Desi Perkins on Identity, Motherhood & Building an Empire

In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with the one and only Desi Perkins! We talk about what it really takes to go from content creator to CEO, navigating imposter syndrome, letting go of perfectionism, and reclaiming joy through things as simple (and sacred) as gardening. She shares untold stories about infertility, leaving major brand deals behind, and the identity shift that comes with motherhood. This conversation is about so much more than just beauty or business—it’s about resilience, reinvention, and choosing passion even when fear is in the room. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be more, do more, or explain yourself… this one’s for you! 💬 We discuss: Desi’s journey from artist to influencer to founder Building a brand beyond yourself Infertility, loneliness & sharing her story online From passion to empire: what changed everything Motherhood, identity shifts & redefining success Therapy, transference & growth off-camera What success means to her now 🔔 Don’t forget: ✔️ Subscribe for weekly episodes ✔️ Leave a rating & review (it helps more than you know!) ✔️ Drop a comment — I always read them ✔️ Tag me in your stories @similarlydifferentpod — I’ll repost! 💬 📲 Let’s stay connected: Instagram: @similarlydifferentpod TikTok: @similarlydifferentpod Submit a 'Similarly Curious' question: https://www.youandmemedia.co/similarl... 🤳Follow Desi: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desiperkins...
