Etsy has a large office in Dublin not far from…

In January, fans of canned fish smelled drama at Fishwife, a premium seafood brand aimed at “girls’ dinner”-obsessed millennials. Co-founded in late 2020 by friends Becca Milstein and Caroline Goldfarb, Fishwife transforms budget pantry items into gourmet daily snacks and stocks “shop-a-shop” alongside squeeze-out olive oil bottles and artisanal dried pastas. In three years, the company has landed features in several major publications, secured an adorable summer collection with Lisa Says-Garr, and projected annual sales of $5.8 million. So it wasn’t a surprise when Milstein,…

This essay is based on a conversation with Anu Verma, a 44-year-old trauma recovery coach who lives in Coventry, U.K. It has been edited for length and clarity.I met Rob while vacationing with friends in Ibiza, Spain in 2014.

Frankie Aniello I started painting at the age of 15. Word of mouth referrals supported my early career, then I worked in finance and marketing for the next 20 years before eventually returning to what makes me happiest: designing, painting and restoring.
