with something other than your job?   Quotes "Are you still living in the past, holding on to the things that you used to do and the person that you used to be? Or are you focused on who you are today and the person that you're becoming?" (00:34 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "We should lead with who we are and what we're becoming now. And we should also not try to have our identity wrapped up necessarily in the things that we do." (04:07 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "If you try to build your life foundation on top of a football, like on a football, that is a very wobbly foundation to try and stand on." (04:27 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "If your identity is wrapped up in I am this thing that I do, I am a football player, then that's going to be a very difficult thing when that is stripped away from you, however that happens." (05:32 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "That's also one of these same things where you're holding on to an identity of something that you're not, in a way, potentially because you're afraid of the truth."

Andrea Liebross was the least-paid person in her own business for years. Then she got deliberate about changing that. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Andrea gets into how to pay yourself as a business owner and why so many women wait too long to start. She grew up watching her father run his own CPA firm, where money was a subject reserved for adults. He talked business with clients one way and money with his own kids another, and that gap taught her early that finances could stay private inside a family that talked about everything else. Andrea didn't launch her coaching business until her forties. She left a 1099 role bound by rules she didn't like and bet on herself, funding the leap with a zero-interest credit card and a self-imposed deadline for her first client. That story of starting a business in your 40s runs alongside her belief that identity precedes strategy. Clarity comes from deciding who you are first, not from gathering more information. It took Andrea three years to get deliberate about paying herself a real salary instead of whatever was left over. She walks through how to pay yourself as a business owner in practical terms, why betting on yourself in business rarely feels secure, the Colin Powell 40/70 decision rule, and what she has learned about family owned business finances getting tangled with feelings.   Find a Freedom Tour Salon near you at wealthcatalyst.com/salons/ or join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit in San Francisco this October at wealthcatalyst.com    Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Andrea Liebross Joins Getting Rich Together 02:53 A Childhood CPA Household and Quarter Collectors 11:37 Dartmouth, Career Purpose, and Money Silence 19:24 Trauma and Grit in New York Advertising 24:20 Tutoring the Bass Family and Marriage Finances 35:28 Moving to Indiana and Asking for Benefits 40:59 Quitting the 1099 Role to Bet on Herself 46:57 Funding a Business Launch on a Credit Card 51:15 How to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner 55:05 Family-Owned Business Finances and Identity Precedes Strategy   Find more from Syama Bunten: Attend a Salon near you: wealthcatalyst.com/salons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syama.co/ Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: https://syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

Ben Braverman dropped from 240 pounds and a couple of prescriptions to a sub-3:40 marathon, and he says the real transformation happened somewhere between his ears.   Ben joins Dr. Andrew Fix to talk about what actually changes when someone moves from the far end of the wellness spectrum toward something closer to optimization. His story starts with running for beginners in its truest form: a guy on a treadmill who couldn't run a mile, slowly building toward a marathon a few years later. The physical numbers are real: weight loss, a faster marathon, and blood pressure readings that finally started moving in the right direction. But Ben keeps circling back to something harder to quantify. He calls it mental clarity, the sense that decisions got easier, stress got more manageable, and his work and relationships improved almost as a side effect of taking care of his body.   What does it actually feel like to operate without a constant mental fog? And how much of that fog do most people simply accept as normal because they've never known anything else?   The two also dig into why personal growth rarely moves in a straight line. Ben's second year of running was slower than his first, and a coach's advice to celebrate small wins kept him moving forward when the personal records stopped coming. Andrew frames health less as a finish line and more as seasons of pushing and pulling back, a pattern borrowed from how elite athletes train and recover. Underneath all of it sits one quiet but stubborn idea: consistency, not intensity, is what actually moves people from the left side of the spectrum to the right. The conversation touches on nutrition, sleep, and the discomfort that seems to accompany any real change, landing on a simple idea: the gap between feeling okay and feeling genuinely well might be smaller than most people think.   Quotes "For someone that's never really felt fit, you're always a little tired because you're eating poorly. You're always a little fatigued." (16:07 | Ben Braverman) "You don't need to be running forty, fifty, sixty miles a week, lifting four to five times a week, cold plunging five times a week, hot yoga three times a week…If you get out there and you run for 30 minutes four times a week, and getting some resistance training two times a week, you probably will see changes if you're on that left side of the spectrum." (23:41 | Ben Braverman) "If you don't have a coach, you should. I would give it a shot. If you're trying to get faster or just trying to accomplish something, it's helpful to have that expert." (50:42 | Ben Braverman) “I feel like I process stress better. And I think that's a byproduct of mental clarity. Being able to process the down days." (43:41 | Ben Braverman) "If you know somebody that's struggling with fitness, like I was on the left side of the spectrum, send them this pod, because you can transform even much later in life."

Women and wealth building look different when you stop climbing the ladder and start buying the building. For Heather, it started with a paper route in small-town Nova Scotia, a mom who modeled resilience, and a belief that working hard was the only way out. Syama Bunten sits down with Heather Kernahan, CEO of the Content Bureau and author of Unstuckable, for a Getting Rich Together conversation about building wealth as a woman in the corporate world and beyond. Heather shares the unfiltered story of student loan debt, stock options she did not fully understand, and the mindset shift that changed how she showed up at work. She gets into negotiating salary and equity as a woman, what the path from corporate career to CEO genuinely cost her, and how she eventually became a limited partner in a venture capital fund focused on female and minority founders. Venture capital investing for women, female entrepreneurship, and business acquisition are not topics most personal finance conversations touch, and Heather makes each one feel within reach. She also opens up about the personal decisions that made her ambitions possible, and what it meant to personally finance her first acquisition. Financial independence for women does not follow one path, and this conversation proves it. If this conversation moved you, keep going. Join Syama and the community at the Wealth Catalyst Summit, a full-day event in San Francisco this October. Find your city and claim your seat at wealthcatalyst.com. This is a story about financial independence, women and wealth building, and the courage it takes to bet on yourself.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Women and Wealth Building With Heather Kernahan 02:11 Growing Up Without Financial Safety Nets 09:53 The Exchange Program That Changed Everything 18:19 How a PR Certificate Launched Her Career 22:06 Student Loan Debt and the Wake-Up Call That Forced Her to Get Serious 28:03 The Performance Review That Rewired Her Professionally 36:01 Pursuing an MBA While Working Full-Time With Two Kids 43:30 Stock Options, RSUs, and Learning to Negotiate Equity in Tech 49:54 What to Do With a Big Financial Win 51:58 Becoming a Limited Partner in a Venture Capital Fund 55:14 Acquiring Her First Business and Betting on Herself 1:00:07 Legacy, Longevity, and What She Is Building Next Find more from Syama Bunten: Attend a Salon near you: wealthcatalyst.com/salons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syama.co/ Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: https://syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

