Luna Aziz is the founder and CEO of Legendairy Milk, a wellness brand known for its lactation support and holistic products for women navigating motherhood and beyond.
But Legendairy Milk didn’t start as a business. It started with Luna as a new mom struggling with chronic low milk supply and asking one question no one could answer: why? So she did the unglamorous work herself. She researched what women across cultures had used for centuries, ground herbs in her kitchen with a coffee grinder, filled capsules by hand using a pill machine from eBay, and tested everything on herself. With just $750 and a newborn, she opened a tiny Etsy shop, expecting maybe one order a month, until a single Facebook post brought in 50 orders overnight and she turned her hobby into a business then.
In this episode, Luna shares how curiosity became her unfair advantage, taking her from postpartum survival mode to building a multimillion-dollar, education-first brand now sold at Target, Walmart, and Amazon. We talk about bootstrapping, finding the right manufacturing partners, growing without outside capital, and the burnout that taught her to build a team and protect her health. If you’re waiting to feel ready before you start, Luna’s story is a powerful reminder that curiosity and resourcefulness matter far more than having it all figured out.
