“It is a love. It is something in you. It's like a superpower that you're creating this synergy that I call it this legacy that lives forever.”
What happens when you sit down with the woman who shaped your strength, your spirituality, and your entrepreneurial spirit?
In this deeply personal episode of The Entreprenista Podcast, Courtney welcomes someone many in the community already adore — her mom, Ida Spritzer, founder of Inner Divinity Attraction and the original “Mama-Pernista.”
Ida opens up about her early days building a family boutique business in the Bronx, her struggles with self-worth and addiction in her twenties, and the spiritual awakening that transformed her life. She shares the heartbreak of becoming a young widow at 35, raising two daughters on her own, and how meditation, faith, and radical self-belief carried her through unimaginable loss.
