From rock bottom to global skincare brand: Elizabeth Silver
In this episode of FlowZone, we sit down with Elizabeth Silver, founder of Soda and Co — the globally loved, natural skincare brand created for tweens. Born from a mother’s mission to protect her daughter from allergens in mainstream products, Elizabeth’s journey is anything but conventional. From packing orders solo to building an international brand, she opens up about the emotional toll of lockdown, the challenges of divorce, and the moment she nearly gave up.
Elizabeth shares how one customer order reignited her belief, how intuition and spirituality guide her business decisions, and why authenticity is the foundation of everything she creates. We talk resilience, reinvention, and the power of building something with purpose and especially when the odds are stacked against you.
If you’ve ever questioned your path, faced self-doubt, or needed a reminder of what’s possible when you lead with heart, this episode is for you.
