She had the career most people spend years chasing. The prestigious firm. The fast track. The title that made everyone nod with approval.

And she walked away to make a bag.

Sabrina Rohde is the founder of Rohde Vene — a luxury accessories brand born in New York out of years spent in high-pressure, male-dominated boardrooms where she was brilliant, successful, and quietly building something just for herself on the side.

What started as a creative outlet became a sold-out launch, an eight-week waitlist, and a brand that grew entirely through community — not a single dollar spent on ads.

In this episode we talk about the moment she knew she had to bet on herself, how mentorship and community became her actual growth strategy, and what it really looks like to build something meaningful when you finally stop building for everyone else.
