Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
Founded two businesses: Brush Beauty, a boutique beauty company, and FitJourney, an online community / app that helps people get in shape.
FitJourney is targeted towards overweight and obese people, and it helps them get healthy within a supportive space.
Says that although she's not qualified as a personal trainer, she's been on teams her whole life, feels passionate about helping people get fit.
When she realized she wanted to turn her hobby of doing makeup into her living, she took a three-month-long immersive class to hone her skills.
When she was 24, her mom passed away; that changed her perspective on life, "big" things suddenly seemed small.
What became most important were the things that made her feel good, and the things that allowed her to help others.
Gained 80 pounds when her mother got sick, then slowly got back into fitness through spinning and lifting; uses that experience to relate to FitJourney users.
Chalks up the success of FitJourney to the fact that she's "absurdly open" about her own experiences, never hides her weight or her struggles.
