From TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress to She is Cheval: A Designer’s Journey of Self-Discovery and Shoe Design Success

Business Bites® with Rachel Brenke

I welcome a true powerhouse woman, Cheval, the creative director and owner of She is Cheval, a specialty women's shoe brand. As our conversation unfolds, you'll discover the remarkable journey of a woman who has successfully rebranded herself after a high-stakes legal battle.

Cheval's story takes a unique twist from her previous life as a renowned designer, where she was forced to shed her birth name due to legal constraints. The discussion touches on her recent venture, the "A Girl You Might Know Foundation," a nonprofit inspired by her own experiences. While diving into the nuances of her legal battle, Cheval shares valuable insights that resonate with entrepreneurs and creatives alike.

We explore critical lessons from Cheval's journey. They emphasize the importance of specialization and protection for creative individuals who may become overly focused on their craft. Cheval's transformation from a "reckless optimist" to a responsible entrepreneur highlights the significance of self-advocacy and mentorship.

Listeners can expect a thought-provoking discussion that delves into the complexities of entrepreneurship, legal challenges, and the inspiring resilience of a woman who continues to design her destiny. To learn more about Cheval's story and her inspiring work, check out the link below:
