How To Be Soft and Loud in Your Entrepreneurship Journey with Michelle Wolber & Elena Klöser

In this episode of Women Lead, host Nadia Koski sits down with longtime friends turned business partners Michelle Wolber and Elena Klöser, the dynamic duo behind the wellness brand and podcast “zart und laut” (meaning “soft and loud”). Recorded during the midst of a major rebrand, this episode captures the behind-the-scenes energy of launching something bold and meaningful into the world.

Michelle and Elena open up about the evolution of their 14-year friendship into a business rooted in trust, the non-negotiables of good sleep and well-being practices, and their mission to build an authentic, multifaceted brand that speaks to different generations with equal clarity and care.

From podcasting strategy and social media struggles to redefining wellness and navigating imperfection, this conversation is filled with honesty, actionable insights, and a refreshing dose of the real-world scenarios that occur when launching a new business with your best friend.
