Save 30% off your annual membership and lock in your rate before it goes in next year! A longtime HR leader sees how unprepared many young adults feel after college and turns that insight into a small business built to guide them through the realities of adulthood. Heather Redisch sits down with Lindsay Pinchuk to share how Adulting 101 Masterclass began, the early uncertainty that came with creating something in a wide-open space, and the small shifts that helped her clarify her offer. She talks about the moments that shaped her growth, the experiments that revealed what students and parents truly needed, and the point where things finally gained momentum once she focused on her core strengths. Heather also reflects on the role community played in her progress. The women in the Dear FoundHer Forum helped her push past discomfort, stay visible, and build confidence as she refined her idea. Their support reshaped how she approaches her work and the young adults she serves.  Her story leaves listeners with a simple question: what becomes possible for your small business when you stay curious, keep learning, and surround yourself with a community that moves with you?

    Maelove: The Secret Behind their Viral Success with Founder, Jackie Kim

    Holiday Special: Join THE networking community for women business owners over forty, The Dear FoundHer... Forum. From now until the end of the year, save 30% on your annual membership and lock in the rate forever.  Jackie Kim shares how a personal obsession with sensitive skin turned into Maelove, a science led skincare brand whose viral vitamin C serum built loyalty before it made headlines. Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, Jackie traces the shift from New York attorney and startup investor to founder, driven by years of dry, reactive skin and frustration with clinical products that either caused irritation or came with a painful price tag.  What do you build when every “solution” stings your face or empties your wallet? Jackie answers that question with Maelove’s approach to extra strength yet gentle formulas, a fully bootstrapped business, deep investment in R&D and long form educational content that customers and dermatologists now treat as a trusted guide. Along the way, she shares advice on knowing your strengths, hiring for your gaps and staying clear on who your skincare brand really serves, and she shows how viral growth can follow when you let the product, the science and your customers do the talking.

    Join us for the Dear FoundHer... Forum Virtual Open House + Networking Event on December 9th. Meet other women business owners, connect, and experience the support you’ve been missing. Sign up through the link in the show notes—it’s free to join us.  Pearl and Rose began as Lisa Schneider’s search for honest conversation about menopause, aging parents, and shifting identity, and has since grown into a small business rooted in real community for women in midlife. Inspired by young moms’ groups and encouraged by Lindsay Pinchuk and the Dear FoundHer Forum, Lisa took her idea from “I wish this existed” to a branded platform with in-person events, resources, and support for women in their forties, fifties, and sixties. In this episode, Lisa shares how she built Pearl and Rose by listening first, starting with a simple dinner party that doubled as a focus group and evolving into ongoing programs on wellness, menopause, fitness, and the sandwich generation. She talks about learning to collaborate, ask for help, and show up face to camera to tell her own breast cancer story, which sparked powerful engagement and gave women language to advocate for themselves.  Lisa shows how the Dear FoundHer community and her cohort have become a daily support system that fuels the growth of her small business and proves that when women build community with intention, everyone involved grows stronger.

    perfectwhitetee: Turning a Closet Staple Into a Business That Scales with Jen Menchaca and Lisa Hickey

    Holiday Special: Join us for the Dear FoundHer... Forum Virtual Open House + Networking Event on December 9th. Meet other women business owners, connect, and experience the support you’ve been missing. Sign up through the link in the show notes—it’s free to join us.  Two fashion insiders walk through how a single white tee became the core of a cult basics brand that now lives in both retail and direct to consumer channels. Lindsay Pinchuk talks with perfectwhitetee co-founders Jen Menchaca and Lisa Hickey about the years they spent in showrooms and retail stores, the gap they saw for reliable year round basics and the way a partnership with a fabric expert let them obsess over fit, fabric and how their pieces actually feel on real women. They describe fit tests on bodies of different ages and sizes and they show how feedback from boutiques and customers turns each tee and sweatshirt into a staple women reorder in multiple colors. When COVID hit, their independent retail partners served as a lifeline as supply chains stalled and boutiques turned to perfectwhitetee for product they could still put in customers’ hands. From there the direct to consumer side grew as shoppers sent DMs that asked for more colors and styles, which pushed Jen and Lisa to build a Shopify site and to treat lifestyle driven ads and email as key tools for connection and loyalty. Again and again they come back to a simple idea. Strong basics and strong businesses start with a clear customer, a clear edge and a community that trusts you in both retail and direct to consumer spaces. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 How Listening To Customers Built A Cult Basics Brand 03:12 Meet perfectwhitetee Founders Jen Menchaca And Lisa Hickey 04:22 From Showroom And Retail Stores To The Perfect White Tee Idea 06:50 Spotting A Gap In Basics And Building A Fabric First Fashion Brand 08:24 What Makes A Perfect White Tee Fit Fabric Community And Confidence 12:44 Launching Right Before COVID And Leaning On Retail Relationships 18:25 Relationships Community And A “No Asshole” Policy For Business Growth 24:23 From Wholesale To Direct To Consumer How Ads And UGC Fueled Demand 33:43 Black Friday Inventory Fail Owning Mistakes And Fixing Operations 41:37 What Is Next For perfectwhitetee Wovens Mens And Deeper Community 43:07 Three Actionable Steps For Women Starting A Product Business Connect with Jen Menchaca and Lisa Hickey: Follow perfectwhitetee on Instagram Links: Subscribe to The FoundHer Files and check out our female founded holiday gift guide!  Follow Dear FoundHer... on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

    See what happens when women founders build together. RSVP and join us for the Dear FoundHer Forum Virtual Open House + Networking Session on December 9th  Growth takes on a new shape when a social media manager realizes her own brand no longer reflects the business she wants to run and chooses to rebuild it with the clarity of a small business owner who is ready to move forward with intention.

She also shares how her role evolved from handling every task herself to offering strategy and coaching in a way that supports clients without stretching her thin. Their conversation explores the reality of building a small team, the relief that comes with delegation, and the steady sense of direction that grows when you surround yourself with a community that understands the challenges of running a business.

Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, she reflects on the investor dynamics that shaped her path, including a moment when she walked away from a term sheet because the relationship didn’t feel right, and she explains why the partners you choose influence every decision that follows.
