She loved to dress her little ones in adorable rompers and overalls but was fed up with the tedious buttons and snaps on all of her favorite outfits.
Nicole's second child, Julien in particular protested getting changed, so outfits that could easily go on and off were essential. She struggled to find pieces that were elevated and stylish as well as functional. Nicole couldn’t stop thinking about the concept of functional, high-quality, and stylish baby clothing and decided to bring it to life.

Outside of work, family, fashion, and travel have always been her greatest passions, with Europe serving as her main source of inspiration.
Once Meghan became a mom, she channeled her passion for fashion into childrenswear and often found herself shopping across countless websites to find chic, European-inspired styles to match her own personal style. She and friends felt there was no single destination that offered the specific European aesthetic of polished and practical pieces that transition throughout seasons and take your child from playtime to dinner. She found herself seeking out under-the-radar European brands on her travels and via Instagram, but wanted to shop them all in one place. This led her to dream up a European-inspired, highly curated destination built for a discerning female shopper who wants complete outfits, an intuitive and modern user experience, and a seamless checkout. This woman does not want to be inundated with endless new arrivals and brands; rather, she wants a thoughtfully curated assortment, a pleasant experience, and to walk away with pieces that her children can wear on a daily basis. The Bea Colette customer wants her children's style to complement her own.
Over the past year, Meghan has worked tirelessly to source and refine the right selection of brands, price points, and styles that make Bea Colette what it is today. We are so grateful to have you on the site and welcome your feedback on the brands and styles you'd like to see!

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/supportProper Portraits started like most businesses—creating a thoughtful solution for an unfulfilled need. Anne Caroline and her husband were looking for an affordable portrait option for their son to capture his personality at a young age. While they were (and are!) very interested in commissioning an oil portrait, they knew he was not at the right age to make such an investment. Hence, their portraiture search began, but they never found exactly what they were looking for. Anne Caroline has a background in art and graphic design, so she knew there must be a way to combine digital editing with hand artistry to produce something similar to what we had in mind. After multiple stylistic versions and variations, she and her loved the final result! They then began creating for friends and family, and in 2022 and launched the Proper Portraits website to create for anyone considering a custom and timeless portrait. Their team offers portraits for all ages and seasons of life, as well as your furry friends. While their process will never replace hand-drawn works of art, Proper Portraits is a thoughtful, attainable alternative with a quick turnaround. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support
Jennifer Hunt’s Dogwood Hill is representative of all the ways her products can be enjoyed: a church for weddings and baptisms, a tearoom for social gatherings, a pond for summer celebrations, a town square where shops and entrepreneurs can be found, and homes where parties are planned, rooms are decorated, and holiday cards are addressed. Each detail has been thoughtfully considered with our community in mind.
Dogwood Hill's story began in late 2014 when Jennifer Hunt—a busy mother of two who moonlights as an accountant and an art dealer—waited a touch too long to order her holiday cards. Like many busy women before her, Jennifer found that booking an artist to create the hand-crafted cards she wanted was not a possibility.
She took to the web, but her efforts were futile. No one was delivering online customizable calligraphy and art-driven holiday stationery. That is when the idea sprung for a website where discerning customers could go for cards that were thoughtfully and gorgeously created featuring art by real artists. No need for pricey design fees, lengthy production times or settling for the mass-produced.
With its collective of thirty artists (and growing!) and its team of in-house graphic designers who bring the art to life through thoughtful product design, Dogwood Hill is able to supply products within ten days that are as unique as the intended recipients. With each artist's distinctive style, you’ll find an item to suit your taste.
Artwork is created by hand, the paper is luxurious and, to ensure your photo-based cards feel truly your own, we’ve made it easy to upload photos and personalize messages. No detail is overlooked.
They believe stationery should reflect the sender’s personality and delight the recipient and that is what we strive to deliver through Dogwood Hill: Design-driven cards that inspire.

