This week on Coffee Monday, Rae sits down with Taylor Ellsworth, Founder of Blanc Beauty and a mom of four (with baby number five on the way!), for a conversation that is as inspiring as it is real.

From building a beauty brand rooted in simplicity and convenience to navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, Taylor shares the story behind Blanc and the “aha moment” that sparked it all. She opens up about what it truly looks like to grow a business while growing a family, how motherhood has shaped her leadership, and why creating solutions for busy women became her mission.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to choose between your dreams and your family — you can build both, even if it doesn’t always look perfect.

Plus, Taylor shares what’s next for Blanc Beauty and where you can get your hands on their must-have wipes. So, grab your coffee and join us for a candid conversation on entrepreneurship, motherhood, and doing it all in your own way.
