Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff ·

2023/02/21

We’ll address the big question first: Christina Stembel of Farmgirl Flowers really did grow up on a farm. Growing up in northern Indiana, Christina was expected to fulfill her womanly duties as a wife and mother while her brother went off to college. But Christina had other plans. She hightailed it to New York within two weeks of graduating from high school and started working. Christina did not grow up with a lot of people cheering her on and wishing her success, and that made her strive for it all

2023/01/31

This episode was originally released in September 2019. Laura has since gone on to found her own multi-platform media company, LB Media. Laura Brown came up in the 80’s – a period devoid of the internet and Instagram, where fashion inspiration came almost exclusively in the form of magazines. To make things worse for a young fashionista living in Australia, as Laura did, those magazines arrived three months after their release date. Laura was hungry for the glitz and the glam, and made it her goal

Jill Kargman is not your neighborhood soccer mom and she doesn’t play one on TV, either. Her dark sense of humor and love of all things goth might put her out of place at most “mommy and me” gatherings, but this is especially true on the swanky Upper East Side where she originates. However, Jill isn’t one to waste her time worrying about what other people think. Instead, she worked her alchemical writing magic and spun this into comedy gold, using her position in society as inspiration for the

Being a mom is hard. There’s no other way around it. It’s beautiful and amazing too, but it comes with challenges.

Naomi Davis has created an art form by way of documenting her family life. What started as a way to share wedding photos with family morphed into a blog that

When it comes to business, you’re not often told to let your heart be your guide, but it’s probably something that more schools should teach. When Nancy Twine realized that finance was not the path for her, she took it back to basics, focused on times in her life she had been the happiest, and took it from there. Recalling days spent making beauty products at home with her chemist-physician mother, Nancy knew she was onto something. Time spent researching and connecting with others in the personal

Ever since she was a child, Jade Watson enjoyed storytelling in all its forms. Inspired by the notion that you could get paid to travel the world and share these stories, Jade knew she was destined for a career in production and media. The major caveat: as a Canadian citizen, Jade had to convince the U.S. Embassy to allow her to run her own company stateside. Luckily, two years at a venture capital firm and a heap of legal research prepared Jade for exactly the kind of skills she’d need to not only