In a time when so many suffer from isolation and it feels like developing authentic relationships and true belonging is harder than ever, Chris and Julie Bennett invite you into their story to discover why we were meant for togetherness and why it's worth facing any amount of hardship to keep our faith, families, and communities at the center of who we are.
When Chris and Julie and their four kids moved from Norman, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles (which just happened to be one of the most disconnected cities in the United States), they knew they were setting out on a great adventure. They’d be leaving behind the church they had pastored, the comfort of their established community, and the familiarity of their daily routines, but the new city promised to bring some much-needed change.
What they didn't expect was how this adventure—complicated by a cancer diagnosis, a relapse, and a pandemic—would challenge their notions of what it means to care for each other well, both as a biological family and as part of a broader community.
Rebelliously hopeful, the couple will take you on their harrowing journey as they show how family—whether biological, adopted, or chosen—is the greatest risk you'll ever take, the best reward you'll ever gain, and an essential part of what makes us human.

Jordan Soderholm is co-founder and chief growth officer of Ranger Station, an American heritage fragrance brand founded in 2015 with husband Steve Soderholm, and founder of Nashville Candle + Supply, a private label and custom candle manufacturing company established in 2021. A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Jordan came to Nashville in 2009 to study marketing and fashion merchandising at Belmont University. During her sophomore year of studies, Jordan began a full-time position at ABLE, which was then a start-up fashion brand and social enterprise supporting women in Africa through the creation of leather handbags and accessories. She stayed with the company through graduation and for a decade, minus a two-year hiatus as an independent wardrobe stylist, working her way from intern to fashion director and helping to establish the global brand it is today. Along the way, Jordan was watching Steve dabble in candle making while home between gigs as a touring professional drummer. Her keen business sense and entrepreneurial spirit helped recognize the business potential in the hobby and she worked after hours to help Steve get the brand off the ground in 2015. In 2021, she left ABLE to work with Ranger Station full time and to take the brand to the next level. It was then that she also founded Nashville Candle + Supply, a boutique private label and custom candle manufacturing company with clients worldwide. Today, Ranger Station is growing rapidly but thoughtfully. Ranger Station products are available for purchase from retail partners across the United States, Canada and the UK, as well as their flagship store in Nashville’s 12South neighborhood opened in July 2023. Ranger Station also unveiled its first artist collaboration in the summer of 2023 with Noah Kahan, the folk singer/songwriter from New England, to bring to life his third LP, “Stick Season” – a candle that sold out in a record 24 hours with over 1,000 people on the waitlist. Collaborations with ERNEST, The Band Camino, Lauren Akins and Thomas Rhett and NEEDTOBREATHE followed, with others in the works. The brand has been featured in Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Architectural Digest, Cowboys & Indians, Byrdie, WWD, Who What Wear, The Strategist, PEOPLE, Southern Living, Billboard and countless other publications. Aside from Ranger Station, Jordan chases around her two young children with Steve, and enjoys gardening, reading and styling through her Substack “You didn’t ask.” and other endeavors.

Today's guest is Angela Vranich, the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Little Spoon, the leading DTC brand and first end-to-end platform for kid’s nutrition. Today, Angela and her team are responsible for feeding millions of babies and kids each month, which is no small task. But just 6 years ago, Angela and her partner Ben didn’t have any customers - just an idea: to completely reinvent the baby food category, and make it something that parents could feel good about feeding their littles.For me, you, and many of our listeners, the heavily preserved, shelf-stable baby food options we grew up eating were likely canned and jarred before we were even born! Launched in 2018, Little Spoon set out to change that by creating a clean, nutritious and convenient product that would nourish kids and make parents' lives easier - and revolutionize a category that shockingly hadn't changed in almost 100 years. Today, the brand has scaled dramatically to offer food options for kiddos 6-months old to 10-years old, and has created an online community, Is This Normal? with modern advice and support for today’s generation of parents, which reaches nearly 2 million subscribers.Angela is the brain behind the brand and all of the foods you see Little Spoon offer today, working to create options that will appease parents and picky eaters from their first bites through their big kid years.

