Kelsey Moreira is a wildly passionate entrepreneur who, after getting sober in 2015, ditched her decade-long tech career with Intel and followed her sweet tooth to open her own cookie dough company: Doughp. Kelsey has appeared twice on ABC’s Shark Tank, was named a Forbes 20 Under 30, an Inc Female Founder 200, and even ranked #274 in the Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America. Given her personal recovery journey, she has become a leader in the mental health & recovery advocacy space. Since starting the #Doughp4Hope initiative in 2018, Doughp has committed to reducing stigmas around addiction recovery and mental health inside and outside the company. They are a designated Recovery Friendly Workplace and have donated more than $100,000 to nonprofits working in this space.
In this episode, Kelsey and I discuss:
- Kelsey’s intense desire to overachieve and be “perfect” led her to use alcohol as a way to escape and the breaking point that told her enough was enough.
- How her edible cookie dough company, Doughp started with a cart and a wagon and grew into a massive, wildly successful business.
- The #Doughp4Hope initiative’s way of advocating for mental health and addiction recovery.
- How motherhood has changed Kelsey’s internal landscape, bringing about a deeper sense of purpose and personal growth.
