Starting a business is never a straight line — and Zoe Johnston, founder of Spilt Milk Collective, knows this better than most. In this conversation, we talk about what it really takes to grow something meaningful: the doubts, the pivots, the wins, the challenges, and the deep trust in timing.

We get into how Zoe built her culinary production company from the ground up — not by moving faster, but by listening more. She shares the risks she took, the personal shifts she made, and how aligning her business with her body’s natural rhythms changed everything.

TOPICS COVERED:

🎙️ How sobriety gave her clarity in both life and leadership

🎙️ Building a support system and strong connections

🎙️ Why working with your cycle isn’t just about hormones — it’s about strategy

🎙️ The challenge of unlearning hustle culture

🎙️ Why slowness is often the secret to sustainable creativity

This is an honest look at what it means to build something on your own terms and how success is really just creating an ever-changing recipe of what a more sustainable work/life balance should taste like.