The real test of motivation begins in the morning when life gives you another reason to quit.   Motivation, drive, and aging all meet in one honest question. What keeps you moving when your body feels different, the news is hard, or the next step feels heavier than usual? In this episode of The Code, Dr. Andrew Fix reflects on a conversation with a client who felt discouraged after receiving difficult medical updates, and that conversation led to a larger discussion about resilience and the deeper reasons we keep showing up for our health.   Andrew talks about the difference between outside pressure and internal drive. A coach, a goal, or a desired outcome can help for a while, but lasting motivation usually comes from something more personal. Maybe you want to stay active with your kids or grandkids. Maybe you want to travel with your spouse. Maybe you want to age with strength, independence, and energy. What reason feels strong enough to bring you back on the days you would rather stop?   This episode reframes exercise as part of protecting quality of life. Strength, mobility, reaction time, muscle mass, and resilience all shape how fully we get to live as we age. Healthspan matters as much as lifespan, and progress can be small without being meaningless. The goal is to keep taking the next step toward the life you still want to participate in.   Quotes “What is there as your guiding light, your true north on your compass? What keeps you motivated to wake up the next day and keep going?” (02:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If you can find what we call an internal motivator, something that is within you, something that you are interested in, something that you want, as opposed to something external…That's what's going to help you get there.” (03:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “I ask you to come back to deeper meaning, what is the why? What is the purpose that you're doing this for?” (07:20 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We're not trying to reach the top of the staircase in one step. We're just trying to reach the next step. And the next step in the next step.” (10:59 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Whatever you have to do today that is challenging you, I hope you think deep about what motivates you to keep going and use that encouragement to help you push through.” (11:18 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links Mito Red Light (5% off)   SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20   Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Most women entrepreneurs build a business to solve a problem they found in the market. Sadie Lincoln built one to solve a problem she had been hiding for a decade.Sadie is the co-founder of Barre3, a mindful fitness company with more than 200 studios and an online platform reaching clients in over 100 countries. On Dear FoundHer with host Lindsay Pinchuk, she finally says out loud what took years to admit. A secret eating disorder, a body she was trying to conquer, and a pregnancy that cracked something open she had not been able to reach before.What she discovered in her living room in 2008 became the foundation of everything Barre3 stands for. And every major business decision since then, including walking away from a deal that would have made her a household name in fitness, has traced back to that same truth.Female founders who are scaling a business while trying to stay honest about what it costs will recognize themselves here. Sadie built a community for business the old-fashioned way, face painters at a fountain, free classes above a health food store, relationships that no algorithm can manufacture. She course-corrected when outside pressure pulled her away from her values and called it growing without burnout before that phrase even existed. And the personal brand decision she made, choosing to stay small enough to stay true, is one most founders never have the nerve to make.Know yourself first. Do the research. Surround yourself only with people who are excellent at what they do and who respect why you are excellent too.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Sadie Lincoln, Co-Founder and CEO of barre304:00 How Barre3 Was Built Around Mindful Fitness and Why That Was a Radical Idea in 200806:19 The Invisible Truth Behind the Business and What Sadie Finally Said Out Loud09:27 Why the Hardest Moments in Business Are Often the Seed of What Comes Next13:56 From Living Room Workouts to a Fitness Company Built to Franchise17:01 The Grassroots Marketing Strategy That Still Outperforms Social Media21:47 Why Community Is the Actual Product at Barre3 and How That Drives Sustainable Growth25:25 What Kept Barre3 Standing While Other Boutique Fitness Brands Fell Apart28:00 The Deal Sadie Walked Away From and the Financial Hit She Took to Stay True31:53 The Kitchen Moment That Changed Everything37:27 What's Next for barre340:21 Three Pieces of Advice for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Sadie Lincoln:Follow Sadie on Instagram Connect with Sadie on LinkedIn Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Women and money is a conversation most people only have in private, if at all. Alicia Umpierre is a patent attorney with a Ph.D. in chemistry. She built her career with no family blueprint and no financial network to draw from. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten draws out the story behind the credentials. What emerges is the women and money conversation you know but rarely hear spoken out loud. Alicia grew up in Southern California not thinking about finances. No one around her had a Ph.D. She didn't even know what one was until college. Without mentors, she says she might still be testing wastewater in a lab in Ontario, California. People told her what was possible before she knew to ask. Her patent attorney career path didn't come from a plan. She followed what felt right. She left behind what didn't. A career change to law came from recognizing a dead end, not a vision. She passed the patent bar in two months, went back to school for her J.D. while raising a toddler, then had her second son during law school, and built a career most people don't even know exists. What Alicia is still working on is teaching kids about money the way she wishes she'd been taught. Her own financial goals now center on a question many women know well: how do you build wealth as a woman when you know what you have, but don't have a trusted network to help you decide what to do next? She watched her immigrant father work without rest his whole life. She doesn't want to do the same. Syama built Wealth Catalyst because women and money deserved a better conversation. If you're ready to be in the room where that conversation happens in person, the Freedom Tour salons are gathering women across 32 cities this year, and the Wealth Catalyst Summit comes to San Francisco this October.

Red and near-infrared light may be the most underestimated recovery tool in your environment, and the science behind what it actually does inside your cells is far more compelling than the wellness industry gives it credit for.   Scott Chaverri didn't set out to build one of the leading red light therapy companies in the country. He was a burnt-out caregiver looking for anything that would help him sleep and function after two years of watching his son fight cancer. He found red light therapy in 2017 and noticed real changes. When the price of adding more panels shocked him, he decided to build his own. Mito Red Light did a million dollars in sales its first year.   The science behind photobiomodulation is worth understanding. Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate several centimeters into the body and act directly on the mitochondria, accelerating ATP production and triggering downstream effects that include better circulation, reduced inflammation, and a meaningful boost in cellular melatonin. A study on elite female basketball players found serum melatonin levels rose 67% after a single 30-minute session, which lines up with the number one piece of feedback Mito receives from customers: better sleep. Scott's broader argument reframes the whole conversation too. Modern humans spend roughly 93% of their time indoors, and much of what red light therapy accomplishes is correcting a light deficiency most people don't know they have. For the biohacking crowd chasing marginal gains, that reframe matters.   Dr. Fix brings a clinician's perspective throughout, connecting photobiomodulation to the laser and dry needling work at PhysioRoom and asking the questions practitioners actually want answered: dosing, distance, timing, device selection, and when a panel outperforms a mask. The episode also gets into the single biggest reason people return their devices without ever giving them a real shot, and it has nothing to do with the technology.   Quotes “Modern humans have very indoor lifestyles and they're sunlight deficient." (08:44 | Scott Chaverri) "If the cells have more energy at their disposal, they can do their jobs better. And so theoretically, any cell that has mitochondria, which is every cell in the human body except red blood cells, has the potential to benefit from exposure to these wavelengths of light due to that increased ATP production." (11:36 | Scott Chaverri) "We're spending 93% of our time indoors. And so when they correct the deficiency, they notice that they're feeling better, they sleep better, whatever the case is." (09:01 | Scott Chaverri) "We just giving it a little bit more energy so it can do its job. It knows what to do. Just have to give it what it needs." (21:50 | Scott Chaverri) "The sun rises. We're meant to get copious amounts of red and infrared light at dawn. It's the reason why the sky is red at sunrise and sunset, because that's the only wavelengths that are reaching us. And so that is like the signal to wake up."

Bronson Arrivillaga is only 10 years old, but he already knows what it means to take up space.   He has performed in the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny, landed a role on The Pitt, and competed on stages where confidence is not optional. Yet what stands out most about Bronson is not the size of the opportunity. It is the way he talks about dance as a form of storytelling, self-expression, and connection.   In this episode of Dance Dad, host John Corella sits down with Bronson and his mom, Katlyn, for a conversation about what it means to be a boy in dance, especially a boy who refuses to shrink himself to make other people comfortable.   Bronson also talks about the harder parts. Dance moms bullying, negative online comments targeting his videos, and being questioned just for showing up as himself. His response every time is to walk back to his people and keep going.   From wearing Tiger Friday with zero apology to competing in multiple group dances and solos this season, Bronson is clear about one thing. Anything you do should make you feel happy and powerful. Katlyn's steadiness as a parent runs through the whole conversation and makes it clear why Bronson moves through the world the way he does.   His dreams are already becoming his life. He is playing characters on network TV, performing on the biggest stages in the world, and he is just getting started.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Bronson Arrivillaga: Boy Dancer Inspiration Behind the Super Bowl Halftime Show 03:15 Finding Happiness and Purpose Through Dance 07:09 Why the Family Moved From Indiana to LA to Chase His Dreams 09:55 What It Was Really Like Performing the Super Bowl With Bad Bunny 12:57 Behind the Scenes Secrets From the Bad Bunny Halftime Show 16:57 What Bronson Loves Most About Dance and Competing 23:31 The Story He Most Wants to Tell Through Dance 27:26 How Bronson Shows Adults What It Means to Be Yourself 28:38 Dealing With Dance Moms Bullying and Online Hate 34:15 Feeling Safe at Dance Conventions as a Boy Who Dances 39:30 Why Bronson Loves Acting Just as Much as Dance 40:37 Playing Patient Ben Baker on The Pitt 48:28 Competing to Prince and Wednesday This Season 50:45 Favorite Choreographers, Dancers, and Dance Movies 55:40 The Boldest Things Bronson and Katlyn Have Ever Done Connect with Bronson Arrivillaga: Follow Bronson on Instagram    Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

His approach to physical therapy and wellness tips is refreshingly simple and built for real people with real lives.The truth is, most chronic pain, including neck tension, tight hips, the back that never quite feels right, comes down to how little we move throughout the day.

It just asks you to start somewhere.Whether you've been brushing off restless leg syndrome, pushing through arthritis, or ignoring an injury that won't quit, Dr. Dan gives you a smarter take on pain management and what your body needs. Good pain management is less about finding the perfect exercise and more about showing up consistently.

