For Dr. Sarah Lesko, executive director of Bras for Girls, the answer began with unused sports bra inventory and research showing that many girls step away from sports because they do not have the equipment or education needed to feel comfortable participating.

What started as a small program inside women’s athletic apparel brand Oiselle quickly revealed a need far greater than anyone expected. Today, Bras for Girls has distributed more than 230,000 sports bras to girls across the country while helping make conversations about breast development, body changes, and athletic support feel less intimidating.

In this episode of Saltbox Entrepreneurs Club, Sarah takes Ashley inside the growth of that mission, from storing thousands of donated bras in her garage to building an independent nonprofit with manufacturing partners, volunteers, national brand relationships, and a constantly moving inventory operation.

Her path to this work was not a straight one. After training at Yale and practicing medicine, Sarah gradually found that Bras for Girls gave her another way to pursue the public health impact that had drawn her to healthcare in the first place. Her experience as a physician, coach, and former athlete now shapes an organization working to remove both financial barriers and the stigma that can make girls feel uncomfortable in their changing bodies.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: a sports bra is not an extra. It is essential athletic equipment. For a girl who has been holding her chest during PE, sitting out of activities, or avoiding sports altogether, having the right support can change what feels possible.

This episode is for nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, athletic brands, educators, youth program organizers, and anyone building a mission around a problem others may have overlooked.

Sarah’s story is a reminder that meaningful change does not always begin with a complicated solution. Sometimes, it begins by noticing what someone needs to keep moving.

For Dr. Michelle C. Chatman, creator of Dream, Sis!, it started with a desire to see Black women and girls represented in moments of rest, joy, imagination, and possibility. That idea grew into a series of mindful coloring and activity books designed to make wellness feel more accessible, personal, and reflective of the people using it.

In this episode of Saltbox Entrepreneurs Club, Ashley sits down with Dr. Chatman to talk about the journey from idea to product-based business, the role artificial intelligence played in helping her bring the vision to life, and what it means to give yourself permission to dream bigger.

They also explore the realities of becoming a first-time product founder, balancing entrepreneurship with a full-time career, and recognizing when a business has outgrown the dining room table.

This episode is for Black women entrepreneurs, wellness founders, self-published authors, solopreneurs, and product-based business owners building something meaningful while learning as they go.

Dr. Chatman’s story is a reminder that rest, creativity, and ambition do not have to compete with one another. Sometimes, they are all part of the same dream.

For Jon Link, co-founder of Elk Field Home Goods, it started with a career shift, a creative family, and one candle kit from Amazon. What began in the family kitchen has since grown into an all-natural candle and body care brand making handmade beeswax candles, body butter, and home goods with Colorado-sourced beeswax and simple, thoughtful ingredients.

In this episode of Saltbox Entrepreneurs Club, Ashley sits down with Jon to talk about the story behind Elk Field Home Goods, what it has been like to build a product-based business as a family, and how each of his daughters has found her own role in the brand along the way.

Jon shares the early moments that shaped the business, from farmers markets and handmade production to launching on Amazon and seeing Elk Field reach the best sellers list in handmade skincare within its first month. He also talks about the lessons that come with growing carefully, staying persistent, and learning when it is time to move the business out of the house and into a workspace that can support the next stage.

This episode is for handmade business owners, product-based founders, family businesses, and anyone building something from the ground up while trying to protect what matters most. Jon’s story is a reminder that growth does not have to mean losing the heart of what you started with.

For Jenny Dietsch, founder of Getting It Done Organizing, that thing was organization. Growing up, Jenny was not the naturally organized kid. She was late, forgot homework, misplaced what she needed, and spent years trying to make structure feel natural. But once she started building systems that worked with her brain instead of against it, especially as someone with ADHD, everything began to shift.

In this episode of Saltbox Entrepreneurs Club, Ashley sits down with Jenny to talk about the story behind Getting It Done Organizing, a Dallas-based professional organizing and move management company helping families, busy professionals, and people in the middle of major life transitions create spaces that feel beautiful, functional, and easier to maintain.

Jenny shares how a birthday gift, a label maker, and one overwhelmed friend’s post-holiday playroom became the beginning of her business. What started with organizing for friends and neighbors grew into a full-service team supporting clients through home organization, unpacking, move management, inventory systems, and the kind of behind-the-scenes structure that makes daily life feel lighter.

Ashley and Jenny also talk about why organization is not about perfection. It is about creating systems that fit your real life. From intentional spaces and labels to reducing mental load and making small tasks easier to manage, Jenny’s approach is practical, honest, and deeply human.

The conversation also explores how Getting It Done Organizing grew beyond homes and into a true operating system for Jenny’s business. As client demand grew, products and supplies started taking over her house, garage, and front porch. Eventually, she found Saltbox on Instagram and realized her service-based business needed more than storage. It needed a clean, safe, flexible workspace where her team could receive shipments, manage inventory, process returns, hold meetings, and stay organized as the business continued to grow.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their space, their move, their systems, or the growing pains of running a small business. Jenny’s story is a reminder that getting organized is not about having a perfect home or a perfect business. It is about creating enough structure to get back to living, building, and doing the things that matter.

Sarah is the founder of Treo Organics, a fragrance-free, salon-quality haircare line born out of personal necessity and a whole lot of heart. After spending decades as a hairstylist and developing a serious sensitivity to chemicals and fragrance, Sarah opened Treo Organic Salon in Seattle in 2017 and launched her own product line in October 2025 alongside her husband and business partner, David Griffiths.

In this episode, Sarah and David share the story behind Treo Organics, what it has been like to build something meaningful together as a family, and why fragrance sensitivity deserves a lot more attention than it gets. 1 in 4 people are affected, and even products marketed as "clean" or "organic" often still contain essential oils and natural fragrance that trigger real reactions.

Treo Organics is a member of 1% for the Planet, Cruelty-Free International certified, and sustainability is woven into everything they do, not just the packaging. They are also a proud member of the Saltbox community, based out of our Seattle location.

Whether you have dealt with fragrance sensitivities yourself, know someone who has, or you are just rooting for a small family business doing something genuinely good, we think you are going to love this one.