Designed by Claudia Garrard and handmade by the 38 trusted seamstresses who comprise our sewing room, Lenora's offerings bear an unmistakable, unparalleled mark of quality. The story of Lenora is a special one. It all started with Dina Yang, a pioneering Vietnamese designer whose expertise and superior craftsmanship set the industry standard. Eventually, Claudia took the reins, excited to build and grow the brand to reach an even wider swath of women. Today, she continues to elevate Lenora through new offerings, expanded collections, and ever-strengthening relationships with the legions of women searching for a certain level of care and attention to detail that has become increasingly rare in the nightwear market. For first-time and longtime clients alike, the spark of recognition when they find what they’ve been longing for in Lenora is instant, and an enduring connection is born. After all, we outfit the moments when women are most essentially themselves—the times when they unwind, recharge, sleep, become mothers, nurture family, find refuge, cultivate calm, seek solace, dream dreams… Lenora is a tribute to personal well-being through quality, comfort, and a bit of permissive indulgence. Stitch by stitch, yard by precious yard, Lenora shapes the wardrobe for life’s most unguarded and intimate moments. That requires trust. And care. And a commitment to service and excellence in an industry that often prizes profit above people. We never confuse the two. From Lenora’s sewing room to our clients’ closets, our mission is to lift up and support all of the women in our orbit. FOLLOW EMILY ON INSTAGRAM HERE. FOLLOW HSDT ON INSTAGRAM HERE.

After a perilous 12 days on a boat and another six months at a refugee camp, the family ultimately settled in Fresno, California, sponsored by an uncle who had fought for the South Vietnamese.

Today's guest is Sophie von Oertzen, the founder of Sophie Williamson Design. Throughout her childhood, Sophie witnessed numerous scenes of Gastfreundschaft at joyful dinner parties with her parents’ friends, family holiday gatherings, and society events. And it’s those memories of listening in on the buzz of conversations and raucous laughter shared at parties and over candlelit dinners that she’s on a quest to emulate today. For Sophie, making a house a welcoming home isn’t about following the latest design trends or subscribing to fashion norms. It’s about challenging the status quo and letting your own authentic style shine—an aesthetic that signals to guests that they can do the same. It’s in the warm lighting diffused through a beautiful lampshade or an intricately set table adorned in vibrant colors that welcomes every diner. It’s in the details, the tasteful trim of a pillow or the delicate pattern of a napkin, that shows a guest you care enough about them enough to share your very best. We know listeners will love listening to (and shopping) Sophie’s story! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support

Katie Davis is a Houston-based interior designer focused on all aspects of residential design. She takes a practical approach to her work, emphasizing the idea that a home should be truly lived in above all else. Her portfolio is filled with stylish spaces that nod to a new-traditional aesthetic while maintaining a sense of modernity and an eye for today’s trends. Katie’s appreciation for design started from a young age, when her family undertook a major remodel of the home. She observed her mom and an interior designer work together to develop, coordinate, and implement a shared vision for her family’s home—an imaginative and collaborative process that still resonates with her today. And so began her love affair with beautiful spaces, and quality furniture, fabrics, and materials. Life, however, took Katie in a different direction. Upon graduating from the University of Texas, she went on to attend law school. During her years as a practicing attorney, design remained a favorite hobby, until she fully embraced her second life, and her first love, launching Katie Davis Design in 2018. She currently resides in Houston, with her husband and two young kids. Her own growing family serves as the foundation for her designs, creating beautiful, vibrant living spaces that are comfortable, timeless, and can transition easily to the next phase of a client’s life. Katie Davis Design has been published in numerous publications including Southern Living, House Beautiful, Luxe Interiors + Design, Domino, This Old House, Modern Luxury Interiors Texas, Houston Chronicle, Real Simple, and Homes & Gardens. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support

BIOLYTE was created and now provides the medical benefits of an IV bag to many, helping them feel better no matter what they are facing.

