Allyse Jackson: How This Meal Prep CEO Redefines Work for Women Everywhere

What happens when a mom of four decides to build a business her way?
For Allyse Jackson, Founder & CEO of Beehive Meals, it meant creating a business that honors family, offers flexibility, and highlights the brilliance of women who’ve been told traditional work schedules are the only way to succeed.

During this episode of Silicon Slopes Friday Conversations, Allyse and guest host Lindsey Ivie, co-Founder of Ivie League, discuss how Allyse and her husband built one of Utah’s fastest-growing food brands by doing the opposite of what most startup playbooks preach.

This conversation goes far deeper than entrepreneurship. It’s about:

–Creating real opportunities for women—especially moms—who need flexibility, not judgment

–Turning late-night label printing into leadership roles

–Building a workplace where growth comes from trust, not titles

–Offering full 12-week paid maternity and real paternity leave—because family comes first

–Scaling a business while protecting your marriage, your mental health, and your “why”

–Using food not just to feed families, but to heal communities—foster families, teachers, and people in crisis

–How “We’ll figure it out” became the mantra behind a multi-million-dollar brand

Allyse shares the real stories—mom-shift schedules, employees rising from entry-level to executive roles, a husband who quit his job to support the dream, the messy moments of working with your spouse, and the emotional encounters with customers who say Beehive Meals made them feel like a good mom again.
