Project Paulie Founder Nicky Bandera on Feeding Each Other – Not Doing It All

Nicky Bandera built a mission-driven brand out of her kitchen in the middle of a pandemic to set an example for her young daughter and hasn’t stopped opening doors since. In this episode, the founder of Project Paulie gets real about invisible labor, pandemic pivots, and the myth of doing it all – and shares how motherhood turned her passion into a purpose-driven movement.

You’ll hear:

🤯 Why she went back to work nights just 3 weeks postpartum

👀 The invisible labor we carry (and sometimes don’t even see ourselves)

💥 The problem with pretending we did it all alone

🔥 Why she fights gatekeeping — and trusts the pull of a big idea

🧡 What it really means to feed each other