Today's guest is the CEO of Mg Biologics, Sarah Meyer Thompson. Sarah's father, Mark Meyer, started Mg Biologics in 1999. It was here at Mg where she learned about antibodies, performed research trials, and launched new products for the equine neonatal industry.
Mark remains involved with Mg as Chairman of the Board, however, he has passed the CEO reigns (horse pun intended) to Sarah. She is honored to be leading Mg Biologics as they press forward.
Their products are focused on how to benefit your animal’s health, from neonatal to critical care needs. This includes plasma, IgG, antibody products, and antivenom for equine and canine. They believe (and research shows) that antibodies (and antivenom) are beneficial in reducing the duration and severity of a disease or in arresting the disease entirely. More importantly, Mg proudly continues in the spirit that Mark founded nearly 20 years ago: “Of the principles that we hold most dear, we consider customer service to be especially satisfying. Even to say it more clearly; sometimes when things don’t go right (because sometimes they don’t) we make an extra effort to see that the customer is taken care of. We are fanatical, intense, wound-tight, and high-strung on this point.”

Today we welcome Emily back to the mic as we kick off Season Four!
We are thrilled to share that today's guest is Caitlin Osborne, Founder of Becco Bags. Founded in 2021 by this mother of four, Becco Bags was created after a craft project went awry at her daughter’s sixth birthday party. The failed attempt to decorate bags using items backed with velcro dots inspired Caitlin to search for a better way to personalize accessories with interchangeable patches.
Caitlin came across a loop fabric commonly used in the medical field that proved both soft to the touch and strong enough to securely hold a patch. She worked through several prototypes, filed a patent, and Becco Bags was born! A natural entrepreneur, Caitlin leads design and drives brand growth, brokering wholesale partnerships with Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Harrods, Le Bon Marche, and the Chalhoub Group.

Today's guest is Abstract Artist, Laura Deems, of Birmingham, Alabama.
Laura’s formal training is in dying fabrics, color theory, weaving, and screen-printing. The foundation of her artistic practice is derived from these methods and is where her tools come into play. Mixing materials, colors, and techniques define Laura's strong visual language. Her signature overlay marks were born out of techniques used in the screen printing process. Each tool she uses works to create a loose interpretation of a pattern. In short, she is “freeing” the motif from the repeat.
We know listeners will love getting to know Laura a bit more in today's episode. We hope you love the episode and if you do, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star review on iTunes. It means the world to us! Enjoy!

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/supportToday's guest, Eleanor Scott Davis is an abstract expressionist painter based in Raleigh, North Carolina. She attended Wake Forest University where she studied English and Studio Art. She went on to earn a Masters of Fine Art in Creative Writing with a concentration in poetry. While the written word remains a passion, Eleanor Scott ultimately chose to forgo the pen for a paintbrush. She is attracted to abstract art because, like poetry, it leaves the door open for individual interpretation.
Eleanor Scott considers her artistic process to be directly linked to her role as a mother. Joining her in her bright studio, you will often find one (or all three!) of her daughters. She is frequently pulled away mid-brushstroke by the needs of her children and has come to value these moments of distraction as a tool that strengthens her art, forcing her to step away, evaluate and return with fresh eyes. The result is a deeply-layered, richly-textured, and multidimensional use of color. She considers her work a chronicle of motherhood: a balance of energy, chaos, unpredictability, and pure joy.
Eleanor Scott’s paintings have been featured in numerous publications and can be found in homes and corporate collections across the United States. We know listeners will love hearing her story!

Jane decided to create a collection made up of 8 amulets symbolizing an abundance of positivity, strength, hope, and luck. When she started researching this gorgeous antique coin jewelry, she realized that wealth is not shown in money, cars, or fancy homes…wealth comes from life experiences both good and bad. Jane and her team take great care to work with the first American craftsmen to cast high-quality pendants that we then plate in 14k gold with ‘the best in the business’. Last but not least, customers love their attention to detail. They package each piece in a beautifully printed box and are invested in delivering something special to every customer. It truly all comes from a LOVE of what they do and want to connect with those who wear their jewelry. Listeners will fall in love with Jane on today's Valentine's Day episode! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support

