Trusted advocate for women's health, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, explains PCOS/PMOS, endometriosis, infertility, breast cancer risk, GLP-1s and why women’s health symptoms are still being missed! “You’re fine.” “It’s normal.” “It’s probably stress.” That is what women are told when pain, irregular periods, and fertility struggles start quietly taking over their lives… Dr. Aliabadi breaks down the conditions women are most often dismissed for, explains what is actually happening in the body, and empowers women to ask better questions when something still does not feel right. She also shares the breast cancer risk information every woman should know, what GLP-1s may mean for hormonal health, and why she founded Ovii to help women connect the dots between their hormones, metabolism, mood, energy and overall wellbeing. ------------------------ Disclaimer: This episode discusses women’s health topics, including fertility, medical screening, and treatment options.

Model, presenter and YSE Beauty founder, Molly Sims, joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk Sports Illustrated, freezing embryos, prenups, anti-aging, and why women should never settle for less than the life they actually want. Molly shares her journey from Vanderbilt pre-law student to 90s model, taking every job she could while being told she was too commercial, too blonde and not “editorial” enough. After years of showing up, she went on to land Vogue Paris, Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated - proving that sometimes the “no” is just the beginning of the next “yes”! Molly also opens up about the fertility decision she made before it was mainstream, the money lessons her mother taught her, and why she built YSE Beauty for women who wanted clinical skincare that actually worked without making them feel old.

Wedding dress designer Hayley Paige sits down with Maggie Sellers Reum to talk about contributing to a $220M bridal brand, that challenged her identity, and her fight to win back the right to use her own name! Before Hayley became one of bridal fashion’s most recognisable names, she was a young designer signing what looked like her dream contract. Years later, that same opportunity turned into a legal battle that left her unable to use her own name commercially, forced her to hand over her social media passwords, and stripped her of the identity she had spent years building. Hayley opens up about the contract mistake she wishes more women understood, why she paid $263,000 to buy back her name and IP, and how money gave her the freedom to escape one of the hardest chapters of her life! They also get into modern wedding trends, Gen Z brides, Vogue weddings, coloured dresses, Taylor Swift’s dream dress, and the Bad Bunny Super Bowl bride moment.

Tezza Barton joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk about building the TEZZA app, Instagram photo editing, creator culture, and turning a launch she nearly deleted into a $2.5M first year win! Before Tezza became the app every cool girl, creator and brand had on their phone, she was selling Lightroom presets, building failed businesses with her husband, and trying to move out of their 250-square-foot apartment… Tezza tells Maggie about the brutal app launch, the reviews that made her want to delete it all, and the pivot that turned the backlash into a real business. They also get into Tezza’s rules for the perfect Instagram photo, what makes a photo dump actually work, and how her obsession with taste turned the TEZZA app into something bigger than her personal brand.

Sabrina Zohar breaks down what’s really driving modern dating, from the pressure for instant certainty to anxious attachment, avoidance, and burnout. She explores how trauma shapes attraction, why great chemistry (or sex on the first date) doesn’t equal compatibility, and how modern dating dynamics can dysregulate the nervous system. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and her own journey from heartbreak to building a multi-million-dollar business featured on Shark Tank, Sabrina shares practical tools for setting boundaries, trusting yourself, and dating with intention - without losing your ambition.

Valeria Lipovetsky signed a prenup at 21 and navigated an 18-year age-gap marriage. She reveals how she turned her real-life story into content, building a media empire reaching over 150M people each month. Maggie and Valeria explore how early conversations around marriage, money, and independence shaped the way Valeria built her career - and ultimately led to the creation of Creator Method, her framework for helping creators turn content into sustainable businesses. Valeria breaks down what successful creators do differently to last long-term: using vulnerability with intention, navigating public judgement, and growing with the support of their community. She also reflects on how failure, missteps, and knowing when to pivot played a key role in everything she’s built.

Jaclyn Johnson built her company, Create & Cultivate, from nothing - and later sold it for a $22 million exit! But life changed completely when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025. The success she worked for left her burned out, depressed, and forced to start over. What followed was a total reset. Divorce. Moving cities alone. Hiring a dating coach. Rebuilding her identity at 40… Today, Jaclyn has successfully bought her original business back, has launched 2 more and continues her work as a longtime angel investor, having backed and championed female founders throughout her career. She reveals how she spots winning startups, why staying bootstrapped was her biggest business mistake, and how money changed the way people treated her. Jaclyn Discusses: Your Body Keeps the Receipts: How her breast cancer diagnosis made her realise health is her real wealth and what she wishes she’d understood earlier. Reinventing Yourself: How she rebuilt her identity at 40 and how you can do the same when the life you’ve built no longer fits.

