The Emotional Story of Carleigh Bodrug’s EXPLOSIVE PlantYou Success | Ep. 173
Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
This episode is dedicated to food creators and entrepreneurs: how Carleigh Bodrug built PlantYou into a bestselling cookbook brand while privately grieving her mother's lung cancer death.
Carleigh grew PlantYou to 13 million followers while filming recipe videos from chemo waiting rooms. She signed her second book deal two weeks before her mom's diagnosis and kept the ordeal off social media.
Her debut cookbook sold out in two days and hit the New York Times list. She also covers the infographic photo formula, her Reels pivot, and why her 225,000-person email list beats any algorithm.
