Laura sits down with Dani Kagan—mom, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mave & Chez —to dive deep into the real, raw, and inspiring journey of building a business while raising a family. Dani opens up about everything from naming her brand after her grandmothers to the unglamorous (but very real) parts of running a company. We’re talking community, courage, asking for help, Dragon’s Den... and all the beautiful messiness in between.

If you're a mom entrepreneur navigating growth, delegation, and identity, this one’s for you.
