Stacy Phillips and Friends

In this episode of Stacy Phillips & Friends, Stacy sits down with co-host Abbe Feder — fertility advocate and host of Women's Wellness with Abbe Feder — to welcome Anne Sisteron, the GIA-trained gemologist, fine jewelry designer, and accidental Instagram sensation whose pieces have graced the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Forbes, and Elle.But this isn't just a jewelry story. Anne was born in Paris to Danish diplomat parents, discovered on a beach at 15, shot a worldwide Maybelline campaign, married a man she met in a Parisian nightclub at 17 (yes, same husband — yes, still going strong), and built a Beverly Hills fine jewelry brand and a flagship store that could double as a museum. Then she walked away from all of it.Because none of it was making her happy.What followed was a pivot so unexpected it almost sounds made up: a goodbye sale, a scaled-back collection, one Instagram live about a White Lotus-inspired beaded necklace — and suddenly 300,000 highly-engaged followers, sold-out drops, and a new store opening three doors down from the old one. Oh, and somewhere in all of this, she got sober. Three and a half years in, and she'll tell you it's the best thing she's ever done.✨ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSFrom Paris to Beverly Hills — Anne's extraordinary journey from diplomat's daughter to supermodel to GIA gemologist to fine jewelry founderWhy she walked away from a multimillion-dollar business with 20-plus employees (and why it was the right call)The goodbye sale, the pivot, and how one Instagram live about beaded necklaces reached Kuwait, Qatar, and beyondFrom 100K to 300K+ followers in three months — and what changed when Anne started showing up as herselfThe frittata debate that broke the internet (or at least her comments section)Her sobriety story — hidden for years, life-changing when finally addressed, and the conversation with her son that made it all worth itManifesting from age 10 — and why feeling worthy is the whole pointHer husband: the man who founded LA's top venture capital firm, Upfront Ventures, and the one she'd choose all over againWhy closing her store opened everything🔗 FOLLOWStacy Phillips Website: stacydphillipsesq.com/my-podcasts Instagram: @stacydphillipsesqAbbe Feder Podcast: Women's Wellness with Abbe Feder Instagram: @abbefederAnne Sisteron Website: annesisteron.com Instagram: @annesisteron🕒 TIMESTAMPS01:13 — Anne's "forever collection" and the earring origin story (spoiler: Stacy bought both colors)02:33 — Born in Paris, raised everywhere — life as a Danish diplomat's daughter03:09 — Tea with Diana, the Oval Office, and a childhood that reads like a novel03:32 — Discovered on a beach at 15 — and why she almost said no to the photographer05:03 — Eileen Ford comes to dinner in Copenhagen to recruit Anne (her parents said no)07:33 — When a roadblock is actually a door opening: becoming a GIA gemologist11:18 — The accidental influencer: why she closed the big store and went back to her roots13:37 — One Instagram live, sold-out koi necklaces, and reaching Kuwait14:12 — From 100K to 338K followers in three months — and the moment Brené Brown started following her17:28 — The crustless quiche that went viral (and the frittata police who came for her)19:17 — Anne reveals she's sober — three and a half years in, and why it changed everything26:09 — The conversation with her son that made sobriety worth every hard day27:22 — Why sobriety made her scrutinize her life — and gave her permission to choose joy30:29 — Manifestation, worthiness, and the 10-year-old girl who knew she'd lunch at Hotel d'Angleterre one day

The Woman Who Out-Pinterested Pinterest: Kristine Locker on Building Something From ScratchIn this episode of Stacy Phillips & Friends, Stacy sits down with co-host Katie Cazorla — comedian and entrepreneur — to welcome Forbes-recognized founder Kristine Locker, the woman behind the shopping platform everyone's about to be obsessed with: Locker.It started the way the best ideas do — with a problem. Kristine was keeping a Google spreadsheet of products she wanted to buy and thought there has to be a better way!What followed was a leap from commercial real estate broker to tech founder. Now shes raised $3.5 million, created partnerships with major retailers like Neiman Marcus, and found success with viral TikToks that bring in 5,000 new users overnight. Oh, and she's pregnant. No big deal.Think of Locker as what you'd get if Pinterest and an influencer network had a baby — a visual, social shopping platform where anyone can save, share, and actually earn from the things they love. And with women receiving just 2% of venture capital dollars, Kristine's story isn't just inspiring — it's a little bit radical.This episode is also pure fun but also reveals an incredible truth - betting on yourself is the only business plan that actually holds up.Pull up your phone, open a new tab, and maybe start thinking about what you'd put in your locker.