"Authenticity is freedom. When you remember who you truly are—beneath the noise, the trauma, the conditioning—you realize you were never broken. You were just buried under layers that were never yours to begin with."
~ Polo REO Tate

In this episode of WildHER Wisdom, Shelley and Mary chat with Alexandra Clark—founder and fearless chocolatier behind Detroit’s own Bon Bon Bon. From a life-changing accident to sweet entrepreneurial success, Alexandra spills how she turned trauma into triumph, chocolate into connection, and big ideas into even bigger boss moves. If you're into badass business stories with a side of Bon Bon Bons, this one’s for you.

Whether she’s redesigning a kitchen or rebuilding a life, Leslie Hart-Davidson shows up with heart, humor, and a whole lot of grit. In this episode, she opens up about turning grief into action, empowering women through design, and why her mantra is ‘Do epic sh*t and don’t be a dick.’ If you’re ready to laugh, learn, and feel deeply seen, this conversation is a must-listen.

“I didn’t set out to write a bestseller—I just wanted to tell a story that mattered to me. When I found my old life list, it reminded me of the girl I used to be and the dreams I’d tucked away. The Life List became my way of reconnecting with her—and showing others it’s never too late to start again.” Lori Nelson Spielman

The chemistry between Shelley and Mary is instant—equal parts deep, sassy, and soul-stirring.

Wildness used to mean sneaking out and breaking all the rules—now it means saying no without guilt, going to bed like damn queens, and choosing ourselves on purpose. This version of wild? She’s not quieter—she’s more intentional, and a hell of a lot more powerful.