Odessa Jenkins built a professional women's tackle football league before anyone believed the market existed.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Odessa Jenkins, known as OJ, founder and CEO of the Women's National Football Conference. Her story carries a lesson female founders everywhere need to hear. You don't wait for permission to build something new. You describe your vision so clearly the right people see it before a single game is played. That's how OJ won over ten teams and two major sports brands while the league was still an idea on paper.This is the kind of conversation women in business rarely get to hear. OJ worked a full-time job while selling the league. She convinced her wife to leave a corporate career and build alongside her. Bootstrapping kept the lights on for five years and profit didn't arrive until year three. None of those details show up on a TV broadcast, yet every one of them shaped what the WNFC has become. Sixteen teams, 900 athletes, and a championship game airing live on ESPN2.Female founders will recognize themselves in OJ's honesty about startup funding, partnership marketing with brands like Adidas, and the unglamorous work behind a bold mission. Her message cuts through the noise. Ready isn't real. Ask for what you need. Stop choosing the hardest path when an easier one exists.If you're drawn to real founder stories with heart and grit, this episode will stay with you long after you press pause.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Female Founders Who Build Before the Blueprint Exists03:05 How Odessa Jenkins Started the WNFC08:26 Getting Adidas and Riddell to Back a League That Didn't Exist Yet11:13 Bootstrapping, Profit, and the Real Timeline14:43 How the Public Responded in Year One22:41 Fan Growth, Streaming Numbers, and National TV24:53 Flag Football, the Athlete Pipeline, and What's Coming27:55 Why the Timing Is Right for Women's Sports Right Now31:17 Championship Weekend at Ford Center34:28 Three Things Every Woman Starting a Business Needs to HearConnect with Odessa Jenkins:Follow OJ on InstagramFollow Women's National Football Conference on InstagramSubmit your most pressing business questions for our Q+A Substack on Thursday: https://form.jotform.com/260218655668062 Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Impact investing for women does not have to mean choosing between profit and purpose. Lucy Rogers built a global network connecting more than 3,000 family offices, investors, and founders by asking one simple question in every room she entered about what that person actually needed. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Lucy to explore how that instinct became the foundation for a new model of values-based investing that is quietly outperforming expectations. Lucy's path was anything but conventional. She was expelled from two schools, dropped out of college at 17 to travel solo through Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, and left university a second time to chase work experience instead of a degree. She bought her first flat at 24 through sheer discipline and eventually built a career spanning creative direction, entertainment, and capital. None of it followed a straight line, and that turned out to be exactly the point. The conversation gets into what family office investing looks like from the inside, how Lucy positions impact investments to skeptical investors without ever leading with the impact angle, and why the most oversubscribed deals in her network are increasingly backed by women in venture. Lucy shares the story of an investor who said he wanted nothing to do with climate, and how she got him to fund a climate company anyway. For anyone thinking seriously about impact investing for women and wealth building, this episode changes what it means to put capital behind values. The return data is catching up to the conviction. Lucy Rogers is proof that when you build from alignment, the numbers tend to follow. If this conversation sparked something, the next step is a room of your own.

Andy Kvesic left the job every lawyer wants to build something the profession had never seen. As CEO of Aprio Legal, he traded a general counsel role at a thriving family office for the harder, riskier work of acquiring a Phoenix law firm and redesigning how professional services actually work. The result is a historic combination: the first time two Alternative Business Structure firms have merged, bringing together a corporate law firm and a national accounting and advisory firm backed by private equity. Attorneys, accountants, wealth planners, and business advisors now serve the same clients under one roof. The idea came from watching entrepreneurs waste time and energy bouncing between disconnected professionals who never coordinated with each other. Arizona's 2021 rule change allowing non-lawyer law firm ownership gave Kvesic the opening to try something different. His merger with Aprio wasn't a calculated exit. It was the recognition that both firms were solving the same problem from opposite ends: Aprio's professionals were constantly referring clients out for legal work, and Kvesic's attorneys were constantly referring clients out for tax and accounting. Neither could fully serve their clients alone. Building the integrated platform also forced a reckoning with how differently law firms and accounting firms run their businesses. After two decades working almost exclusively with other lawyers, Kvesic found Aprio's infrastructure to be a genuine upgrade: multi-year planning, pipeline visibility, real margin analysis. For an industry that largely runs on a cash-in, cash-out model aimed at maximizing year-end partner distributions, the difference is significant. The legal profession is changing whether it wants to or not. The more interesting question Kvesic raises is whether the people inside it will have the courage to lead that change rather than resist it.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 From General Counsel to Law Firm Owner: Andy Kvesic's Career Path 02:51 The Vision Behind Raddock's Law and the ABS Model 09:03 How Aprio Legal Became the First ABS-to-ABS Merger 14:57 Cultural Differences Between Lawyers and Accountants 24:33 How Accounting Firm Discipline Is Changing Law Firm Operations 29:35 Growth Strategy and the Integrated Legal Accounting Platform 37:52 ABS Advice and the Future of the Legal Profession   Connect with Andy Kvesic: Connect with Andy on LinkedIn   Andy Kvesic - CEO, Aprio Legal | Partner    Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn  Howard's Company web profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  MergerWatch Website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

That tight hamstring you've been stretching might be your nervous system asking for something else entirely.   When pain shows up in one place, the source is often somewhere else. Dr. Andrew Fix walks through a real patient case from Physio Room where a woman who was experiencing persistent pain in her hamstring had been doing what most people do: stretching it out and hoping mobility work would eventually help. The sciatic nerve originates from the lowest nerve roots of the lumbar spine, and when those roots get irritated, the nerve signals the hamstring to hold protective tension. What feels like tightness is the nervous system protecting itself. Stretching works against that response.   In many cases like this one, the root cause is a lack of spinal stability. Without adequate muscular control around the pelvis and lumbar spine, gravity loads the vertebral joints and compresses the nerve roots every time you sit or stand. Dr. Fix explains how positional testing revealed exactly this pattern: her hamstring tested pain-free lying down but reproduced symptoms seated. When she was cued to engage her deep core before repeating the painful test, symptoms dropped roughly 70% without a single hands-on intervention. The muscle was the same. The spinal load was not.   How often are people chasing mobility and flexibility when the real missing ingredient is stability and control? Dr. Fix makes the case for thorough assessment before any treatment begins, and offers a clear signal to watch for: if a practitioner skips the diagnostic work and goes straight to treating what you describe, it is worth getting a second opinion.   Quotes "Nerves are like electrical cords. They don't enjoy being tugged on." (04:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "Your body's trying to have this protective mechanism, we're trying to stretch and take it away, and we're not necessarily helping ourselves out. We're temporarily relieving symptoms, but we're not addressing the real issue at hand." (04:40 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "When you have a lack of stability, what you cannot do is you cannot stretch it away. Because stretching doesn't give you stability. Stability is like strength and control, your ability to control the joints and the tissues while you're going through movement." (05:20 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "It hurts when there's no stability being created for the spine. But it doesn't hurt or doesn't hurt nearly as much when we do create some stability for the spine." (11:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "They shouldn't be just starting to treat something before they've really done a thorough assessment to know what they need to treat in the first place."

REPLAY! This conversation is too important to hear only once, and Jackie Goldschneider is exactly the reason why. Eating disorder recovery is not about food, and she wants you to understand why.On this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Jackie Goldschneider, author, activist, and Real Housewives of New Jersey former cast member, to talk about something rarely discussed with this level of honesty. Jackie lived with anorexia for nearly two decades before finding her way to health in her mid-forties, and her story is a reminder that eating disorder recovery can happen at any stage of life.Her memoir, The Weight of Beautiful, was born from the experience she wished she'd had when she was searching for answers. She opens up about what it felt like to live inside an illness that nobody around her truly understood, why eating disorders in women so often go unrecognized, and what she wants families to know about eating disorder mental health. Telling someone to just eat does not work, and this conversation explains why.Jackie also reflects on the relationship between mental health and body image, the role compulsive movement played in her disorder, and the moment she finally decided to ask for help. For anyone who has struggled personally or watched someone they love struggle, eating disorder awareness starts with honest conversations like this one.She shares what life looks like now, from friendships and writing, to therapy and learning that good enough is sometimes exactly enough.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Jackie Goldschneider on Eating Disorder Recovery and Advocacy01:28 Weekly Highs With Amy and Jackie03:29 How Anorexia Took Hold and What No One Talked About06:02 What People Get Wrong About Eating Disorder Mental Health08:32 The Rock Bottom Moment That Changed Everything13:00 Going Public on Real Housewives and the Fallout18:00 Writing The Weight of Beautiful and Why It Had to Exist25:00 Eating Disorders in Women and the Silence Around Them32:00 What Recovery Actually Looks Like Day to Day38:00 Beauty Favorites and Product Picks44:00 Quick Beauty Routine46:00 How Jackie Stays Grounded and What Keeps Her GoingConnect with Jackie Goldschneider:Follow Jackie on Instagram Shop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learnmore about our podcast topics.

