Tina Yau | Swapping Paychecks for Purpose at Fifty

Ready to meet your next favorite inspiration? In this finale episode of the Diana Prince Podcast, Angela Acosta sits down with Tina Yao—former global retail exec and now founder of Tyvy, a travel bag brand for women who live life in motion. Tina reveals how burnout at the peak of her career—and hitting the big 5-0—motivated her to swap corporate security for entrepreneurship. She didn’t just redesign her life; she designed the bag she always needed but could never find: chic, organized, made for working women who never stop moving.

Tune in for the real-talk about starting over (even when it’s scary), leaning on your community, and building a business from scratch. Tina shares the honest highs and real challenges—from wrangling overseas manufacturers to finding her tribe outside the boardroom—and why it’s never too late to claim a second act that feels authentically YOU. Plus, Angela and Tina bond over Ziploc pouches, morning runs, and the freedom that comes with finally backing your own dream.

If you’re craving encouragement to rewrite your own story or itching to start something new, you’ll find practical advice, relatable struggles, and a wave of support right here. And if you’re tired of bags (and lives) that just don’t fit—all we can say is: Tyvy’s got you.

As always, this episode is part of the movement to support extraordinary women with Angela Atelier’s signature photographic empowerment and The Gal Project’s rallying cry for bold, ambitious, fierce women everywhere. We’re not just telling stories; we’re building a community where every woman claims her wonder.
