400: The Messy, Beautiful Truth About Reinvention (and Starting From Scratch)
Hey Brave Table fam! We’re celebrating 400 episodes, and I’m going all in with you.
This isn’t your average highlight reel. It’s the real story of what it took to build my latest company — from scratch — while navigating motherhood, business pivots, product failures, and a whole lot of late-night decision-making (with chai in hand, of course).
In this raw and real solocast, I’m walking you through the exact breakdown behind the scenes of launching Chai Tonics, my new wellness CPG brand. You’ll hear how I fired 4 formulators, got rejected 27 times before landing a dream book deal, and what I’ve actually learned from 400 episodes of this show.
This episode is for every woman with a vision, especially if you’re building something new, wondering if it’s all worth it, or navigating the tension between ambition, motherhood, and identity.
What you'll get out of this episode…
The biggest mindset shift that helped me move from idea to launch
How to make decisions when everything feels uncertain
The power of “letting go” to receive more
Why success isn’t a straight line (and what to do when things go wrong)
The real cashflow & time challenges no one talks about
What’s next for The Brave Table, Chai Tonics, and this community