Writing a book is one of the most overlooked thought leadership moves a female founder can make, and most people go into it completely unprepared.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Ruthie Ackerman, author of The Mother Code and founder of Ignite Writers Collective, about what it actually takes to write and publish a book. Ruthie spent years as a journalist and deputy editor at Forbes Women before losing her job, starting a business, and landing a Random House book deal. Now she helps women in business find their voice on the page, and she's honest about how hard the process is.The publishing world has a glamour problem. Most people picture the finished book, not the 90-page proposal, the years of revision, or the media outreach that a publisher will not do for you. Ruthie lays out what female founders need to know before they commit, including how to choose the right publishing path, what a real publicity strategy looks like, and why treating your book like a business launch is the only approach that works.For anyone building a personal brand and wondering whether a book belongs in that plan, Ruthie also speaks directly to the PR for small business reality. Getting press, landing speaking opportunities, and reaching the right audiences all require the same intentionality you bring to every other part of your business. A book done right is a long-term thought leadership asset, not a project you finish and walk away from.If your story has been sitting in the back of your mind waiting for the right moment, this episode is worth your time.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Thought Leadership Starts With Your Story03:51 Ruthie Ackerman's Path From Forbes to Random House05:59 Getting Laid Off and Launching Ignite Writers Collective08:21 How Ignite Writers Collective Grew During the Pandemic10:35 Starting a Book Three Months After Having a Baby12:08 Five Questions to Ask Before You Write a Book13:57 Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing vs. Hybrid15:50 What a 90-Page Book Proposal Actually Looks Like18:35 Why Authors Have to Be Their Own Marketers20:07 Three Tips for Making Time to Write22:08 What Not to Do When Writing a Book24:10 How to Find a Literary Agent26:41 All the Hats You Have to Wear as an Author28:55 How Ignite Studios Supports Authors End-to-End32:11 Ruthie's Three Actionable Steps for Aspiring AuthorsConnect with Ruthie Ackerman:Follow Ruthie on Instagram Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Annie sold a multi-million-dollar therapy center at 43. On paper, that kind of success should make a person feel safe. But money does not automatically rewrite what the body learned first. Host Syama Bunten sits down with Annie Wright, a licensed psychotherapist and executive coach specializing in trauma recovery for high achievers, for a conversation about what financial success can and cannot fix. For Annie, psychological healing and financial healing have never been separate work. Her childhood financial trauma shaped more than her beliefs about money. It shaped what safety, success, and self-worth felt like. Annie grew up between old-money privilege and real financial instability, watching money appear, disappear, and come with secrecy, shame, and survival. That early relational trauma and money mindset followed her into adulthood, even as she became the first in her family to build the kind of security she once imagined from a distance. This is a conversation about breaking the poverty cycle, first generation wealth building, and the emotional cost of becoming the person no one in your family knew how to model. Annie is honest about ambition as a survival strategy, the nervous system that still braces for everything to disappear, and why the numbers on paper do not always match the feeling of safety inside. Now, her work sits at the intersection of women and financial healing, with books, courses, and education designed to help more women move from survival into lives that feel secure, self-directed, and fully lived. Her 2026 book Decade of Decisions is part of that next chapter. If Annie's story speaks to you, keep going.

The secret to staying consistent might be hiding in your backyard.   Most people quit their fitness routines not because they lack discipline, but because progress is invisible in the short term. We live in a world wired for instant gratification, and when weeks of hard work in the gym produce no visible results, that invisibility is defeating. Yard work offers a useful contrast. Pull a weed, see the bare ground. Mow a strip of lawn, see exactly what you've covered. The feedback is immediate, and that immediacy does something powerful for motivation.   Dr. Andrew Fix uses that observation as a jumping-off point for a bigger question: how do you stay motivated when the progress you're working toward won't show up for weeks or months? His answer has less to do with willpower than with learning to notice smaller signals along the way. What went right today, even if the day itself felt like a loss? What did you learn from the thing that didn't work out? The people who eventually reach their goals tend to be the ones who get good at asking those questions rather than waiting for a big win to validate the effort.   The episode is a good reminder that consistency isn't a personality trait. It's a practice, and part of that practice is training yourself to find evidence that the work is worth continuing, even when the scoreboard doesn't show it yet.   Quotes "It takes a lot of time, weeks, months of consistency to really be able to sometimes see with your own eyes the progress that's happening. That can be very defeating sometimes." (04:35 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "What happens is they keep hopping from thing to thing, fad to fad, diet to diet, new workout plan to new workout plan. And you never stick with something long enough to actually see the results take shape." (05:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "Even on days that are not going according to plan, are there little things that worked out?" (07:10| Dr. Andrew Fix) "The people who are going to succeed and the people who are going to be in a farther place at the end of the day are going to have failed more times than the people who never got to that place." (07:55 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "Just keep falling and failing forward, and we'll eventually make it to where we want to go."

Jake and Kendrick came on Dance Dad to talk about Heated Rivalry. They ended up talking about something much harder: what gay men are taught to hide from themselves and each other.   John Corella, host of Dance Dad and co-creator of Dance Moms, sits down with Jake and Kendrick of The JK But Gay Show for a Pride Month conversation about body image, masculinity, friendship, intimacy, and the stories gay men carry into adulthood. The episode starts with a debate about Heated Rivalry, but it quickly becomes more personal than anyone expected.   John came in skeptical of the show. Jake and Kendrick came in as fans. What they work out together touches on gay body image issues, whether therapy changes the way you consume media, and whether a show can be pure entertainment and still carry a real responsibility to the people watching it. Nobody wraps it up neatly, and that is what makes it worth listening to.   The conversation gets personal fast. Jake talks about growing up where crying was not acceptable and what that cost him. Kendrick shares a coming out story that started during confession at the Vatican. John reflects honestly on why he kept falling for emotionally unavailable men. LGBTQ masculinity is not treated as a talking point here. It comes up the way it actually lives, inside specific memories and patterns that took years to name.   Underneath all of it is the thing Jake and Kendrick built together. Real gay male friendship is rarer than it should be, and they started their show because they knew that. Gay men and emotional maturity, platonic loyalty, and what it looks like to grow alongside another person are not side topics here. They are the whole foundation.   This is one of those episodes that stays with you.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcome to Dance Dad with John Corella 02:10 Meet Jake and Kendrick of the JK But Gay Show 08:31 Does Heated Rivalry Give Gay Men Body Image Issues 15:55 Hiding Your Identity in Sports and the Closet 41:17 Does Heated Rivalry Reinforce or Challenge Masculinity 48:12 Why Gay Men Are Drawn to Emotionally Unavailable Partners 52:51 The Difference Between Sex and Intimacy for Gay Men 59:46 A Gay Therapist Explains Why Heated Rivalry Feels So Good 1:17:06 Kendrick's Coming Out Story at the Vatican 1:21:04 Favorite Selena Quintanilla Songs 1:24:10 The Boldest Thing Each of Them Has Ever Done   Connect with Jake and Kendrick: Follow Jake and Kendrick on Instagram    Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

REPLAY! Some episodes are too good to only hear once. This one is back because the conversation Carl Daikeler started is still one of the most searched topics we have ever covered on Wellness Junkies.Host Amy Sherman sits down with Carl Daikeler, CEO and co-founder of BODi (formerly Beachbody), to talk about what it really takes to build wellness routines that hold up in an actual busy life. Carl has spent 26 years helping everyday people move more and eat better. And his own morning routine is practical, a little intense, and clearly built for real life. Cold plunge, lemon water, apple cider vinegar, a loaded Shakeology shake, and a 25 to 35-minute workout. Done by 8 a.m. No excuses, no flexibility on that.What gets Carl up at 5 a.m. is not passion for fitness, it is the fear of being the person at 80 who cannot get out of a chair without help. BODi was built on that same logic, helping busy parents feel capable in their daily lives.He also shares some of his best wellness hacks, including hiding broccoli in mashed potatoes to sneak in vegetables, swapping a separate breakfast for a nutrient-dense shake after his workout, and taking a brisk 15 to 20-minute walk after dinner to sleep better and support digestion. These are the kinds of habit strategies that stick because they fit in real life.If you missed this one the first time around, now is your chance. And if this is a re-listen, you will probably catch something new. Wellness Junkies is one of the best wellness podcasts for women that does not take itself too seriously but still delivers real value, and this episode is exactly why.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Carl Daikeler, CEO and Co-Founder of BODi01:22 From Beachbody to BODi: Building Fitness Programs for Everyday People09:32 Why Goal-Oriented Programs Beat Open-Ended Wellness Routines17:22 Mindset and the Power Mindset Project19:54 Health Esteem: The Alternative to Diet Culture and the Imperfection Economy23:27 GLP-1 Medications, Muscle Loss, and Why Exercise Still Matters27:01 Why Women Need Strength Training at Every Age31:26 Workout Motivation at 61: How Carl Got Into the Best Shape of His Life34:36 Carl's Morning Wellness Routines That Changed Everything38:25 Top Wellness Hacks: Cold Plunge, Post-Dinner Walks, and Eating Without GuiltConnect with Carl Daikeler:Visit the BODi WebsiteFollow Carl on InstagramConnect with Carl on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When permanent capital, AI disruption, and a rapidly fracturing talent market collide inside the legal industry, the old rules for how law firms grow, get funded, and build their next generation of lawyers stop making sense.   David Perla, Vice Chair of Burford Capital, joins hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to break down why permanent capital is a fundamentally different proposition than traditional private equity for boutiques and founder-controlled firms ready to grow, and why the AmLaw 100 is unlikely to move anytime soon.   The more urgent conversation is about what neither capital nor strategy can fully solve. Law firm leaders are making multi-year associate class decisions without any reliable sense of what their workforce looks like in twelve months. Startups that needed fifty people eighteen months ago now run on seven or eight. The associate pipeline, in-house departments, recruiting timelines: all of it is under pressure that is accelerating faster than most leaders want to admit.   Perla's advice is deceptively simple. Get curious. Ask hard questions of people who think differently. The firms that navigate this moment well are the ones willing to challenge assumptions before the market forces the issue.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction: David Perla, Vice Chair of Burford Capital 06:05 Building Pangea3 and Pioneering Legal Outsourcing 12:51 How Burford Capital Invests in the Legal Industry 23:44 Where Private Capital Is Heading in Law Firm Investment 29:51 AI, Legal Talent, and the Associate Pipeline Crisis 39:23 Legal Tech Valuations and the Coming Shakeout 46:06 Advice for Law Firm Leaders Navigating Disruption Links Connect with David Perla: Company Bio: https://www.burfordcapital.com/about-us/our-team/david-perla/  LinkedIn Profile link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidperla/   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company web profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  MergerWatch Website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