✨ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSFrom Google Spreadsheets to $3.5M raised — Kristine's unexpected path to founding LockerWhat Locker actually is — and why "Pinterest meets influencer network" finally makes online shopping make senseHow a user cold-messaged Kristine about investing — and ended up writing a $1M checkWhy women receive only 2% of venture capital dollars (and what we can do about it)The viral TikTok that got 2 million views and 5,000 new users in a single weekKristine's advice for anyone with a big idea and no idea where to start🔗 FOLLOWStacy Phillips Website: stacydphillipsesq.com/my-podcasts Instagram: @stacydphillipsesqKatie Cazorla Instagram: @officialkatiecazorlaKristine Locker Website: wantlocker.com Instagram: @kristinelocker TikTok: @kristinelocker / @wantlockerGot it!

In this episode of Stacy Phillips & Friends, Stacy sits down with co-host Jade Nikolaou and the incomparable Tai Beauchamp — wellness visionary, former beauty director at 17 Magazine (yes, at just 25 years old), and the woman behind the Morning Mindset with Tai platform. What starts as a conversation about Tai's dazzling media career quickly unfolds into something much more personal: a candid, warm, and genuinely funny exploration of burnout, spiritual awakening, self-trust, and what it actually means to stop doing and start being.Tai has had bylines at Oprah Magazine, Essence, Good Housekeeping, and Harper's Bazaar — but she'll be the first to tell you that all that striving came with a cost. She's burned out more than once, exited a beauty brand she founded, and made a seven-and-a-half-week solo trip to Bali to figure out what came next. Spoiler: what came next is pretty great — including a new TV show she's set to host and produce, a Bali retreat she's leading in April 2026, and "her person" who slid into her DMs (87% women followers and somehow he found her — universe at work).This episode is also a masterclass in Stacy and Jade being their fully unfiltered, wonderfully relatable selves — debating what to call your partner when "boyfriend" sounds too high school, confessing their love for Hallmark movies, and connecting over the shared struggle of being type-A women learning to trust their gut and let go of the shoulds.It's the kind of conversation you want to have with your most inspiring friend over a really good glass of something. Pull up a chair.✨ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSFrom 17 Magazine to Morning Mindset — Tai's unexpected path from beauty media powerhouse to wellness trailblazerWhat "transformational wellness" actually means (hint: it's about way more than green juice and gym selfies)Burnout as a blazing trail and why Tai says "if you're blazing trails, there's going to be some fire"The seven-and-a-half-week Bali trip that changed everythingThe "shoulds" that keep women stuck — and how to start honoring what you actually needJade's Bali moment with a spiritual teacher who told her: "You're not going to find peace because you don't want it"Stacy on trusting your gut and the courtroom story that proved her right all over againWhat's coming next for Tai: a new TV show, the Bali retreat, and a life lived more intentionally🔗 FOLLOWStacy Phillips WebsiteInstagramJade Nikolaou Website Tai Beauchamp WebsiteInstagram 🕒 TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Stacy and Jade introduce Tai01:35 — Tai on being a girl's girl and why she's in a different season now02:38 — Why Tai exited her beauty brand for transformational wellness03:20 — What transformational wellness actually means — all 8 dimensions06:06 — The power of just being — plus Tai's new TV show06:47 — Why women carry everyone's emotions (and do 97 million things a day)07:39 — What do you even call your person when "boyfriend" sounds like high school?09:52 — What Stacy actually loved about the Golden Bachelor10:33 — Burnout as a