Today's guests, Leah Melby Clinton, and Hannah Weil McKinley are the ladies behind In Kind Magazine. In Kind is an independent, biannual magazine focused on capturing the conversations modern women are having as they navigate motherhood, career, and personal style. It's slow, conscious content dedicated to exploring the good life.
When they couldn't find the content they wanted to read as they advanced in their careers, started families, and began wondering how to balance all of it, Leah and Hannah decided to create it themselves. The women they know live insanely multi-faceted lives, equal parts mother and friend and partner and careerist. She is passionate and curious, driven by a fierce ambition in all aspects of her life, and unwilling to give up the pursuits that make her who she is as an individual.
Leah Melby Clinton, Editor and Founder is a writer, an editor, a wife, a sister, a friend—and a mother. Her entire career has been spent in media (and she still works in fashion today), yet through all of her reporting and interviewing and musing, she began to feel like something was missing as she settled into her 30s, had her first child, and started to yearn for something slower; more traditional, yet not traditional. Suspicious that there were others out there like her—women who were pulled in different directions by wanting to focus on themselves and their families simultaneously— she decided to formalize the conversations she'd been having with people, collecting them in a place that would arrive, physically, in your mailbox.
Hannah Weil McKinley, Founding Editor isa storyteller who's always been innately interested in style. That’s where her day job has taken her for over a decade in fashion media. But after the birth of her first daughter in 2018, she found she was compelled to share more candidly—about motherhood, about womanhood, and about the things that go along with it.
It’s that connection that makes In Kind so special, a curation of creatives and their stories that bring us all a little closer while acknowledging the many complicated, beautiful parts of being a woman navigating motherhood and the life she wants with it.

Each element is hand-painted in watercolors for 100% authentic originality. Their watercolor storytelling on silk and paper is inspired by travel, nature, the garden, and imagination.

Today's guests are identical twin sisters, Beth Dye and Kate Hawken. The founders of Maxwell and Geraldine are living on opposite coasts of the U.S. and love to talk every day - especially while brainstorming the perfect dress. A few years ago, Beth and Kate started dreaming about making chic, beautiful dresses that were missing from their closets. You know those hard-to-find, easy-to-wear styles that add instant polish? When you find one, it’s like winning the wardrobe lottery. You hold on to it for years and reach for it again and again. They wanted more of them, and they thought we might too. The ladies started with a secret weapon -- stretch smocking -- which flatters every figure. The forgiving, gathered fabric sits on top of your skin and smooths your curves for a perfect fit. They sourced 100% opaque cotton for a crisp look and designed each dress with a pop of color to add some joy to your wardrobe. In this episode, you'll hear about the early years of their careers and how all things Maxwell and Geraldine came to be!

Welcome to our 'Summer Nights' Series sponsored by Liza Pruitt! We have loved sharing some of Liza's favorite artist's summer memories throughout the month of August and how those moments inspire the art they create now! This week our group show went LIVE on LizaPruitt.com!
Today's guest, Brooke Lancaster is a Georgia-based fine artist. Brooke made the decision to pursue painting full-time in March 2020. It has given her the freedom to spend more time with her family as well as create when inspiration strikes.

The infinite possibilities of clothing and memorable items give her a sense of nostalgia and the process of hanging clothes to dry reminds Brooke that there are no limits to what tomorrow may bring when painting artwork. In a studio that is a constant mess, Brooke enjoys bringing order to her canvases. She finds peace and purpose in the balance.

Caroline’s original wedding day was set for Spring 2020 at Round Hill in Jamaica. Marisa was her go-to in terms of asking for fun & creative ideas for the wedding weekend as Marisa is a notorious party-thrower. Because of the pandemic the wedding was postponed, and to make up for the wedding weekend Marisa and her husband had Caroline and her fiancé over for dinner. To Caroline’s surprise, the dinner was a recreation of her Welcome Party inspired by The Ivy with a Jamaican twist, and Marisa nailed it.
From there, the wine was flowing and Marisa explained the idea of somehow delivering tablescapes to people’s homes. They started spit-firing ideas, and with Caroline’s business savviness the concept became a reality. Both of them were determined to bring happiness to people’s tables nationwide. Voilà Casamia!