What if your money could fund the future you actually want to live in? That is the question Alix Lebec has spent her career trying to answer. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Alix, founder of Lebec, a firm built to mainstream innovative finance and put more capital to work on some of the world's biggest problems. Alix grew up between France, South Korea, and China before finishing high school in Dallas, Texas. That global upbringing shaped everything about how she sees money, risk, and opportunity. She built her career inside global development, philanthropy, and asset management before launching Lebec during the height of the pandemic to bridge the gap between traditional finance and meaningful change. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of innovative finance strategies, including how blended finance can turn $1 million in philanthropy into $50 million in private investment capital that would otherwise sit on the sidelines. Alix breaks down why women in impact investing are not choosing between returns and values, and why that false choice has kept too many people out of the room for too long. Lebec operates across three pillars. The first is strategic advisory. The second is a boutique investment manager that builds diversified portfolios of private market funds across sectors like water, oceans, and deforestation. The third is narrative change through commercial film and storytelling, where innovative finance structures put capital directly in the hands of social entrepreneurs. Alix is also raising a $1 million seed round to scale the vision. This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered whether her money can do more. Impact investing for women is no longer a niche conversation. It is becoming one of the most important conversations in finance.

When the question every injured runner is afraid to ask, "Do I have to stop?",  finally gets a straight answer, it turns out the real story has less to do with the pain itself and more to do with everything the runner wasn't tracking.   Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Dr. Vikash Sharma, DPT, founder of Perfect Stride Physical Therapy in New York, to talk through managing running injuries, avoiding stress fractures, and building a smart return to running after time off.   Stress fractures get missed more often than they should, and the clue is usually hiding in a two-minute conversation about nutrition and training load. Has your mileage gone up? Has your food intake kept pace? For a lot of runners, the answer to that second question is no.   For soft tissue injuries, Sharma's approach is less about stopping and more about finding a sustainable baseline, trimming the run, filling the rest with cross-training, and using that window to build the strength and mobility that likely broke down first.   The conversation also covers training load management, deload weeks, why most runners' strength work stopped producing results long ago, and what a real return-to-run progression actually looks like.   Find Dr. Vikash Sharma at @vikashsharma_dpt on Instagram or at perfectstridept.com. His clinical education platform for coaches and clinicians is at runningforlifeeducation.     Quotes "Runners run. That's what they want to do, and they'll keep running until the wheels fall off." (09:48 | Dr. Vikash Sharma) "If two months ago you were running X amount of mileage and now you're up 75% from that, but your nutrition hasn't really changed at all, and now you're starting to get signs and symptoms that make me think you have a bone stress injury, a hundred percent we're shutting it down." (10:39| Dr. Vikash Sharma) "Just like training their musculoskeletal system, just like training their nervous system and their brain — we got to train your gut as well." (22:13 | Dr. Vikash Sharma) "Your low days need to be low so that your high days can truly be high days." (32:53 | Dr. Vikash Sharma) "There's always a story behind this human. There is a human in front of you. Just get back to that human element and dig — a lot of your questions will get answered the more they're talking to you."

REPLAY! Most people think "grass-fed" tells the full story. According to Cloe Parker, it often does not, and that changes everything about how you shop for meat.On this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Cloe, who runs Parker Pastures, for one of the most practical wellness conversations the show has had. Cloe returned home after her mother was diagnosed with cancer and officially took over Parker Pastures right before she turned 20. Her mission since then has been simple. Help families understand what they are eating and why it matters.The wellness tips she shares here are not about supplements or skincare routines. They are about the food most of us buy every week without thinking twice. Cloe breaks down why the "grass-fed" label lost its regulatory meaning in 2016, what grain finishing does to the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in beef, and what fat color and meat color actually tell you about quality. She also gets into chicken processing, including the bleach bath most commercial chicken goes through before it hits the shelf.These are not wellness hacks you will find in a listicle. They are honest wellness conversations about the food system itself, the kind of relatable wellness conversations that make you rethink your next grocery run. Cloe also shares her wellness routines, from clean food and protein to faith, time in nature, and staying grounded in something real.Whether you are searching for the best wellness products or want better wellness tips for everyday life, this episode gives you a clear framework for both.Episode Breakdown:00:00 How Cloe Parker Took Over Her Family's Meat Company03:32 The Truth About Grass-Fed Labels and What They Actually Mean05:42 How to Tell If Your Meat Is Really Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished13:04 The Truth About Grocery Store Chicken and Bleach Baths13:43 How to Order From Parker Pastures and Buy Meat in Bulk18:19 The State of the Food Industry and Why Small Farms Need Your Support23:01 Wellness Tips From a Rancher: Nature, Clean Food, and Daily GroundingConnect with Cloe Parker:Follow Cloe on InstagramFollow Parker Pastures on FacebookVisit the Parker Pastures websiteUse code "WELLNESS" at checkout for 10% off at ParkerPastures.com, other links on prior episode page on website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Join the community built for women business owners over 40 who are building real businesses on their own terms. JOIN US INSIDE HERE, no code necessary to save.A group of executives walked into a room, and Leah knew exactly who mattered.Dear FoundHer host Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Leah Solivan to talk partnership marketing, founder visibility, and one of the clearest business growth stories from Taskrabbit's path to acquisition. Leah built Taskrabbit from a Boston apartment with no MBA, no startup network, and no idea how venture funding worked. What she had was an idea she refused to stop talking about and the discipline to do the unsexy groundwork for years before the right opportunity arrived. That is the entire lesson of this episode, and it applies to every woman building something right now.This conversation is for women founders who are tired of being told to run ads, chase virality, or wait for the perfect moment. Leah's story proves that partnership marketing is not a tactic. It is a long game built on real relationships, real data, and showing up consistently in the right markets before you ever get the right meeting.Taskrabbit's sale to IKEA started with one lucky opening, but the deal did not happen because of luck alone. It happened because Leah spent years trying to get on IKEA's radar, knew her numbers cold, and was ready when one person in a room of eight finally mattered. Taskrabbit was already operating in London, one of IKEA's largest markets, and a quarter of its jobs were IKEA furniture assembly. Founder visibility is not about being everywhere. It is about being undeniable when it counts.If you are a woman founder wondering whether the quiet, unglamorous work is moving anything forward, this episode will answer that. Building relationships in business the right way is slow. It compounds in a way quick wins often do not.Episode Breakdown:00:00 From IBM Engineer to Taskrabbit Founder: Leah Solivan's Origin Story03:33 Why Talking About Your Idea Is the First Step in Partnership Marketing08:57 Rebranding From Run My Errand to Taskrabbit11:09 How Leah Validated the Taskrabbit Concept Before Raising Money13:23 Raising a Startup's First Round of Funding With No Business Background19:40 Scaling a Business City by City and the Decision to Go International21:26 Building Trust in a Gig Economy Marketplace24:56 The IKEA Partnership That Led to an Acquisition28:49 Life After the Exit: Investing, Podcasting, and What Comes Next31:03 Three Actionable Tips for First-Time FoundersConnect with Leah Solivan:Follow Leah on InstagramConnect with Leah on LinkedInFollow Leah on XSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Substack: http://foundherfiles.substack.comFree Forum Open House + Networking Session Come see what's inside the Dear FoundHer Forum SAVE YOUR SEAT https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/q2forumopenhouse Join THE networking community for women business owners over forty, The Dear FoundHer...

