#324: If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a multimillion-dollar brand from scratch — beyond the polished Instagram posts and the "overnight success" stories — this conversation is for you. Today I'm sitting down with Siff Haider, co-founder of Arrae and host of the Dream Bigger podcast, who turned wedding savings into a $100M wellness empire while keeping her sanity, her marriage, and her authenticity intact.Siff gets refreshingly real about the unglamorous early days: bootstrapping, sounding like "two little bitches" on investor calls (her dad's words, not mine), and sweating through her first podcast recording. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her step into her power, why she treats customers like influencers, and how she built a team of 33 people who care as deeply as she does.This episode is for you if:You're building something and terrified of looking cringeYou're trying to figure out when to take funding (and how much)You want to understand how to scale without losing your soulYou're navigating the balance between data and intuition as a founderYou're curious about building a personal brand that's bigger than your businessIf you enjoyed this episode, leave us five stars — I heard that if you rate the show five stars, something lucky happens.

Christmas came early this year! The spirits are high, and the gals are buzzing as they are joined once again by their fave in-house narcissist expert, Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, for yet another eye-opening and satisfying conversation. The episode kicks off with some fun holiday updates from D and Jac and a quick recap for those tuning in from Part 1. Dr. Z then shares empowering advice for those in the thick of narcissistic relationships and the life that awaits them on the other side.

Finally, Dr. Z shares more about her Holiday Help Workshop, offering tips to feel more at ease during this season, how to respond to boundary-less questions at family gatherings, and so much more.

Christmas came early this year! The spirits are high, and the gals are buzzing as they are joined once again by their fave in-house narcissist expert, Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, for yet another eye-opening and satisfying conversation. The episode kicks off with some fun holiday updates from D and Jac and a quick recap for those tuning in from Part 1. Dr. Z then shares empowering advice for those in the thick of narcissistic relationships and the life that awaits them on the other side. The trio explores the buzz around “heavy” terms like narcissist and gaslighting and gets into why we can't just toss them around on a whim. Dr. Z challenges the conventional notions of self-worth we see online and offers her refreshing take on navigating through life post-trauma. Finally, Dr. Z shares more about her Holiday Help Workshop, offering tips to feel more at ease during this season, how to respond to boundary-less questions at family gatherings, and so much more. Tune in for tough love, laughs, and practical strategies to navigate the holidays with a sense of calm!
