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 the

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 leap, 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 Tegan Gerard, a very good friend and the creator of Half Bake Harvest, the incredible food blog that turned into the best-selling cookbooks known and loved around the world. I personally came to know of her during COVID when I wanted to make literally everything she put on her Instagram. Cut to several years later, I'm happy to call

her my friend. We talk about the hard work it takes to stay creative, especially in an overly

and ever-growing space and how she decided to really branch out and pivot away from just cooking

into a full lifestyle brand. Take a listen. Tegan, hello. I'm so excited you're here. I'm so excited to be here. Thanks for having me. Finally, I feel like I've been a listener to the podcast forever and we've known each other for so long. I know. Taylor was asking me, when did we meet? And I was like, well, it was a long, long time ago and I was honored that you even knew who I was. But where did we meet? You know what? I couldn't believe you knew who I was. That's the funny thing. You came to one of my book events. At Sacks? No. It was at like a restaurant here in the city. In New York, it was, I'm blanking on the name of the spot. But really cute spot.

It was like, in the summer, it was so, you know what it was? It was an L-A-Miss beauty launch. That's right. No, we met before then. We did. I don't know. It was, it was pre-COVID. I remember just like thinking that's so nice of you to come. I'm like, what does she, like, what does she care about me for? I'm obsessed with you.

Oh, well, you're the sweetest.

I mean, especially when I'm obsessed with you. Oh, well, you're the sweetest.

I mean, especially when I need some good recipes, but also, I know this sounds crazy. Some, when I do, like, these cleansing fasts. Yeah. I have to look at food, like food porn when I'm fasting. Oh, that's torture. I know. Why would you do that? I don't know.

That's like a little weird thing I feel.

I've been doing it for a long time.

I've been fasting four times a year. That's torture. I know. Why would you do that? I don't know. It's just, it's just, that's like a little weird thing I feel.

I've been doing it for a long time.
