Do you ever see a successful woman on your feed or in a magazine and think, wow, it must be

nice to have it so easy. Well, think again. Behind that glossy cover or smiling face is a ton of hard work,

countless failures, and endless learning experiences. I'm Rebecca Minkoff and I'm here to tell you

that success isn't a walk in the park. It takes grit, resilience,

and a willingness to take risks. That's why I created Superwoman, a podcast that peels back to

varnish and gets into the nitty gritty of what it takes to make it as a woman in today's world.

From luminaries and game changers to women you've never heard of but should, this podcast is here to inspire you to take your next week, no matter how daunting it may seem.

We'll explore the sacrifices these women have made, the highs and loaves they've experienced, and the lessons they've learned along the way.

So if you're ready to be inspired and learn from some of the most successful women out there. Join me on Superwomen.

Together, we'll uncover the stories behind the successes and prove that with hard work,

determination, and a little bit of luck, anything is possible.

Hey, everyone, you're listening to Superwomen.

Today's guest is Allie Budd, the president and principal designer at Allie Bud Interiors. I am obsessed with Allie's work and she is celebrated for its expertise in turning houses into beloved homes. She leads a passionate team of artists and interior stylists all based in Toronto. Her creative influence

extends globally. She has been recognized in prestigious publications like Vogue and Archdioces,

and she is much sought after. We bonded over children, her incredible work ethic, and how she views

interior design through her lens and the world.

Take a listen.
