“the pod ep i’ve been dying for!!!! this is gonna be good.” - HSR Angel

Happy podcast day angels!! Today I am sitting down with someone who turned a fashion blog into an 8-figure empire, sold her company at 30 and is now taking back her life and business, Danielle Bernstein.

Danielle is the founder of WeWoreWhat, fashion designer and entrepreneur who has built one of the most recognizable personal brands on the internet.

I have always been interested by Danielle’s story because she has experienced massive success, public criticism, heartbreak and now an entirely new chapter of rebuilding both personally and professionally.

We talk about the controversies surrounding her brand, the copying accusations, what actually happened behind the scenes and the regrets she has looking back. And I really appreciate how open she is about the things she would do differently.

Danielle also opens up about calling off her engagement, why walking away was one of the hardest decisions she has made and why she believes marriage is also a business decision. We get into prenups, protecting your assets and knowing when something is no longer right for you.

We also talk about buying back WeWoreWhat, the strategy behind her massive rebrand and what it actually takes to start over at 34 when you have already built an empire.

If you are one of the angels who wants to build something of your own, protect what you have worked for and learn how to start over without losing yourself, this is the episode you have to listen to.

her top 10 products to live a hot, smart, rich life

01. Eight Sleep has made the biggest difference in my life recently because everything feels more manageable after a good night's sleep.

02. Wellbel is part of my beauty routine, and I love it so much that I became an investor.

03. My outfit album on my phone saves me so much time because I plan and photograph complete looks before every work trip.

04. A repeatable wardrobe with great denim, a going-out top, and a strong jacket saves me time and unnecessary purchases.

05. Writing on Substack gives me the space to figure out what I actually think beyond an Instagram caption.

06. Knowing my business numbers is non-negotiable because being creative doesn't mean you can ignore margins, expenses, and cash flow.

07. Sana Buckwheat Tea is my cozy, debloating bedtime ritual that helps me wind down.

08. WeWoreWhat 001 is my favorite clean but sexy fragrance that makes me feel amazing every time I wear it.

09. Hosting dinner at home with people I love is one of my favorite ways to spend a night, just sitting around a table and actually talking.

10. Getting dressed up and going out is something I'll always love, especially when I get to turn an ordinary night into something special.

The bravery Maggie and I shared around starting over.

I’m on the River Fund board, and I’ve been involved for more than six years. People mostly see the fashion side of my life, but this is a part I’m really proud of.