blazing trail — Tai on burning out at 2612:36 — Non-linear paths, burnout, and why social media makes it worse13:46 — Stacy on the shoulds — and how she was raised by them14:47 — Hallmark movies as self-care — true confessions15:32 — How Tai met her person (he slid into her DMs)16:33 — Why Stacy closed her firm and joined Blank Rome after 26 years19:35 — Living in a world of chaos — and the only real antidote20:44 — Jade's Bali trip and the spiritual teacher who told her the hard truth21:58 — Tai's seven-and-a-half-week Bali trip — that started as three weeks23:25 — Tai's April 2026 Bali retreat: Unleashed — Wellness and the Writer Within25:29 — Jade on resetting in Thailand — beach cleanup, elephants, and finding calm25:47 — Why "reset" has "rest" hiding inside it27:22 — Trusting your instincts — a courtroom story and a Mother Teresa quote30:31 — Why women don't trust themselves enough to act on what they already know31:39 — The perimenopause awakening — and learning to trust yourself

In this episode of Stacy Phillips & Friends, Stacy sits down with co-host Angela Reddock-Wright and the luminous, deeply honest Eden Sassoon - daughter of legendary Vidal Sassoon. What begins as a conversation about legacy quickly opens into a raw, vulnerable exploration of addiction, identity, grief, and the lifelong work of learning to love yourself without the noise of fame or labels.Eden shares her journey from childhood fantasy and food addiction to alcohol dependency, and the painful family history she witnessed along the way. She reveals how she spiraled after her father’s death, the moment in Las Vegas that changed everything, and what finally made sobriety “stick”. This time not just abstaining from alcohol, but doing the emotional and spiritual work she had avoided for decades.But this episode is also about rebirth. About learning how to breathe again (literally), discovering the power of community, releasing shame, and choosing daily presence over perfection. Eden talks candidly about the challenge of carrying a famous last name, why reality TV was a soul-altering wake-up call, and how breathwork, spirituality, and authentic connection are reshaping her life in her fities.It’s intimate, grounding, and unexpectedly uplifting — a conversation for any woman who has ever tried to hold it all together or felt trapped in an old version of herself.✨ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSGrowing up Sassoon — the pressure, the fantasy, and the early roots of addictionFood, fantasy, and finding alcohol at 15 as a form of emotional reliefThe turning point in Las Vegas that made her ask: “Are you ready to surrender?”What sobriety actually looks like when you stop being a “dry drunk” and start doing the real workWhy reality TV was spiritually misaligned — and the moment she knew she had to leaveWhat “Messy, Sexy, Real” really means for women who are tired of pretendingStacy’s ‘Two Plus One Intervention’ — and a powerful discussion on how community can save the partners of addicts too🔗 FOLLOWStacy PhillipsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stacydphillipsesq/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacydphillips/Eden SassoonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/edensassoonAngela Reddock-WrightInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/imangelareddockwright🕒 TIMESTAMPS00:52 — Eden reflects on growing up Sassoon, identity, and early seeds of addiction03:37 — Alcohol enters the picture — and why it felt like instant relief06:46 — Knowing she was an alcoholic — and why she wasn’t ready to stop07:18 — Building businesses, chasing legacy, and trying to outrun her feelings09:22 — The “dry drunk” years: nine years sober without real recovery11:11 — The Vegas awakening — the moment she felt God ask: “Are you ready?”13:00 — What reality TV demanded of her — and why she couldn’t “be mean for a storyline”14:38 — Breathwork, the quantum field, and discovering a new way to live17:41 — Stacy introduces her “Two Plus One Intervention” concept20:17 — Why friends and family didn’t intervene — and how the community could have changed everything23:32 — The importance of letting your circle in, even when you want to hide33:43 — Eden’s past nonprofit work and questioning legacy vs. authentic purpose39:02 — Eden’s daily routine: prayer, breathwork, meditation, and self-compassion40:53 — Stacy reflects on her own next chapter — and building a life beyond family law