What engagement rings are actually worth investing in through 2026? And is lab-grown worth it? Ring Concierge founder Nicole Wegman - who built a $100M+ jewelry brand with diamonds - joins Maggie to break down the trends shaping engagement rings right now, the lab-grown vs natural diamond debate, and why “engagement season” creates so much pressure. She also shares the real founder story behind Ring Concierge: starting with $2,000, bootstrapping to $100M+ in sales, and what it takes to scale from scrappy entrepreneur to CEO without losing the aesthetic, the community, or yourself. We also talk about the unspoken side of success - how money and reputation can change the people around you - and why Nicole built a nine-figure business without outside investment by designing around what women actually want: clarity, taste, trust, and a brand that feels like you. ⸻ Timestamps(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:50) Why Engagement Season Feels So Intense(00:02:43) The Social Media Ring Pressure Nobody Admits(00:04:30) Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez & The New Ring Trends(00:06:12) Designer vs CEO: What Nicole Calls Herself(00:07:30) The Most Expensive Rings I’ve Ever Sold(00:08:14) The Ring Styles That Hold Their Value(00:08:34) Lab-Grown vs “Real” Diamonds: The Truth(00:11:36) The Real Average Cost of an Engagement Ring(00:12:28) How De Beers Shaped “Real” Diamonds(00:13:48) Engagement Rings Are Status Symbols (Let’s Be Honest)(00:14:31) How To Tell Your Partner You Want A Different Ring(00:15:46) Starting Ring Concierge In The Diamond District(00:17:05) Entering A High-Cost Industry Without Big Money(00:18:11) How Nicole Turned $2,000 Into $100M+(00:19:18) Building 1M Followers On A Luxury Brand Account(00:21:09) Why I Didn’t Build A Personal Brand Until Now(00:23:00) Personal Brand: Honest, Unfiltered, And A Working Mum(00:24:17) How To Stay “Luxury” While Showing Real Life(00:25:18) Why You Should Test New Opportunities(00:26:30) Who Ring Concierge Is Really For (And Why It Works)(00:27:24) Beehiiv Ad Read(00:28:46) Influencer ROI: How We Choose Who To Work With(00:31:07) Why I Shared $100M Revenue (And What It Changed)(00:33:46) Bootstrapping & Why I Didn’t Raise Money(00:35:06) The Sacrifices No One Talks About (Including Kids)(00:35:59) The Real Advice: Hard Work, Luck, And Timing(00:37:06) Two Entrepreneurs, One Marriage: How We Make It Work(00:39:05) People Treated Me Differently After $100M Went Public(00:41:42) Taking Investment: Why Webster Capital Made Sense(00:43:15) When Men Started Treating Me Differently(00:45:00) I Don’t Have A Board… And That Might Be A Mistake(00:45:59) The Book That Made Me Start With $2,000(00:46:31) The Scaling Books I Recommend Now(00:48:40) The $500K Mistake I’ll Never Repeat(00:51:08) The Jessica Alba Lesson: Your Team Must Evolve(00:52:41) What I Look For In Every Hire: Grit, Pivot, No Ego(00:54:56) Rapid Fire Questions Sponsored by: Beehiiv - Use code HSR30 for 30% off Link: https://www.beehiiv.com/hsr?utm_campaign=hsr-2026-Partnership&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=hsr&utm_term=2025-12-31 ⸻ Hot Smart Rich: Join 250,000+ angels and subscribe to the Hot Smart Rich newsletter: https://hotsmartrich.com/subscribe Hot Smart Rich Money Mindset: https://shorturl.at/pJWLc Merch: https://hotsmartrich.shop/ YouTube: https://shorturl.at/IXXFZ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotsmartrich/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotsmartrich Maggie Sellers Reum: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maggiesellersreum/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maggiesellersreum LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sellersmaggie/ Locker: https://www.wantlocker.com/users/maggiesellers ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/maggiesellers Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/maggiesellers ⸻ Follow Nicole Wegman: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsnicolewegman Ring Concierge: https://ringconcierge.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Michelle Battersby has built a career around creating products that improve the lives of women. From launching Bumble in Australia, to building and selling her own tech company to Fanfix, and now becoming President of the largest women’s network for moms, all while 30 weeks pregnant, Michelle has consistently disproven the 86% of women who believe motherhood will jeopardize their career. Raised in a hyper-competitive household with Olympian parents, Michelle reflects on how her identity has been shaped by ambition and challenged by cultural expectations, tall poppy syndrome, and motherhood, while building apps for women, by women. Plus, Michelle brings her 7 week old baby, Bobby, on the podcast to live breastfeed to prove that yes, women really can do it all. Michelle discusses: Tall Poppy Syndrome & Female Visibility: How cultural discomfort with ambitious women shows up as judgement, self-policing, and pressure to stay small - especially in Australia. Motherhood, Career & the Myth of ‘Having It All’: What pregnancy and postpartum taught Michelle about leadership, resilience, and why motherhood doesn’t weaken ambition - it sharpens it. Women’s Bodies, Confidence & Control: Why society sexualises women’s bodies but shames their biology - and why reclaiming ownership is an act of leadership. ⸻ Timestamps (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:13) Finding My Purpose Building for Women (00:04:19) Growing Up with Olympian Parents (00:06:06) How I Changed My Relationship with Failure (00:07:48) The Power of Naivety at Bumble (00:10:11) Building a Personal Brand Before You’re Ready (00:14:53) Tall Poppy Syndrome Explained (00:18:16) Did Moving to the US Change Me?

