Red Shape Purple Shape Kara Portrait

Inspiring Guests. Authentic Talk.

Latest Episode:

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Maria Weaver, Founder and CEO of XO Maria Louise—a bold new jewelry brand rooted in the power of reinvention, intention, and individuality. After an impressive 30-year career leading media, entertainment, and tech giants including HBO, Showtime, and Warner Music Experience—where she doubled revenue during her tenure as Global President—Maria made the courageous leap into entrepreneurship.
In our conversation, Maria shares why she walked away from the corporate world at the height of her career to build something deeply personal. We explore the philosophy behind XO Maria Louise, how she turned life’s pivots into fuel, and why she believes starting over is a superpower. Maria also discusses the mindset shifts that guided her transition, the importance of legacy and community, and how her brand is creating space for women to express themselves unapologetically.
If you’re navigating a transition, building a values-led brand, or simply love stories of bold reinvention—this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

This podcast is amazing! Insightful, uplifting, inspiring, thought provoking…I can’t get enough! As a recent college graduate trying to chart my own path…I find golden nuggets of wisdom in every podcast. I’ve been following Kara for years and love getting to know her in this facet. Such a valuable listen!

Kara has a great balance of getting to the details and finding the deeper threads of the concepts while keeping things fluid and fun. A must listen for anyone looking to learn.

I am so inspired by Kara and not a bit surprised by the line up of “movers and shakers” she has chosen to interview. When I saw Dr. Robert Lustig on the list I was absolutely delighted! Keep up the fight against sugar, Kara, and keep inspiring others on a daily basis! Thank you for what you do.

I love Kara’s questions and her naturally flowing conversations with her guests. I’ve learned so much about developing your own business with little to no experience from the episodes with Alli Webb, Randi Zuckerberg and Ellen Bennett. Kara can relate too based off of her interview in Rebecca Jarvis’ no limits podcast which makes it even more relatable for me. Great job!!!