Generational wealth building for women starts long before the first investment, the first business, or the first paycheck. It starts with the decision to believe your life can look different from the one you inherited. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Twyla Garrett, a serial entrepreneur, real estate developer, and founder of the Garrett Foundation, whose story is one of the most compelling examples of how to build wealth from poverty you will ever hear. Twyla grew up in Cleveland's inner city, was removed from her home at 14, spent time in juvenile homes, and relied on welfare and food stamps during college. She left with a financial acumen that would eventually carry her to seven figures within a year of walking away from a government job. Twyla does not skip the hard parts. From doing taxes and bookkeeping as a teenager to buying her first home at 26 with just $4,000 and shaky credit, to transforming a derelict Cleveland train station into the city's largest jazz supper club, Twyla's path is a masterclass in how to scale a business from nothing. Women entrepreneurs and real estate intersect throughout her journey in ways that feel practical and urgent, not abstract. But the conversation goes further than personal success. Twyla is now channeling everything she has built into a model for affordable homeownership in the inner city, one that replaces Section 8 dependency with actual ownership. People take care of what they own. A $200,000 condo with a $900 monthly mortgage costs less than what Section 8 currently pays for a two-bedroom rental. That gap is where generational wealth building for women and for entire communities becomes possible. If you have ever wondered whether your starting point disqualifies you, this episode is a reminder that your starting point does not have to define what you build next. And if you are ready to keep going, Wealth Catalyst is where women take it further. Join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit, a full-day event in San Francisco this October 16, 2026, or find a Freedom Tour salon happening near you. Women are gathering in 32 cities this year for intimate, honest conversations about money, risk, and what they are building.

Most runners are one bad training week away from an injury they never saw coming, and the way they think about shoes, strength, and recovery is probably making that worse.   Dr. Drew Short specializes in working with runners at PhysioRoom, and his approach to running injury recovery starts somewhere most people wouldn't expect: months back in an athlete's training log. The culprit behind most injuries isn't a single bad run. It's accumulated load, under-fueling, or a strength gap that quietly grew until something gave out. When the mechanical picture looks clean, Drew digs deeper, sometimes all the way to blood work and nutritional consults. Multiple tendon issues flaring up in different parts of the body at once? That's a systemic story, not a mechanical one.   The calf conversation is worth sitting with. Runners stretch it religiously and almost never strengthen it the way running actually demands. The soleus does significant work during each stride, but only when the knee is bent, which is almost never how people train it. A calf that always feels tight is probably asking for load, not length.   On the trail running vs. road running question, the differences go deeper than terrain. Strength demands, stability requirements, and pacing strategy all shift in ways that catch road runners off guard when they head onto the trails. And carbon-plated shoes? Both Drew and Dr. Ficks agree they have a place, but earning them matters more than buying them.   Quotes "The downside to under-fueling is you're going to hit a brick wall. The downside to over-fueling is maybe a rumbly stomach…I'd rather be on that end of the spectrum." (14:58 | Dr. Drew Short) "You might meet the rep scheme on a calf raise, but whenever you start making it more ballistic and you start using the tendon more, it doesn't like that. The rate of fire is just a lot slower on that side." (25:50 | Dr. Drew Short) "Stiffer tendons or more robust tendons — that's just free energy. If you're able to use that elasticity like a rubber band whenever you hit the ground, that's less that the muscles are having to push off." (33:19 | Dr. Drew Short) "If your calf always feels like it needs to be stretched, honestly, your tendon probably needs some load. You probably do need to be doing some heavy slow resistance through that tendon. Otherwise, you just keep stretching it all day every day." (34:32 | Dr. Drew Short) "If I'm doing a long effort and I can still breathe just through my nose, I know I'm gonna be fine at hour three, hour four."

Rahja Fuller did not luck into the Brandy and Monica Tour. He trained for it, prepared for it, and walked into the audition like he belonged there.   On Dance Dad, host John Corella talks with dancer, singer, actor, and former Pop Money member Rahja Fuller about how to become a professional dancer with focus, humility, and real industry awareness. At just 19, Rahja has already moved from competition dance to major stages.   Learning how to become a professional dancer is not only about being talented. It is about doing the small jobs before the big ones, taking unpaid opportunities when they build real experience, and understanding that relationships matter. Walk in like you belong there. Let your personality show. Stay present in the room. Focus on what makes you stand out instead of worrying about who else might book the job.   This conversation also gives space to a thoughtful discussion about Gen Z, masculinity, and the expectations placed on young men in dance. Rahja speaks openly about ballet, contemporary, hip hop, breakdance, and the way masculinity and male dancers are often talked about from the outside. His take on masculinity is rooted in confidence, discipline, self-respect, and comfort in your own skin.   For young dancers, parents, teachers, and anyone trying to understand what it really takes to build a career in entertainment, this episode offers more than a success story. It is a clear reminder that preparation matters long before the audition starts. Rahja is young, driven, and already thinking like someone who wants to bring people with him. Work hard. Stay ready. Know your history. And when the room opens, dance like you already know why you are there.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Dance Dad with John Corella and Guest Rahja Fuller 02:56 How Rahja Booked the Boy Is Mine Tour Audition at 19 04:08 Why Dance Competition Kids Make Better Professional Dancers 11:52 What Competition Dance Teaches You About Rejection and Resilience 28:26 The Role of a Supportive Dance Dad in a Dancer's Success 41:27 Dance Audition Tips from a 19-Year-Old Who Booked a Major Tour 54:39 Masculinity and Male Dancers in 2026 1:07:27 Why Doing Free Work Is Essential to Building a Dance Career Connect with Rahja Fuller: Follow Rahja on Instagram    Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

REPLAY! Consider this your sign to finally listen to the episode everyone keeps talking about.If you have been searching for beauty tips that actually work after 40, this is the episode. Kate Talbert, MUA and beauty educator, joins Wellness Junkies host Amy Sherman for the kind of conversation you want to have with a friend who just happens to know everything about makeup and skincare.Kate did not take the obvious path to beauty education. She was a kindergarten teacher, then a stay-at-home mom who started hosting small makeup classes around her kitchen table for women who had spent years putting themselves last. Then COVID hit, a friend suggested a Zoom makeup tutorial, and it went viral. Four years later she has built a following around one idea that sounds simple but changes everything. You are probably using too much and doing too much, and your skin would look better with less.She brings that same honesty to her beauty product recommendations. The brands worth knowing about, the classics worth keeping, and the places where the drugstore version is genuinely just as good. No hype, no sponsorship energy, just what she actually uses and why.Her skincare tips follow the same logic. Skin prep matters more than most women realize, facial oil is underrated, and applying makeup before your skincare has fully absorbed is quietly ruining your base.

In honor of Mother's Day, get $200 off a new Dear FoundHer... Forum membership through the month of May. Join the community built for women business owners over 40 who are building real businesses on their own terms. JOIN US INSIDE HERE, no code necessary to save.Thirty years ago, Jeni Britton started an ice cream company with no money, no backing, and no roadmap. Becoming a founder later in life turned out to be the best decision she never planned.In this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay talks with Jeni Britton, founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams and Floura, about what it takes to build something that lasts. Jeni started her first company at 22, but she will be the first to tell you that the best entrepreneurs are in their 40s. The data backs her up. The fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurs in the United States right now is women over 45, and those businesses tend to be more durable than the ones built by founders half their age.Real founder stories rarely come with a straight line. Jeni's includes early risk, hard lessons, public crisis, reinvention, and building again with more clarity. Jeni talks about closing her first business, Scream, and what learning from failure taught her about the difference between making what excites you and building something customers return to again and again. She also walks through the 2015 Listeria recall that nearly took Jeni's down, and why she looks back on it as one of the most important moments in her company's history. Scaling challenges, crisis leadership, and knowing when to simplify your mission so your team has something clear to hold onto are all part of the conversation.She gets into the founding of Floura too, her fiber nutrition company built from produce trimmings, and what becoming a founder later in life looks like when you already know the hard lessons. The second time around, she says, you know who to build with. Her coach and her advisor from the Jeni's years are now her co-founders at Floura. That kind of peer support for entrepreneurs is part of how the work actually gets done.For female founders at any stage, if you have been telling yourself you are behind, this episode makes a pretty strong case that you are not.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Why Jeni Britton Is a Must-Hear Guest for Women Founders03:42 How Jeni Britton Started Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams with No Money and No Backing10:46 The Accidental Product That Put Jeni's on the Map12:37 Why Word of Mouth Still Beats Social Media for Growing a Business22:17 The 2015 Listeria Recall and What It Taught Her About Values Under Pressure29:44 Becoming a Founder Later in Life: Why Jeni Stepped Back and Started Over33:28 Introducing Floura: A Second Company Built from Produce Waste and Gut Health Research44:01 How to Price, Scale, and Build a Product the Right Way47:00 Why the People You Build With Are Your Most Important Business Decision51:46 Why the Best Entrepreneurs Are in Their 40sConnect with Jeni Britton:Follow Jeni on InstagramFollow Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams on InstagramFollow Floura on Instagram Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Join THE networking community for women business owners over forty, The Dear FoundHer...

