On this week’s podcast, I enjoyed speaking with mompreneur, Urbana Chappa.

Urbana is a fashion designer and celebrity stylist. She began her company Maison de Mini, which is an eco-friendly children’s fashion line that focuses on creating from bamboo, soy, and hemp. Her husband is a songwriter for Bruno Mars and has written many songs such as “Just The Way You Are”. They have four adorable children together and she is an advocate for childhood cancer awareness and giving back to many children’s causes. Urbana is raw, real, and authentic.

In today’s podcast, she gives unhindered transparency of her experience with postpartum depression and how she overcame it by finding her passion in the fashion world.
