Passion to Profession: From Baker, to Teacher, to CEO of a Multi-Million Dollar Business — How Stephanie Garcia Built Mama Breaks

Stephanie Garcia started Mama Breaks while teaching from home and looking for a way to reconnect with cards.

Her first goal was to reach 1,000 Instagram followers and host one break. Four years later, she leads a 12-person, multimillion-dollar business.

Stephanie shares why she left teaching, how she earned trust with collectors, when she knew it was time to hire, and why the experience around a break matters as much as the cards.

She also explains how her love for wrestling, Star Wars, and non-sports cards helped Mama Breaks serve collectors who were being overlooked.

This is a conversation about risk, community, leadership, and sharing what you love with your kids.
