When Motherhood Reshapes Ambition
Summary
What happens when the transition to motherhood doesn't just change your daily life, but completely redefines your life’s work?
In this episode of Matrescence in Wellness, host Brittany sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder and CEO of Green Goo and Ova Moon. Jodi shares how a simple cut while pregnant led her to examine her first-aid cabinet, sparking a revolution in plant-based, whole-plant skincare alongside her sister (an herbalist and midwife) and her mother.
Together, Brittany and Jodi dive deep into the messy, beautiful intersection of business, family dynamics, and matrescence. From growing a brand from farmers’ markets to national retail shelves like Target and CVS, to unlearning the "fight-or-flight" mentality of modern ambition, this conversation is an invitation to slow down and trust the season you are in.
