Make Yourself at Home

What does home mean to you? On Make Yourself at Home, host Kristin Twiford takes you into the homes of people you admire, to give you a window into who they really are. You’ll hear what drives them, what gives them a sense of purpose, how they unwind, and how they choose to spend their time meaningfully — but perhaps more importantly — their favorite room in the house, their guilty pleasures, and their most cherished possessions. Along the way, we hope to inspire you to live better, whatever that means to you. Make Yourself at Home is produced by Nines, the household management app that helps you live with ease.

Make Yourself at Home

How Loren Brill Castle Beat Cancer, Built the #1 Natural Cookie Dough Brand, and Created a Life Without Regrets

November 10, 2022 • Nines • Season 1 • Episode 8

You know Loren Brill Castle as the founder of Sweet Loren's — the #1 natural cookie dough brand found in 15,000 supermarkets across the United States.

But she never planned to disrupt the cookie dough aisle. At 22 years old, just after Loren graduated from college, she was diagnosed with cancer, and had to spend the next year going through treatment. She channeled all her energy into getting healthy, and along the way, developed a clean cookie dough recipe that even her picky eating little sister couldn’t get enough of. A year after her diagnosis, she was cancer free, and set out to live a life without regrets.

For this conversation, we're in Loren's home in Los Angeles, CA, talking about choosing which road to take when bad things happen, how to find work-life balance when your company’s mission is incredibly personal to you, finding a partner who understands the life of an entrepreneur, and what Loren has learned about living well on her path to success. Make Yourself at Home with Loren Brill Castle.
