Desi Perkins on Identity, Motherhood & Building an Empire

In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with the one and only Desi Perkins! We talk about what it really takes to go from content creator to CEO, navigating imposter syndrome, letting go of perfectionism, and reclaiming joy through things as simple (and sacred) as gardening. She shares untold stories about infertility, leaving major brand deals behind, and the identity shift that comes with motherhood.

This conversation is about so much more than just beauty or business—it’s about resilience, reinvention, and choosing passion even when fear is in the room. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be more, do more, or explain yourself… this one’s for you!
