How I Built a Business Around Products I Actually Use

Ever held yourself back because you were afraid of what people might think? Yeah, same. In this episode, I’m finally talking about something I’ve danced around for years—my journey with Monat, network marketing, and why I changed my mind.

I used to believe that if a product wasn’t sold in high-end salons, it wasn’t good. I also thought MLMs weren’t for me. But after 24 years in the beauty industry (and experiencing my own hair struggles), I started asking different questions. What if I was wrong? What if I was letting fear make decisions for me?

So, I’m breaking it all down. The good, the bad, and why I’m finally ready to talk about it. If you’re curious about Monat, building a side income, or just getting over the fear of showing up, this episode is for you.

What We Cover:
