Diving In Headfirst: Building the Circle
When I decided to launch Full Circle: Beauty - Wellness - Nourishment, people often ask, "What was your master plan? What blueprint did you follow?" The honest answer? There wasn't one. I dove in headfirst, propelled by a burning conviction and a whole lot of lessons learned from simply doing.
You see, for years, I navigated a personal storm of undiagnosed ADHD, the bewildering shifts of perimenopause, and the exhaustion of career burnout. My body and mind were sending me urgent signals, but I just didn't have the map. I was learning about things like pelvic floor therapy and the profound impact of sugar on my system (yes, that was a revelation!) purely out of desperation for my own well-being. There was no manual for how to reclaim my health, much less how to then build a business around it.
Full Circle isn't just a business; it's the physical manifestation of that messy, often ungraceful, and intensely personal journey. Every "aha!" moment I had, every challenge I overcame – from healing a torn Achilles to embracing a completely new way of eating and living – fueled the fire to create a space where other women wouldn't have to navigate these waters alone.
There's no business school course on turning your personal health struggles into a holistic beauty, wellness, and nourishment brand. You learn by showing up, by listening, by trying, and sometimes, by failing forward. This "just do it" approach, born from my own necessity, is precisely what allows Full Circle to be so authentic and truly responsive to what women actually need. We're building this plane as we fly it, and that's exactly why it works.
