INTRO TIME!
This one’s extra special, ladies.
After 152 episodes, my daughter Ayzli finally said yes to coming on the podcast! At 15 years old, she’s a Junior in high school, a future cosmetologist, and one of the most important people in my life. We sat down in the new studio for a candid conversation about growing up with an entrepreneurial mama, building authentic mother–daughter connections, and the lessons we’ve both learned along the way.
You’ll hear us swap stories, laugh about our quirks (yes, there’s Snapchat filter talk), dream about the future, and get real about the challenges teenagers face today—especially around social media, friendships, and mental health.
Whether you’re a mom, a business owner, or both, this conversation will give you fresh insight into what it’s like to raise kids while chasing big dreams—and how to involve them in the ride.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
