Girl Chat w/ Hannah Chody: Wedding Do’s & Dont’s, Leaving The Corporate World & How To Get A Birkin Bag

Ep. 183: For this Girl Chat, we’re joined by Hannah Chody—content creator, entrepreneur, and all-around style expert. She’s built a loyal following for her effortlessly chic fashion and sharp business insights, but today, we’re going deeper. Hannah breaks down the secretive process of buying a Birkin, gives us an inside look at her Lake Como wedding—including what she’d do differently—and shares how she made the leap from Wall Street to entrepreneurship. Plus, we get into her family’s legacy with Garrett Popcorn and how she revived an Austin cult-favorite nut milk brand. It’s a fun and fascinating convo about style, business, and going after what you really want in life.
