Hi, everyone. I'm Hilary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who What

Where, and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Celia's career path didn't start in fashion. She actually majored in psychology. While she didn't end up

jobs post-grad, from working retail for luxury brands

like LVMH to recruiting for biotech and pharmaceutical companies. When Celia had her first child,

she stopped working and actually went back to school to study psychology again to get her

master's in mental health. But Celia's real passion was her side project. For years,

she split her time between her studies and building her brand from scratch before officially

launching it in 2013. It was a huge hit, so much so that Prince Louis of the royal family,

son of Prince William and Princess Catherine,

has been spotted wearing the brand.

Over the last 12-plus years, La Coquetta has grown a global community,

and this year, they expanded their presence in the U.S.

with the opening of their new Charleston and Palm Beach stores.

I can't wait for you to hear about her journey.

Now, on Second Life, it's Celia Munoz.

Shall we begin? Yes. So we'd like to start this podcast at the beginning. So what did you study in school? And much more importantly,

what did you think you were going to be when you grew up? I mean, I always wanted to be a war reporter.

What? Or a forensic doctor. And my father wasn't particularly thrilled about that. So,