The system was not built for women raising capital, so Melissa Wallace built a new way forward. Melissa is the founder of Fierce Foundry, the first femtech venture studio in the United States. Long before she was reshaping how female founder funding works, she was sorting babysitting money into labeled envelopes and selling handmade greeting cards door-to-door with her dad's old briefcase. The instinct to build was always there, even before she had the language for it. With host Syama Bunten, Melissa shares the personal story behind the mission. She talks about a marriage in her twenties that ended with her ex-husband emptying her bank accounts after she asked for space, and a divorce process where she was willing to give up everything just to walk away clean. She shares how she went on to build a marketing agency, learned to lead instead of carrying every task herself, and kept seeing the same funding gap show up for women in health tech. Investors wanted proof of customers. Founders needed help getting customers. Too many had no early capital to make either happen. That loop is what Fierce Foundry was built to break. As a venture studio for women, it acts as a co-founder from day one, not a short-term program with a graduation date. It brings early capital, skilled operators, and support from idea through exit. This conversation offers a clearer path for any founder trying to understand how to raise pre-seed funding without relying on the usual gatekeepers. Women raising capital in femtech startups should not have to prove they belong before they even get started. Melissa is building the infrastructure to help more women build, fund, and scale what the world has been missing. If this conversation moved you, keep it going.

Sleep isn't a luxury you negotiate with; it's the biological foundation every other health habit is built on, and most people are getting far less of it than they think.   Dr. Andrew Fix revisits one of the show's most foundational episodes for Better Sleep Month, and the timing feels personal. A new baby at home has a way of clarifying just how much everything falls apart when sleep does. Drawing from Matthew Walker's landmark book Why We Sleep, this episode makes a compelling case that sleep deprivation isn't just fatigue. It's a direct line to cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, weight gain, and a compromised immune system.   Here's a question worth sitting with: if you went to bed at 10 and woke up at 6, did you actually get eight hours of sleep? Probably not. Time in bed and time asleep are not the same thing, and that gap is where most people are quietly losing ground.   Dr. Fix gets practical without being prescriptive. A consistent sleep schedule, a cooler and darker room, cutting caffeine earlier than feels necessary, and keeping alcohol away from bedtime are the kinds of shifts that build real resilience over time. He also draws a connection that often gets overlooked in fitness culture: sleep is where recovery actually happens, and poor sleep throws off the hormones that regulate hunger, making weight management an uphill battle no matter how clean your diet is or how early you get to the gym.   What would change about your daily habits if you treated sleep as seriously as your workouts or your nutrition? That's the real question this episode leaves you with.   Quotes “I think it's a shock to nobody that sleep is the most important thing in our lives. If we don't get enough of it, pretty much every major function of our body is going to suffer.” (02:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "The amount of time that you spend in bed that you think you are asleep does not equal or correlate to the amount of time that you actually sleep." ( 06:27 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “I do have a change in my sleep quality when I cut that caffeine out earlier. So, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, in theory, will help with your sleep quality.” (13:52 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You want your brain to be planning to go to bed when you get in bed. You want your body's cycle to be just so in tune with, ‘Oh, this is where I come when I want to go to sleep.'” (20:19 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “All of the professional athletes that we watch on television and whatnot, I can tell you that they are putting a much higher emphasis on sleep than we do in our normal lives.” (31:59 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links   https://www.sleepdiplomat.com/  SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20   Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Neka Pasquale turned a side project into a $48 million business, and she'll be the first to tell you she had no idea what she was doing.She was an acupuncturist treating patients when she started making food and juices as part of their care. People loved it, word got around, and before long, Urban Remedy was growing faster than she could plan for. There was no roadmap. Just a lot of late nights, a lot of mistakes, and a refusal to quit.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, Neka sits down with host Lindsay Pinchuk to talk about starting a business for the first time with no roadmap, no business background, and no idea the thing would grow into what it became. She shares what it was like fulfilling 500 juice orders while pregnant, shipping food across the country before she was remotely ready, and learning operations, HR, and food safety by making every possible mistake first.The story of how Urban Remedy landed in Whole Foods is worth the listen alone. It didn't come from a pitch. It came from a bike ride. That's partnership marketing working exactly the way it's supposed to, and it's a reminder that the relationships you're already building matter more than any campaign you could run.Scaling a business that sells fresh organic food nationally comes with scaling challenges most brands never take on. Neka talks about managing rapid growth without losing the mission, the burnout that built up quietly over 12 years of nonstop doing, and why protecting what your brand stands for gets harder the bigger you get.For women entrepreneurs who are building something that actually means something, this conversation offers a candid look at what growth actually asks of you.Episode Breakdown:00:00 How Urban Remedy Started by Accident06:25 Managing 500 Orders While Pregnant08:39 The Operational Chaos of Scaling a Business11:15 How a Bike Ride Led to 400 Whole Foods Locations15:36 Staying True to Your Mission at Scale22:22 The Real Challenges of Scaling Fresh Food Nationally23:39 When and Why to Hire a CEO29:14 What Every Woman Founder Needs to Know Before Scaling a BusinessConnect with Neka Pasquale:Follow Neka on Instagram Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Free Forum Open House + Networking Session Come see what's inside the Dear FoundHer Forum SAVE YOUR SEATJoin THE networking community for women business owners over forty, The Dear FoundHer...

What happens to the modern law firm when AI strips away the advantage of size and leaves judgment as the true measure of value?   Robb Patryk joined Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to talk about why AI may reset some of the biggest assumptions in the legal industry. If sophisticated legal work no longer depends on armies of lawyers, what actually gives a firm its edge? For Robb, the answer is clear. Sharp judgment, trusted client relationships, and a strategy that knows exactly which problems a firm is built to solve.   This conversation gets to the real pressure point behind all the AI hype. What happens to training when junior lawyers no longer learn through hours of document review? What happens to growth when bigger no longer means better? Robb makes the case for a more deliberate future where independent firms can stay competitive, stay focused, and stay human while using AI to move faster and think better.   There is also a bigger leadership question running through this episode. How do you protect a firm's identity when the market keeps pushing toward consolidation, private equity, and scale at all costs? Robb offers a grounded look at what it takes to lead with conviction in a moment when the legal world feels wide open.

Aging gets blamed for a lot of things that may have more to do with disuse, fear, and incomplete advice than the number of candles on your birthday cake.   Dr. Andrew Fix talks with physical therapist Eileen Kopsaftis about pain, aging, and strength through a lens that challenges the usual story of decline. Eileen questions the idea that weakness, balance issues, loss of independence, and chronic pain are simply part of getting older. Some of these changes may be common, but are they truly normal?   Andrew and Eileen unpack why pain often points to a bigger movement story. A shoulder issue may trace back to an ankle. Foot pain may connect to the hips. A limitation may have less to do with the part that hurts and more to do with the way the whole body works together.   They also talk about strength, stairs, muscle loss, and the subtle ways convenience can speed up physical decline. What happens when we stop taking the stairs? How much of aging is shaped by what we believe our bodies are capable of? This episode is a smart reminder that the body is a system, and aging can look very different when we keep building capacity instead of accepting decline as destiny.   Quotes “You have to believe that your body was designed to perform based on how you work it, based on how you feed it, based on how you live your life.” (Eileen Kopsaftis | 16:04) “There is a choice. If you believe you're gonna decline no matter what you do, you're not gonna do anything.” (Eileen Kopsaftis | 18:20) “The human body is not designed on a cellular level to decline. When you're doing the right things the right way, your body responds. doesn't matter how old you are.” (Eileen Kopsaftis | 26:45) “But as soon as that person stops having to climb stairs, they decline.” (Eileen Kopsaftis | 40:43) “It's important for people to remember that they're a whole body and they're not a body part.” (Eileen Kopsaftis | 56:37) Connect with Eileen Kopsaftis: Have Lifelong Wellbeing Subscribe to Eileen's YouTube SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20     Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

For anyone raising boys who dance, this Mother's Day episode will hit home fast. In this season 3 premiere episode of Dance Dad, John Corella sits down with his mom Sylvia and his brother Joseph for a conversation that goes far beyond recital memories. It gets into what it really takes to believe in a child before the rest of the world catches up. Sylvia shares what it meant to be a dance mom for two sons in an environment that did not always make room for boys who dance, and why supporting boys in dance can shape far more than talent. It can shape confidence, identity, and the courage to stay true to yourself.   There is a lot here for listeners who want honesty, heart, and a few Dance Mom funny moments too. You get family stories about competitions, Broadway, Star Search, tough feedback, and the kind of humor only siblings and a seasoned dance mom can bring. You also hear how Sylvia's life experience as a survivor of cancer, stroke, and loss gave her a deeper sense of faith and perspective. That turns this into more than a family tribute. It becomes real inspiration to be kind, stand up for your kids, and keep going through hard seasons. If you care about parenting, resilience, or the lasting impact of believing in boys who dance, this one is worth your time.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Mother's Day Special With Sylvia Corella and Joseph Corella 05:22 How a Dance Mom Supported Boys Who Dance 16:20 Bullying, Courage, and Supporting Boys in Dance 20:23 Advice for Dance Moms Raising Boys Who Dance 33:08 Cancer, Faith, and Staying Strong Through Hard Seasons 36:42 Broadway, Star Search, and Proud Family Milestones 44:59 What Winning Means in Dance and in Life 53:55 Dance Parent Pressure, Judgment, and Protecting Young Dancers 01:00:21 Betty Boop, Dance Memories, and Funny Family Moments 01:09:13 Bold Choices, Moving Away, and Building a Creative Life Connect with John Corella: www.josephcorella.com Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

