Join Ellie for this week’s episode of A Day In Her Life with Emily Doyle—co-founder of Ursa Major Skincare, mom to eight-year-old, and longtime Vermonter balancing entrepreneurship, parenting, partnership, and creativity. Emily’s days are exactly how she describes them: lively, colorful, and crazy.
In this episode, we cover:
Morning Rhythms: Cozy family wake-ups, coffee, lunch prep, and why morning walks with friends or her dog set the tone for her day.
Founder Life: The realities of running a 15-year-old remote-first company, back-to-back meetings, and the Ursa Major products she recommends for beginners.
Motherhood in Motion: School pickups, overscheduled seasons, Millie’s growing independence, and the after-school rush that always leads into 7 pm dinners.
Home & Routines: Favorite NYT weeknight recipes, Sunday waffle mornings, what she lets drop, and her simple approach to self-care.
Relationships & Community: Staying connected to friends through micro-moments and building a partnership with Oliver through walks, drives, and time outdoors.
Creativity & Joy: How she finds inspiration today, the magic of Vermont’s seasons, and her current cozy obsessions.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to build a mission-driven brand while raising a family, this episode is full of honesty, humor, and the relatable chaos working moms know all too well.
