In this episode of The Hi Felicia Podcast, I sit down with Tirza Jova, founder and CEO of Milk by Mom, a Phoenix-based company revolutionizing the breastfeeding experience for modern mothers.

Tirza shares her deeply personal journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship after facing the real challenges of pumping, storing, and traveling with breast milk as a working mom. What began as a personal solution led her to discover freeze-drying, a clinically proven method that preserves breast milk's nutrients and antibodies while making it shelf-stable for up to three years.

We dive into motherhood, innovation, and intentional business-building, exploring how one mom's need turned into a nationwide solution that offers freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind to breastfeeding parents everywhere.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Tirza's founding story and the moment that changed everything
• What freeze-drying breast milk really is and why it matters
• Common misconceptions and safety concerns around the process
• How Milk by Mom supports working, traveling, and overwhelmed parents
• The mindset shifts required to build a mission-driven business without burning out
• How conversations around breastfeeding support need to evolve culturally and in the workplace
• A powerful message for moms navigating pressure, judgment, and choice

This conversation is equal parts inspiring and practical, offering insight for mothers, founders, and anyone building a business rooted in real-life impact.

Today's guest sits right at the intersection of ambition, emotional intelligence, and the science of love — and this conversation is one I know so many of you will feel deeply.

I'm joined by Melissa Nanavati, a speaker, author, and Relationship Architect who helps high performers build peaceful, thriving relationships without sacrificing their big goals.

Melissa blends neuroscience, biology, and lived experience to teach ambitious women how to apply the same skills that make them successful in business… to love.

Despite early success as a textbook author and Fortune 100 consultant, Melissa found herself stuck in anxious attachment and went on over 100 first dates before meeting her husband. What happened next is powerful — in their first year together, they raised $1.1 million while running two businesses.

Through that journey, Melissa developed science-backed frameworks that support executives, founders, and driven women who want relationships that feel secure, grounded, and aligned with who they're becoming.

In this episode, we dive into love, attachment, ambition, nervous system regulation, dating, healing, and what it truly takes to thrive in partnership as a high performer. If you've ever felt like you can excel in business but struggle in relationships — this conversation is for you.

You're not broken. You've just never been given the frameworks. And Melissa is here to change that.

Today's guest is a true innovator at the intersection of health, science, longevity, and high performance.

I'm honored to welcome Dr. Adrijana Kekic — a Mayo Clinic–trained clinical pharmacy and pharmacogenomics specialist, award-winning innovator, and Founder & CEO of Futurome, a precision health and longevity company built for high achievers.

Known as a Longevity Pharmacist™, Dr. Kekic blends advanced multi-omics science — including genomics, proteomics, microbiome, and mitochondrial health — with deeply personalized protocols that go far beyond traditional labs or annual checkups. Her mission is bold and necessary: to help executives, founders, athletes, and legacy builders optimize their biology so they can extend both lifespan and healthspan with clarity and confidence.

After years leading precision medicine initiatives at Mayo Clinic — and surviving a life-altering personal health crisis — Dr. Kekic realized modern medicine often waits until something breaks. She founded Futurome to change that paradigm, giving people actionable insights into their cellular biology before burnout, disease, or decline takes over.

In this episode, we go deep on longevity, personalized medicine, high performance, and the future of health — and what it truly takes to sustain ambitious lives from the inside out.

Béa has spent over 20 years helping women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and step out of old patterns that keep them stuck. Her work is powerful, deeply compassionate, and incredibly freeing.

This conversation goes there — childhood patterns, emotional outsourcing, nervous system regulation, codependency, and the lies perfectionism tells us. But we also talk about reclaiming joy, taking up space, and how women can finally come home to themselves.
