Laura sits down with Dani Kagan—mom, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mave & Chez —to dive deep into the real, raw, and inspiring journey of building a business while raising a family. Dani opens up about everything from naming her brand after her grandmothers to the unglamorous (but very real) parts of running a company.
