This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil
We all dream. Every night. Whether we remember them or not. And maybe — just maybe — those dreams aren’t random, ridiculous, or irrelevant. Maybe they’re trying to tell us something we’re too distracted, too busy, or too burned out to hear while we’re awake. Here to help us decode the language of dreams is Dr. Bonnie Buckner — founder of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, executive coach, faculty director at GWU’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, and author of The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Your Dreams to Transform Your Life . She’s spent her career teaching people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, leadership, and creative breakthroughs . We explore: Why your dreams are worth paying attention to (even the weird ones) The science and strategy behind using dreams for personal development How feelings and subconscious wisdom can point to answers What to do if you don’t remember your dreams Why slowing down might be the key to speeding up your clarity Because what if the clarity you're chasing isn't out there — it's already in you, waiting for you to slow down, shut off, and tune in?

In this episode of the Startup CPG Podcast, Caitlin Bricker speaks with Sam Lejfer, founder of Lucky Day, a brand in the frozen dessert category unlike you've ever seen. Lucky Day produces organic, dairy-free ice cream made without common allergens, refined sugars, gums, or seed oils—offering a thoughtful alternative for health-conscious and ingredient-aware consumers. Sam shares the personal health journey that inspired the creation of Lucky Day, detailing how severe food allergies and a commitment to wellness shaped the brand’s core values. He also discusses the operational challenges of launching an allergen-friendly product, including the decision to manufacture in-house and to use home-compostable, plastic-free packaging. They also explore the realities of startup growth, the importance of maintaining product integrity, and how fear, discipline, and a mission-driven approach continue to guide Sam’s leadership. Gain insights into market trends in clean-label food, strategies for sustainable packaging, and the value of scaling with intention rather than speed. Listen now!
