Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cheyenne Burnett, Founder of MYMOOD Vitamins, located in Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
THE MISSION OF MYMOOD® Vitamins is to help moms experiencing Postpartum Anxiety and Depression take back control of their mood and enjoy the postpartum phase without medication.
We help new moms regain that feeling of normal, have fewer mood swings, experience less irritability, get better sleep, have more patience, and even be a better mom because, let's face it, if you're in a better mood, your kids get a better version of you.
We transform your relationship with postpartum by offering the best information and a one-of-a-kind, all-natural supplement formulated with over 25 different vitamins, herbs, and minerals traditionally used to alleviate mood swings, irritability, insomnia, restlessness, wildly intrusive thoughts, fatigue, and yes, even hair loss.
We know we are successful each time MYMOOD Vitamins battle postpartum depression and anxiety symptoms, so the mom taking them doesn't have to.
Tell us about yourself
As a new mom, more than once, I felt totally blindsided by the entire postpartum period. I knew life after having my son would be different, but it was hard for me, as a first-time mom, to wrap my head around just HOW different.
I thought, "This is an amazing, joyous time in my life; how could I possibly be THAT overwhelmed by all the changes that come with it?" But the reality is no conversation I had prepared me for the sleep deprivation, the feeding struggles, the baby blues, wildly intrusive thoughts, or the postpartum anxiety and depression… not even conversations with my doctor.
It only took a few days after delivery for me to experience a severe shift in my mood that it felt like all the joy in the world spilled out of me. When I called my doctor, things only got worse for me because the solution I was offered was to meet with a therapist (when they could fit me in) and discuss antidepressants.
I was having a full-on breakdown; I needed something or someone to help me NOW, not at their next available appointment time. I definitely didn't want to have to take antidepressants if I didn't have to because I had been prescribed them in the past, and I hated how they made me feel.
I thought there had to be another way to overcome what I was feeling. I refused to accept that those were my only two options. So I started researching all-natural solutions for my postpartum anxiety and depression symptoms. After a year of some serious pushing (pun intended), MYMOOD® Vitamins was born! The first EVER all-natural supplement designed specifically to reduce the symptoms of both mild and moderate Postpartum Anxiety and Postpartum Depression.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Taking my personal struggle, creating an actual solution, and then using that solution to create an entire business dedicated to serving new moms all over the world is absolutely at the top of the list of things I am most proud of in my life.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Owning your own business is kind of like having a new baby. Without your constant attention, focus, and love, they suffer...
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Only start a business if what you sell serves the people you are selling it to.
- If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
- If you give more than you expect to receive back, your customers will notice, and your business will thrive.
