Ep. 120 with Megan Tamte | Co-Founder, Evereve
From A Dressing Room Breakdown To A 100 Store Retail Brand ***Interview was pre-recorded in front of a live audience*** A difficult dressing-room experience became the spark for what would eventually grow into Evereve. Megan Tamte, co-founder and co-CEO, joins us to share how feeling unseen in that moment helped shape a bigger vision: creating a place where women—especially moms navigating changing seasons of life—could feel understood, supported, and confident in what they wear. But this conversation has a story of its own. Long before Megan sat down with us, Kelly sent a handwritten note marked with a butterfly stamp—an intentional invitation to a dream guest. What followed is a conversation about trusting the ideas that won’t leave you alone, building through motherhood, and having the courage to keep pursuing what feels possible. We dig into the long road between inspiration and execution: the seven-year gap between the idea and opening the first store, the sacrifices that made it possible, and the very real tension of building a business while raising young kids. Megan gets specific about what helped her move forward, including turning off nighttime TV to write the dream, learning to say no without guilt, and partnering with her husband in a way that plays to both of their strengths. You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes lessons from scaling retail: the name change from Hot Mama to Evereve, why leaders need to get back on the selling floor, and how customer experience gets rebuilt by listening in the dressing room. Megan shares the HEART core values, her “balcony approach” for handling feedback without letting it become identity, and how faith shapes her leadership, routines, and self-care. If you’re a woman entrepreneur, a working mom, or someone “nibbling on the edges” of a big idea, this conversation brings both heart and practical strategy.
