    Roots, Resilience & Real Talk with Elizabeth Savetsky

    For years, many of us knew Elizabeth Savetsky as a fashion influencer. Polished, stylish, curated. However, over the last few years, her voice has taken on an entirely new role. In this episode, we sit down for a deeply personal conversation about where she comes from, what shaped her, and how she stepped into one of the most powerful advocacy roles we’re seeing today. Having known each other for over a decade, this conversation goes beyond what you see online. It’s not just about her public stance - it’s about the human behind it. The shifts, the pressure, the responsibility, and the moments that changed everything. This is a conversation about identity, growth, and what happens when your voice becomes bigger than you ever expected. About the Podcast: Pod by Pen is where real conversations meet the women behind the stories. Raw, honest, and a little unfiltered - this is your space for depth, growth, and everything in between.

    Rechama (D-rama) on Business, the Internet & Getting Real

    Rechama Jaffa is known online for her humor, honesty, and unfiltered takes on life, motherhood, and entrepreneurship. But before the internet personality era, she built D-Rama, a fashion brand focused on creating stylish clothing for women who often felt overlooked by the industry. In this episode of Pod by Pen, Rechama opens up about what it was really like to run a storefront, build a brand from the ground up, and ultimately make the difficult decision to close that chapter for now. We talk about the realities of entrepreneurship, the pressure of building a business publicly, body image and weight loss, and what it means to evolve when life takes you in a different direction than you originally planned. Rechama brings her signature humor and honesty to a conversation about reinvention, priorities, and the many different eras women move through in life.
