What's your business, and who are your customers?
Radiate Wellness helps women navigate the changes of midlife through mind, body, & spirit. We created clean, affordable products, courses, and workouts for women to Radiate through perimenopause and menopause. Our products are physician formulated by a world-renowned hormone doctor. We have over-the-counter hormone replacement therapy and vitamins that women most need. Our courses and workouts are designed for women to look and feel their best.
Tell us about yourself
At 38 years old, no one told me I would feel like I was losing my mind, my periods would become unbearable, and I would start gaining weight. I felt like an alien had taken over my body, and I felt underlying anxiety. I brushed it off as stress, being a mom, and owning a business out of NYC with many employees. I felt like I needed to pretend I had it all together, but I was miserable. I suffered in silence until I finally broke and told a friend how I was feeling. She nonchalantly said, "it's your hormones. You are in Perimenopause." I had never heard that word. I was thinking, "How could I be in Menopause? I am only 38 years old." I started Dr. Randolph's natural progesterone cream, and within 2 weeks, I had my life back. I started Radiate Wellness to give every woman access to clean, affordable products. We don't have to suffer through aging.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is when women tell me I have changed their life. My mission is for all women to feel that midlife is a beautiful time of mental, physical, and spiritual growth.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Time is your biggest asset, so use it wisely. You never have enough time to learn everything, so figure out what's most important.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Positive mindset and attitude.
- Never give up! You will make mistakes; just brush yourself off and keep going.
- ASK for help! Find mentors and other like-minded women.
