From Startup to Sippy Cup: My Life Over the Last Five Years

In this debut episode of The Essential Edit, I’m taking you back to the beginning — to a moment on the couch during lockdown that quietly changed everything. What started as a delayed visa turned into a cascade of life-altering choices: selling my startup, traveling through sun-drenched Italy and France, getting a floppy-eared Labrador, navigating a rocky first trimester, and eventually, becoming a mom.Told with warmth, humor, and honesty, this episode is part memoir, part comfort listen — and proof that even in the messiest seasons, there’s beauty in building a life around what matters most.So grab your coffee and let’s start this story together.Let me know what you think of the show by commenting below on Spotify comments, or reaching out at www.octaviafaith.xyz
