What inspired your journey into business?

Regarding my music career: I always loved music, so although I really did not seek it out, the business found me. I happened to be working with a temp agency that sent me to Capitol Records A&R department and the rest is history. My wellness business was born out of necessity, and at full disclosure, vanity. I was no longer working in the music business, so I had more time to devote to fitness and wellness in general, which I had dabbled in throughout my music executive career. After having a long career in entertainment, I wanted to make a living at something I enjoyed and had a passion for. Wellness is my passion.

What steps did you take to start your business?

I am still taking steps! Lol. It is a never-ending journey. Social media played an important part in getting started. Realizing people were genuinely inspired and motivated by my journey. Also, through working in the entertainment industry, I know plenty of successful individuals who have given me sound advice on being an entrepreneur. Moreover, I am always soaking up information. I am also inspired by other wellness entrepreneurs. Since being a wellness influencer and entrepreneur encompasses doing much more than one thing, I am always making connections to grow and broaden my business.