Mari Fonseca breaks down what it really takes to build a brand with no formal business education or understanding of finance – and why she walked away from a long, successful career as a model. Mari Fonseca is a former international model and the founder of Gente, a body care company focused on lymphatic drainage and wellness rituals - now Hailey Bieber’s favorite brand in this space. In this conversation, she shares why she dropped out of college at 16, how she became an entrepreneur, and the practical steps, mindset shifts, and challenges she faced turning her idea into a real business. Mari also opens up about her relationship with Drew from The Chainsmokers, and why building a business felt like the only path that truly aligned with her ambitions - rather than stepping into a more traditional role. ⸻ (00:00) Intro(02:19) Growing Up in Brazil & Leaving Home At 16 To Model(05:32) Reliving Your Childhood as an Adult(06:33) The Harsh Reality of the Modeling Industry(09:57) Breaking the “Pretty, Not Smart” Stereotype As A Model(11:27) From Cash to Equity: Rethinking How to Build Wealth(13:51) Why I Feel More Confident In My 30s Than I Did In My 20s(15:40) The Hardest Part About Leaving Modeling for Business(17:48) Why I Don’t Enjoy Modeling Anymore(18:17) How People Treat Me Differently as a Business Owner(19:38) Fundraising as a Female Founder: What I Learned(23:15) Why Big Followings Don’t Always Drive Sales(24:37) Hailey Bieber Favorite Brand: The Halo Effect(26:20) How Long It Takes to See Gente Lymphatic Results(27:30) My Lymphatic Drainage Routine & Glow Tips(29:08) Turning Gente Into a Self-Care Ritual(30:42) The Most Effective Way to Glow Up(31:49) How I Manifested My Beauty Brand Into Nordstrom(33:10) The Lows of Starting My Business(35:01) The Boundaries Every Business Owner Needs(38:47) Rapid Fire: From “I Didn’t Want a Wedding” to Latest Purchase(45:29) Gente Discount Code & Where to Follow Mari HSR Angels get 20% off at Gente with code HSR20 at gentebeauty.com ⸻ Hot Smart Rich: Join 250,000+ angels and subscribe to the Hot Smart Rich newsletter: https://hotsmartrich.com/subscribe Hot Smart Rich Money Mindset: https://shorturl.at/pJWLc Merch: https://hotsmartrich.shop/ YouTube: https://shorturl.at/IXXFZI nstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotsmartrich/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotsmartrich Maggie Sellers Reum: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maggiesellersreum/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maggiesellersreum LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sellersmaggie/ Locker: https://www.wantlocker.com/users/maggiesellers ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/maggiesellers Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/maggiesellers ⸻ Follow Mari Fonseca & Gente Beauty: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariannefonseca Gente Website: https://gentebeauty.com/ Gente Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gentebeauty ⸻ Hot Smart Rich is your place to hear unfiltered conversations with the people shaping the future of culture, creators, startups and community.