REPLAY! This one was too good to sit in the archives.Interior design has never felt this personal, this practical, or this easy to actually use in your own home.Amy Sherman of Wellness Junkies sits down with her longtime friend and interior designer Zoe Feldman for a conversation that covers a lot of ground, from summer decorating on a budget to the beauty routines of a woman running a 35-person design firm. If you caught this one the first time around, you already know why it is back. If you missed it, you are in for a treat.Zoe's approach to interior design is refreshingly honest. Your home is meant to be lived in, not preserved. Marble etches. Wine spills. That is the point. She talks through the 80/20 rule she uses across every project, 80% quiet canvas, 20% bold statement, and how that same thinking applies to budgets, materials, and the way color works in a space. Natural stone, color-forward kitchens, and organic materials are having a moment, and Zoe breaks down why it all connects to a bigger cultural shift toward authenticity over perfection.She also pulls back the curtain on Demi, her newer service tier built for clients who want serious design talent without the full-service price tag. It is one of the more relatable wellness conversations you will hear from a creative entrepreneur, because it started with Zoe realizing she could not afford herself.The wrap session brings relatable beauty tips. Highlighter every single day. Foundation serum over heavy coverage. Moisturizer as a non-negotiable. These are the low-effort beauty hacks that actually hold up when you are a busy working mom running out the door with a bun and five minutes to spare. As far as beauty routines go, hers is proof that simple and intentional beats are complicated every time.This is one of the best wellness podcasts for women doing the real work of building something while staying grounded.

Women's sports investing is one of the biggest opportunities in the market right now, and Lorine Pendleton has been calling it for years.  Host Syama Bunten sits down with Lorine Pendleton, founder of 125 Ventures, a venture capital fund at the intersection of sports, media, entertainment, and technology. She grew up in Harlem, earned her degree at Brown, went to law school at night while working in entertainment, and eventually negotiated the very first hip hop arena tour at a time when promoters refused to book rap artists in large venues.  Building wealth as a woman, she learned early, starts with the basics. Her father came from nothing, bought six multifamily homes, and talked about money openly at the dinner table. That foundation shaped everything that followed. Save consistently. Live below your means. Understand equity.  Her entry into angel investing for women came through a CNN segment that stopped her cold. She learned that less than 1% of venture funding reached Black founders and less than 2% reached women. She found Pipeline Angels, wrote her first check, and never looked back. The Rising America funds she co-raised went on to become some of Portfolia's best performers, with investments like Canela Media returning 50x.  What sets Lorine apart is her view of women's sports growth as a structural opportunity, not a social cause. The attendance numbers, media rights deals, and a 400% WNBA salary increase backed by a Nobel Prize-winning economist make the case plainly. Startup equity explained through her lens means understanding where value lives before everyone else catches on.  If this conversation has you thinking bigger about where to put your money and your attention, join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit in New York on May 14. Lorine will be on stage, and this is exactly the kind of conversation that will continue there.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Lorine Pendleton and 125 Ventures 03:03 Growing Up in Harlem: Early Money Lessons and Financial Foundations 11:30 Choosing Passion Over Pay: Breaking Into Entertainment Law 13:00 Negotiating the First Hip Hop Arena Tour 20:13 Understanding Startup Equity and Early Tech Exits 25:54 The CNN Moment That Sparked Her Angel Investing Journey 32:00 Why Women's Sports Is the Biggest Investment Opportunity Right Now 34:58 The Technology Infrastructure Behind Women's Sports Growth 39:03 WNBA Salaries, Valuations, and the Data That Proves the Opportunity 41:39 How to Connect with Lorine Pendleton and 125 Ventures Find more from Syama Bunten: Attend a Salon near you: wealthcatalyst.com/salons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syama.co/ Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: https://syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

 An injury can sideline one limb without giving the rest of your body permission to quit.   When you're in a sling, boot, or on crutches, the instinct is often to stop everything until you're “cleared.” But what does that pause really cost? In this episode of The Code, Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down cross education and why training the uninjured side of the body can help preserve strength, limit atrophy, and support recovery on the injured side.   This conversation challenges the all-or-nothing mindset that often shows up after injury or surgery. Many people are told what not to do, but not what they can still do. That missing guidance can lead to lost habits, lower motivation, and a harder return to activity. With the right modifications, safe movement can keep the body and brain connected to the larger goal.   The bigger message is simple: recovery does not have to mean disappearing from your routines, your community, or your goals. Consistency still matters. And sometimes the best question after an injury is not, “How long until I'm back?” It's, “What can I still do today?”   Quotes “The body is a fantastic machine. And it's smart enough to know that when we have an injury where we have something that's bothering us, we can't just stop moving. We need to keep moving.” (Dr. Andrew Fix | 01:23) “Continue to train the movements that you would do with that injured limb if it wasn't injured.” (03:27 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “One of the missed opportunities when it comes to rehabilitation and training is maintaining the consistency when something happens.” (04:09 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Your goals don't stop just because something happened to you.” (06:42 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “The worst thing you could do is use that time to do nothing.” (09:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links https://www.google.com/search?q=cross+education+body+injury&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS987US989&oq=cross+education+body+injury&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRifBTIHCAYQIRifBTIHCAcQIRifBTIHCAgQIRifBTIHCAkQIRifBdIBCDU2NDNqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8    SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20     Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Pausing a business you built from zero is one of the most honest tests of whether you actually believe in what you made.Host Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Angie Tebbe, founder of Rae Wellness, for one of those real founder stories that doesn't gloss over the hard parts. Angie built Rae Wellness into a brand with 4.5 million customers in three years. Then came the scaling challenges that most founders never talk about publicly. A retail rollout that went sideways, misalignment with a key partner, and a foundation that wasn't ready for the speed of the growth. Instead of patching holes or chasing short-term recovery, Angie paused the entire company.What happened next is a testament to the authentic relationship Angie built with her customers. The community didn't move on. Customers kept checking the site. They kept spreading the word. They kept asking when Rae Wellness was coming back. That kind of loyalty is the direct result of years of community building for business and treating customers like partners from day one. Angie had been running focus groups with women before the brand even launched, getting feedback on values, messaging, and products before anything hit the market.This episode speaks directly to women founders who are building something that actually means something to people. Angie talks about the decision to return, the team she reassembled, and the mindset shift she brought into this second round. She's growing an audience again, but on different terms. No paid lists, no boosted ads, no manufactured momentum.

A jar of homemade deodorant at a Portland farmers market became a multimillion-dollar acquisition by Unilever seven years later, and the woman behind it never had a master plan.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Jaime Schmidt, founder of Schmidt's Naturals, for one of those rare, unfiltered conversations about bootstrapping a consumer brand from a kitchen table with almost no money, no manufacturing experience, and a newborn at home. Jaime's path was not linear or polished. She was a social worker who moved across the country, got inspired by the Portland maker community, and started whipping up natural deodorant while pregnant because she wanted cleaner products and could not afford to buy them. That is where it all began.What makes her story so useful for a first-time founder is how unglamorous the early days really were. Jaime hand-formulated everything using basic pantry ingredients, packed jars in a garage with a small team working off a changing table, and sold them on Etsy and at markets before she had a real website. Getting publicity came not from a PR firm but from sending samples to bloggers and YouTubers who were excited for new things to try. An early Today Show feature brought a flood of orders she was not ready for.Transitioning from employee to founder meant learning wholesale, retail pricing, inventory forecasting, and supply chain on the fly as the brand moved into Whole Foods and beyond. Managing rapid growth brought its own pressure. Scaling rapidly through multiple manufacturing spaces while trying to protect product quality and stay cash-flow stable tested everything she had built.Jaime's advice to women starting over or starting late? Stop talking yourself out of it. Find people who support you. And stop fixating on the end game. Just focus on the next real step in front of you. She did exactly that, and it was enough.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Jaime Schmidt on Building Schmidt's Naturals From Scratch03:16 How Schmidt's Naturals Started at a Kitchen Table06:09 Getting Publicity Through Bloggers, The Today Show, and Early Retail Wins10:39 Bootstrapping Manufacturing and Scaling Into Major Retail Stores13:08 Why Jaime Schmidt Sold Schmidt's Naturals to Unilever17:28 How to Scale a Consumer Brand Without Losing Your Values22:20 Jaime Schmidt on Mentorship, Supermaker, and Investing After Exit26:28 Business Advice for Women Starting Later and Becoming a FounderConnect with Jaime Schmidt:Follow Jaime on InstagramConnect with Jaime on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files: http://foundherfiles.substack.comDon't build your business alone, join the FoundHer Forum to build alongside women just like you: https://www.dearfoundher.com/tourFollow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.
