    The Different Stages of Motherhood as Founders

    Welcome back to The Final Edit, the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like. In this real and raw episode, Hannah and Maritza crack open one of the most honest convos yet: building billion-dollar visions while raising babies. From toddler meltdowns and sleepless nights to teenage driving lessons and identity resets, this episode dives deep into the stages of motherhood and how they evolve alongside your ambition, your business, and your sense of self. They talk burnout, guilt, boundaries, discipline (with a rebrand), and why doing both isn’t about balance. It’s about alignment. If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between being present and being powerful, this episode is your permission to stop choosing. You get to be both. _____ 🎧 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00:00] Why sourdough culture isn’t the only model of motherhood [00:02:52] Ambition, identity shifts, and rediscovering purpose post-baby [00:08:56] Navigating seasons: toddlers vs. teens [00:10:07] Building billion-dollar visions while physically and emotionally tapped [00:12:33] The guilt trap of modern motherhood [00:15:05] Community, support, and rewriting the motherhood narrative ⸻ 📚 RESOURCES 📚 Maison Network: joinmaison.com Apply to Join: joinmaison.com/application Upcoming Events: joinmaison.com/all-events ⸻ 📲 CONNECT WITH US 📲 Follow Maritza: @_maritzatobon Follow Hannah: @hannahmnieves Follow Maison: @joinmaison ⸻ Subscribe for more conversations that pull back the curtain on building something real.

    Intuition to Innovation: Lyrik Fryer on Building Tech and a 7-Figure Brand with Her Mom

    Welcome back to The Final Edit, the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like. In this wildly energizing episode, we sat down with Lyrik Fryer, serial entrepreneur, systems queen, and visual brand disruptor, for a convo that’s equal parts business blueprint and creative liberation. Lyrik’s story is anything but traditional. From homeschooling herself in high school to scaling four businesses with her mom (yes, her mom), she’s built a full-blown ecosystem of brands rooted in innovation, ease, and aesthetic. Workplay Branding. Gloss Up. A million ideas in the vault. She’s proof you don’t need a 5-year plan to build something powerful—you just need vision, flow, and the guts to go first. We talked building brands that don’t burn you out, how to launch multiple ventures without losing your mind, and why “discipline” might just need a rebrand. This one’s for the founders who feel too big for one box and are ready to own that. If you’ve ever wanted to scale without the pressure, embrace creative chaos, and make your brand feel like you, this episode is your permission slip. ⸻ 🎧 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 🎧 [00:00:00] Lyrik’s self-taught path from blogs to billion-dollar rooms [00:08:32] Building multiple brands (and doing it with her mom) [00:14:33] Systems, scaling, and lazy marketing [00:22:35] Creating pattern interrupts with personal branding [00:27:17] The vision (and brilliance) behind Gloss Up [00:30:45] Why not having a 5-year plan is the strategy [00:43:21] Redefining discipline and alignment ⸻ 📚 RESOURCES 📚 Maison Network: https://joinmaison.com/ Apply to Join: https://joinmaison.com/application Upcoming Events: https://joinmaison.com/all-events ⸻ 📲 CONNECT WITH US 📲 Follow Maritza: @_maritzatobon Follow Hannah: @hannahmnieves Follow Maison: @joinmaison Follow Lyrik: @lyrik.fryer Follow Workplay Branding: @workplaybranding Follow Gloss Up: @joinglossup Subscribe for more episodes and meet us inside the vision

We talk about the inner wars no one sees, the power of stillness, and what it really means to scale while honoring both your ambition and your softness. From six companies to six-figure deals to sitting still long enough to hear God’s next move, this is the behind-the-scenes most founders never share.

In this soul-shifting live episode, we sat down with Marta Hobbs, mentor, entrepreneur, and embodiment queen, for a conversation that cracked us open in the best way.

    The Beauty of Belonging: Building a Global Brand and Breaking Every Rule with Samreen Arshad

    Welcome back to The Final Edit—the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like. In this bold and heartfelt episode, we sat down with Samreen Arshad—founder, immigrant, and beauty industry disruptor—for a conversation that’s part masterclass, part movement. From teaching herself makeup on YouTube during postpartum depression to landing on QVC, Costco, and Harper’s Bazaar, Samreen’s story is anything but linear. She’s built a multi-six-figure cosmetics brand from scratch, turned down Shark Tank, and paused it all to build something deeper: a brand rooted in culture, confidence, and community. We talked rejection, reinvention, and raising capital when nobody in the room looks like you. But more than that? We talked about what it means to belong—and why creating space for your story might just be the most powerful thing you do. This episode is for the underdogs, the visionaries, and the women building empires the world’s not ready for (yet). 🌍💋 ⸻ 🎧 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 🎧 [00:00:00] Samreen’s origin story—from Pakistan to powerhouse [00:07:45] Finding makeup during postpartum and self-healing [00:13:55] From being rejected at Sephora to building her own brand [00:17:30] The vision behind her rebrand and global scale [00:26:10] Navigating funding rooms as a South Asian woman [00:32:30] “I didn’t come this far just to come this far.” ⸻ 📚 RESOURCES 📚 Maison Network: https://joinmaison.com/ Apply to Join: https://joinmaison.com/application Upcoming Events: https://joinmaison.com/all-events ⸻ 📲 CONNECT WITH US 📲 Follow Maritza: @_maritzatobon Follow Hannah: @hannahmnieves Follow Maison: @joinmaison Subscribe for more episodes—and meet us inside the vision.
