About this episode

What does it truly take to build a thriving career while raising a family? 

In this candid conversation, Heather sits down with Rebecca Minkoff, a globally recognized designer, entrepreneur, and mom of four, to unpack the myths of "having it all." From navigating guilt and redefining ambition to taking risks and leading with authenticity, Rebecca shares the raw realities behind her success.

Listen in as we discuss:

  • Why creating boundaries and delegating is essential for ambitious women
  • The truth about navigating guilt and excitement in motherhood
  • How to redefine "success" to include the things that matter most
  • The importance of embracing the long journey instead of chasing quick wins

Whether you're a working parent, a leader striving to balance work and life, or a creative yearning to reignite your spark, this episode will leave you inspired to embrace your messy, imperfect, and beautifully bold journey.

An industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff's modern bohemian designs are inspired by strong, confident and powerful women who are drawn towards a west-meets-east mentality. Rebecca Minkoff is a global brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry and accessories products.
In September of 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by women who invest in women's financial power across a socio-economic spectrum by enabling and empowering female-owned businesses.
She introduced the RM Superwomen Podcast in 2017 after hosting sold out table talks out of her NYC flagship SoHo boutique. Each week designer, female founder and social activist Rebecca Minkoff talks to women from all walks of life, from CEOs to artists, and shows us what life is like without the pretty filters in order to help you navigate what it means to be vulnerable, how loss can make you stronger, and other ways to make your inner superwoman shine. In an intimate, share-all interview, Rebecca uncovers the many sides of powerful women and learn how they are raising up those around them to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place.
In 2021, Rebecca Minkoff became a best-selling published author and simultaneously entered the world of Web3 as the first American Female Fashion Designer to unveil a collection of branded NFTs timed to NYFW, which sold out in under 8 minutes.
