What does it really take to build a global brand while staying true to yourself? In this episode of Everyday Rockstars, I sit down with fashion entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder Rebecca Minkoff for an honest conversation about courage, creativity, resilience, and what it means to keep showing up, even when things don’t go as planned. Rebecca shares the mindset that has carried her through incredible growth, difficult setbacks, and the constant evolution of building a business. We talk about getting comfortable with failure, trusting your instincts, tuning out comparison, and the surprising truth about what so many female founders think they need to succeed. Listen to the end! We also discuss the amazing work she’s doing through the Female Founder Collective, where she’s helping female entrepreneurs build thriving businesses through connection, education, and community. I love that she’s such a girl’s girl. She genuinely wants to see us all thrive! Gorgeous bags aside, I really became a superfan once I read her book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success. It’s refreshingly honest. Like honest honest. She shares not only the victories, but also the big mistakes, pivots, and personal lessons that shaped her, including things about motherhood, health, hormones, confidence, and learning to make herself a priority. The book is a reminder to me- it ain’t always easy, but your dreams are worth it. YOU are worth it. What struck me most was how accessible she is. We spoke as if we knew each other forever. I also love how she leads with honesty, humility, and a willingness to keep learning, qualities that make her as badass as the brand she’s built. Stay until the end to hear what Becky believes keeps her in rockstar mode (yes, she said I could call her that)! ;) Whether you’re building a business, navigating a career, or simply looking for the courage to take your next step, this conversation is filled with wisdom you’ll want to come back to again and again.
