Hannah Habes didn’t set out to spark a matcha movement. She set out to heal herself. What started as a personal health journey became the foundation for Matchaful, a brand that’s grown from Hannah biking around New York with a backpack full of matcha to seven thriving cafes and a wholesale business across the U.S.

Too often, women are told to play it safe. Don’t quit the job. Don’t take the risk. Don’t go it alone. Hannah did the opposite. Along the way, she ignored the “rules,” trusted her instincts, and built her business with grit, creativity, and persistence.

Key Takeaways:

• The real story behind bootstrapping and scaling Matchaful in New York City

• Why sustainable growth matters more than rapid expansion

• The importance of owning your customer experience

• Why staying connected to your product’s source builds authenticity and trust

• Believing in your product sometimes matters more than convincing skeptics

About Our Guest:

Hannah Habes is the founder of Matchaful, a female-led botanical nutrition brand offering direct-trade, single-origin matcha, and plant-based snacks. After experiencing burnout in the food industry, she built Matchaful around transparency, ritual, and intentional sourcing, knocking on café doors with samples and whisking drinks herself, while holding off on launch until she found the perfect farm partner. From a solar-shaded tea farm in Shizuoka to NYC cafés known for refined sugar-free lattes and functional snacks, Hannah is reshaping wellness culture with sustainably sourced ingredients and calming, restorative experiences rooted in Japanese tradition.

So many women spend years building a life that looks good on paper—degrees earned, careers established, families raised—while quietly carrying the weight of survival. We push harder, achieve more, and numb the rest. Until one moment demands we face the truth: this isn’t happiness.

For Shamina Taylor, that moment came on a yoga mat in 2013 when she found herself unraveling in the stillness she had always avoided. That breakdown became a breakthrough. She turned her pain into purpose, her hustle into harmony, and her scarcity into abundance. Her story isn’t just about one woman’s wealth. It’s about the power of women everywhere to step into their own.

Key Takeaways:

• Operating solely in masculine “do mode” keeps women in survival cycles.
• Wealth consciousness isn’t about saving every penny; it’s about identity shifts.
• Fear disguises itself as safety; intuition requires nervous system regulation.
• Investing in yourself accelerates growth and collapses timelines.
• When women rise in abundance, they change generations.

What happens when women dare to question the systems designed to keep them small? Julianna Glasse knows firsthand. Once a Christian pop singer at the center of evangelical culture, she walked away from it all after realizing the cost of her silence and submission. When a man in her church sneered, “This is what happens when women read,” Julianna turned that insult into a global movement to reclaim the inherent worth of women and dismantle the internalized fear and shame that keeps them trapped.

But her story isn’t just about leaving religion. It’s about what every woman faces when she decides her worth isn’t defined by anyone else. It’s about courage, liberation, and the radical act of self-actualization.

Key Takeaways:

• Women who refuse silence change everything
• Autonomy is non-negotiable
• Systems built on control crumble when women rise
• Oppression wears many faces
• When one woman rises, she gives others the courage to do the same

Kara Brothers knows what it’s like to follow the “right” path and to realize it’s not the right path for you at all. She had the title, the salary, and the security.

For women, that leap isn’t just about business. It’s about rewriting the rules. Kara’s story is proof that you can build massive growth and create a workplace that values people, families, and joy. Because when women lead differently, companies don’t just make more money. They make more sense.

Key Takeaways:

• Why betting on yourself is worth the uncertainty
• How to create a culture that supports high performance and well-being
• The underestimated power of asking for help
• Building a career you own instead of one that owns you

Isabelle Boemeke walked away from modeling and into the belly of one of the most misunderstood industries on the planet: nuclear energy. Not because it was trendy, but because it mattered. Now, she’s rewriting the narrative around clean energy, using her platform to cut through fear, misinformation, and bad branding.

Because the truth is, women are tired of being talked down to, especially when it comes to science, technology, and the future of our planet. We don’t need dumbing down. We need clarity, courage, and creators like Isabelle who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

Key Takeaways:

• The cultural baggage nuclear energy carries, and how Isabelle is unraveling it with education and edge
• Why nuclear is actually the safest and cleanest form of energy
• How Isabelle turned curiosity into a movement — and a character
• Why storytelling, branding, and bold visuals in science matter more than ever 
• The worst advice Isabelle ever got and why being “cringe” is the key to building anything worthwhile

Book: Rad Future

About Our Guest

Isabelle Boemeke is the Founder and Executive Director of Save Clean Energy and the creator of the online persona Isodope. Through Isodope, Isabelle has taken a uniquely subversive approach to harness the power and scale of social media to inform the next generation of leaders and builders about the massive potential of nuclear electricity to help solve global climate crises. Her education and advocacy efforts have expanded beyond the digital sphere into the real world, where she led a successful grassroots campaign to delay the closure of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California. In 2021, she delivered a TED Talk that has since been viewed nearly 2 million times, explaining why nuclear electricity is our best chance to replace fossil fuels. In recognition of her influence on the global energy conversation, the following year she was named a TIME Magazine Next Generation Leader. Arriving in late summer 2025, RAD FUTURE is Isabelle’s provocative debut: a scientific and unconventional manifesto positioning nuclear electricity as a key solution to the climate emergency.

Rachel Sklar didn’t set out to become the godmother of modern women’s networking — she was just pissed off. Frustrated by the constant erasure of women in media and tech, she did what a lot of smart women do: she wrote an email. But unlike most emails, this one sparked a movement. 

Women have always known how to build in the margins — around systems, despite gatekeepers, and without the credit. Rachel just decided to make it impossible to ignore. Because when women back each other, we don’t just change the conversation. We change the entire game.

Key Takeaways:

• How frustration became fuel for Rachel’s most successful ventures

• The power of introductions, visibility, and building value into your network

• Why representation isn’t a favor — it’s strategy

• The art of saying “no” to unpaid labor and “yes” to building power

• How Rachel’s new podcast Hi, Smart Friend! is spotlighting voices you need to hear
