Cake For Dinner

What does it take to rebuild your life after losing everything?

I sat down with Hilary Musser—real estate broker, developer, entrepreneur, and one of the standout personalities from Netflix’s Palm Beach reality scene. From living a $40M lifestyle to starting over from scratch, Hilary shares the raw truth about independence, relationships, and what it really takes to build success on your own terms.

We dive into her journey through five marriages, the lessons she’s learned about love and self-worth, and how she rebuilt her career into a powerhouse brand—now selling $42M luxury homes in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country.

Hilary also reveals why West Palm Beach is becoming a new epicenter for wealth, how reality TV can be used as a strategic business tool, and why more women are choosing to reinvent themselves later in life.

In this episode I sat down with Alli Webb, founder of the iconic beauty brand Drybar, to talk about the real story behind building one of the most recognizable brands in the beauty industry.

What started as a simple idea — blowouts only — turned into a category-defining company and a billion-dollar business. But behind the success story is a much more human journey.

Alli shares the details that made Drybar explode, the intentional design choices that competitors missed, and the grit required to build a brand before social media existed.

We also dive into the personal side of entrepreneurship — parenting through difficult seasons, addiction recovery within the family, navigating divorce, and finding your identity after selling the company you built.

Now with her new brand Messy, Alli is on a mission to help women embrace authenticity and stop chasing perfection.

Rachel Johnson looks like she has it all — founder of a successful law firm, creator of a thriving wellness community, wife, mother of three.

But six months after her third baby, everything changed.

Rachel shares her experience with postpartum depression that didn’t show up immediately — and didn’t leave quickly either. What began as stress returning to work turned into a dark cloud she couldn’t shake. She didn’t want to decorate for Christmas. She didn’t want to get out of bed. She didn’t feel like herself.

This episode explores:

The reality of postpartum depression months after birth

What high-functioning depression looks like

Medication, therapy, and the stigma around both

How leadership changes when you’ve been knocked down

The role of friendship, marriage, and vulnerability

Why happiness isn’t something to take for granted

If you are silently struggling — or love someone who is — this conversation is for you.

Depression doesn’t discriminate. And it’s not forever.
