Come celebrate our 50th episode as well as our ONE YEAR anniversary with today's conversation with Catalina Gonzalez, founder of Dondolo. 

After having her first son, Catalina struggled to find high-quality baby clothing that could stand the test of time. During this season of life, she also felt a deep calling to find a way to help mothers in her native Colombia, where challenges like poverty and food insecurity compound the challenges of motherhood. Thus began her luxury children’s clothing brand, Dondolo.

Today, Dondolo provides children with beautiful, heirloom-quality clothing made in Colombia. When a Dondolo purchase is made, funds from that purchase fuel new employment for mothers in Colombia through the ethical manufacturing of their products. 

You'll love hearing more about Catalina's heart for mothers around the world, her family, her business, and so much more on today's episode with host Emily Landers. We can't wait to hear what you think!

On today's episode, our host, Emily Landers welcomes guest, Chloe Epstein, the founder of Chloe's, onto HSDT!

When Chloe became pregnant with her first child, she started paying more attention to the quality of the foods she was eating and set out to find the perfect frozen treat that satisfied her cravings without all the artificial ingredients, colors, and flavorings. After leaving her job as an Assistant District Attorney, Chloe started experimenting with fruit in juicers, blenders, etc. Following countless recipes, tons of frozen bananas, and lots of patience, Chloe’s Fruit was born using just fruit, water, and cane sugar.

In this episode, you'll hear more about the behind-the-scenes of the beginning stages of Chloe's, how Chloe decided to take the plunge and leave her job as an attorney to become an entrepreneur, the perseverance it took to grow Chloe's to the place it is today and the serendipitous moments for the business along the way.

And as if one jewelry company wasn't enough, Loryn launched a new company in the spring of 2020 that is solely fine jewelry - LE Fine Jewelry - short for Loryn Elizabeth. Loryn continues to use her degree in architecture to custom design her fine jewelry line. She works closely with manufacturers and jewelers locally in Dallas, Texas, and is currently in the process of attending GIA school to further her education in all things diamonds!
