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.

This week on Coffee Monday, Rae is joined by Nicole Eachus, content creator and CEO of Eachus Estate (iykyk), for a thoughtful, real conversation about intentional living in a season where titles don’t always tell the full story.

Together, they unpack what intentional actually looks like while navigating motherhood, creativity, partnership, friendship and work, including an honest conversation around reframing the label “stay-at-home mom,” and why it often fails to capture the mental load, ambition, and behind-the-scenes work so many women are carrying.

Rae and Nicole also reflect on the vision boards they created together in 2025 - what manifested, what didn’t, what surprised them, and the energy they’re bringing into 2026.

The conversation wraps the only way it could, they’ve got kids to pick up! So pour a cup of coffee (or reheat it again) and press play for that mid-morning reset you didn’t know you needed.
