Episode #14 - Ivey Leidy
“Don’t sweat the small stuff [...] What I like to do is change my perspective to a bird’s eye perspective. If I were to look at this and it was happening to someone else, would it still be a big deal?”
In this episode of The Little Things, Jennifer sits down with Ivey Leidy, founder of Living with Ivey, for a conversation about wellness, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the trust that has shaped her brand.
One of the most trusted voices in intentional living, Ivey has built Living with Ivey into a thoughtfully curated destination for wellness, beauty, home, and everyday essentials. What began as a personal search to better understand her own health has grown into a lifestyle brand rooted in transparency, taste, and helping people make better choices.
Together, they talk about the evolution of wellness, why balance matters more than obsession, and how food, beauty, and home can all be approached with more intention and less pressure. They also explore how Ivey has built a business around integrity, why she only carries products she truly believes in, and what it means to create a home and life that feel as good as they look.
Ivey also opens up about motherhood, trusting her instincts, navigating trends, and the little things that matter most to her now. At its heart, this is a conversation about confidence, discernment, and building a life that feels deeply aligned.