Christina is the founder of her namesake Christina Greene jewelry collection, who was drawn to fashion and jewelry-making long before the company’s start in 2011. From a young age in Houston, TX, she had an eye for arranging and styling everything from outfits and accessories to furniture. For Christina, jewelry-making was a hobby that she loved, and she never imagined that her passion could launch into what it is today. A Texan through and through, Christina knew there was only one place she’d want to headquarter her growing jewelry business. After a season of living in New York City while attending Parsons School of Design and then working in Manhattan, she moved back to Houston to start her brand.
Since its launch, Christina Greene jewelry has been featured by national and local media outlets including PopSugar, the Today Show, The Houston Chronicle, and more. The brand also is very active in charitable endeavors. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, American Lung Association, and Houston SPCA are particularly near and dear to Christina’s heart.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/supportOn today's episode, host Emily Landers welcomes Addison Bay founder, Marguerite Adzick, onto the show!
Addison Bay was founded after Marguerite's passion for fitness as a collegiate athlete merged with her successful career in the fashion industry. Recognizing a need in the industry for a single, quality platform with functional and stylish activewear, Addison Bay launched in September of 2018.
Marguerite resigned from a job she loved – at six months pregnant! – to start Addison Bay, with the idea that fashion-forward activewear was here to stay. The problem she was trying to solve? Finding activewear that was polished yet comfortable. “I wanted to have one look take me from school drop off, straight into the office, on to drinks with my husband, and home with our kids. Creating this one-stop-shop was the solution all busy, on-the-go women needed, including myself.”

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/supportOn today's episode of How'd She Do That?, host Emily Landers welcomes Kate Stice Stewart, Founder of Bauble Stockings onto the podcast! Growing up, Kate's mom always received the last gift of Christmas as a thank you for all she'd done that year, and it, or a clue to it, was found in her needlepoint stocking that hung on their tree. Kate's dad called it her "Bauble Stocking" because on a good year it was a bauble, a piece of jewelry. The tradition of brainstorming for this gift with Kate's dad and older brothers was always her favorite part of Christmas and seeing her mom's face was an added bonus! Once engaged to be married, Kate asked her now-husband, Peter, "So when do I get my Bauble Stocking?" and he said, "Your what?" From that point on Kate knew she had a task ahead of her - sharing the tradition of Bauble Stockings with the world! Each stocking is 100% hand-stitched and finished. In 2018, Bauble Stockings moved their production to a community of single moms in Haiti with the organization, Good Threads Needlepoint.

Morgan started BURU after becoming a mother for the first time and quickly discovered that her wardrobe needed a refresh. She scoured online shops, high-end boutiques, and big box stores for wardrobe essentials that offered easy access in washable fabrics, with little success. So, with the help of her husband and now full-time business partner, Brett, Morgan put her former styling and lingerie designer experience to use as they founded BURU.
Through several evolutions, the company has hit its stride with Morgan exclusively designing every collection with moms and working women in mind. And while 50% of the production remains overseas to offer an attainable price point, 50% is now produced in BURU's very own Los Angeles micro-factory that Morgan and Brett built one sewing machine at a time. (See more about BURU's factory and responsible manufacturing initiative here.)
You'll love hearing more about Morgan's story, from living overseas to becoming a mother, to her many different collaborations including one with actress, Brooklyn Decker, and more! We hope you'll share this episode with - well - everyone!

A few years ago, one of Julie's children was diagnosed with a speech disorder coupled with severe anxiety and her doctor recommended incorporating more sensory play opportunities into their daily routine. Julie got to work and began reading and researching ways she could help her family. She started making play dough and assembling sensory bins and saw first-hand how sensory experiences helped calm her child's frustrations.
In 2017 she started Young, Wild & Friedman as a blog to help other parents integrate sensory play into the lives of their own children. Julie's story is heartwarming, informative, and encouraging! What started as a small family project can now be found in the homes of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Joanna Gaines, and Cameran Eubanks to name a few!
