The Kara Goldin Show | 771 Andrea Faulkner Williams: Co-Founder & Head Mama of Tubby Todd

On today’s episode, Kara welcomes Andrea Faulkner Williams, Co-Founder and “Head Mama” of Tubby Todd Bath Co. — the clean, joyful, and fast-growing skincare brand that’s reshaping the baby-care industry.
Andrea’s journey began with a simple but pressing challenge: finding gentle, effective products for sensitive skin when nothing on the shelf truly worked. That personal need sparked a mission that would evolve into Tubby Todd — now the #1 baby skincare brand on Amazon, fueling the majority of growth in a $50B category and outpacing legacy players through community, clarity, and clean ingredients. With a digital audience of more than 600K and a fiercely loyal customer base, Tubby Todd has become a modern case study in consumer trust, storytelling, and bootstrapped innovation.
In this episode, Andrea shares how she went from testing early formulas at home to building a nationally recognized brand, what it takes to scale without celebrity investors or massive ad budgets, and why authenticity still beats everything when it comes to connecting with consumers. From early obstacles to breakout moments, her story is packed with lessons about category disruption, brand voice, product excellence, and building a mission-driven business in a crowded space.

On today’s episode, Kara welcomes Danuta Mieloch, Founder of Rescue Spa and Danucera — two pioneering names redefining modern skincare through simplicity, science, and results.
A renowned esthetician and skincare expert, Danuta built Rescue Spa into a luxury destination known for its transformative treatments and personalized care, introducing European skincare philosophies to the U.S. long before they became mainstream.

The Kara Goldin Show | 766 Sarah Moret: Founder & CEO of Curie

On today’s episode, Kara welcomes Sarah Moret, Founder and CEO of Curie — the clean personal care brand on a mission to prove that “clean” can be powerful.
Sarah’s journey began with a personal frustration: she couldn’t find a natural deodorant that actually worked. A marathon runner and wellness enthusiast, she set out to change that — investing $12,000 of her savings and spending more than a year perfecting a formula that delivered on both performance and purity. The result? Curie, a high-performance, aluminum-free deodorant that quickly grew from a small side hustle into an 8-figure business sold in over 4,500 stores nationwide, including Walmart and Anthropologie, and featured in locker rooms at Equinox and SoulCycle.
Before founding Curie, Sarah worked in venture capital, where she invested in early-stage wellness startups — experience that gave her the insight and drive to build her own brand from the ground up. We talk about her journey from investor to entrepreneur, the lessons she’s learned about formulating clean products that truly work, and how she’s scaling Curie while staying true to her mission and values. From her Shark Tank deal with Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban to building a brand that’s redefining the meaning of clean, this episode is full of lessons and inspiration for founders and consumers alike.
