It's Written in the Stars: The Path to Finding Her Passion and Business with Nicole Kirkpatrick

Season 2 · Episode 38

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 56:56

In today’s episode, we’re excited to chat with Nicole Kirkpatrick, founder and owner of Lunah Life, and a woman whose journey has taken her on a meandering path filled with adventure and personal growth. With dreams of becoming the editor of Vogue, Nicole initially attended Ryerson University in Toronto, ON for fashion, but life had other plans for her. After a unique opportunity to travel and serve across the country, she decided to shake things up by moving to India for a different pace of life. Nicole’s early adult years were quite interesting and a bit rebellious...so, armed with a Lonely Planet Guide and a sense of adventure, she left home and didn’t return for a remarkable five years! During her travels, Nicole founded a clothing company called Hazel Jane, allowing her to support her passion for exploration and new experiences. Little did she know that life would eventually lead her back home to London, ON, where she would raise a family and establish a thriving business! Along the way, her interest in skincare evolved. After training in wholistic aesthetics and wholistic nutrition, Nicole opened her own nutrition business. Ultimately, her passion for wholistic health led her to create a natural skincare line, focusing on products that nourish the skin from the inside out. In our enlightening conversation, Nicole shares three essential things everyone should incorporate into their skincare routine to promote skin health. She provides practical tips for taking care of your skin starting early in the day, emphasizing the importance of setting aside time for self-care. It’s no surprise that Nicole’s dedication and hard work paid off, as one of her products was awarded the prestigious titles of Breakthrough Product of the Year and Toner of the Year on the Think Dirty App for 2023! Nicole also opens up about her decision to close her brick-and-mortar store in January 2024, reflecting on her vision for the business, the challenges faced during the pandemic, and how she leveraged social media and education to grow her following and maintain engagement, despite the strict restrictions on retail operations. Today, Lunah Life products can be found in 35 locations, with the main retailer in London being Purdy Natural. To stay connected with Nicole and Lunah Life, you can find her on Instagram @lunahlife or visit her website at lunahlife.com for more information.

Yolanda’s journey into the world of medical aesthetics began after her career in emergency medicine as a nurse. She loves being a part of her clients' journeys and brings out their natural beauty, ensuring they leave feeling empowered, beautiful, and confident in their own skin. After moving away from London for her studies and career, Yolanda made the heartfelt decision to return home to be closer to her family. With her deep-rooted connections from growing up in London, she opened her clinic in May 2021 while pregnant with her second child, and on the very first day she opened her online booking system, she received an incredible 96 bookings! Yolanda shares her marketing strategies leading up to the opening of Skin Sunday, highlighting the effectiveness of Instagram as a platform to reach potential clients. Just six months after opening, she welcomed her second baby, relying on a close friend and employee to help manage her growing clientele. However, she faced a challenge when crippling postpartum anxiety hit a few months after returning to work. Yolanda candidly discusses her experience and how she coped with the anxiety, revealing that “the veil lifted” about eight months postpartum, after getting help and making positive lifestyle changes, including incorporating more exercise into her routine. Throughout our discussion, we emphasize the importance of hiring help to alleviate the burden and allow her business to flourish. Yolanda acknowledges the difficulty in letting go of control and finding the right people who reflect the values of her business.

Season 2 · Episode 35

Thursday, November 7, 2024 • Duration 21:01

In today’s episode, Alex and Chauntelle share their takeaways from a recent real estate conference they attended in London. They reflect on what an excellent opportunity it was to learn new insights and connect with familiar faces in the industry. Attending local conferences like this is a great reminder of the importance of stepping away from our daily routines to invest time in ourselves and our businesses. They reflect on how attending the event served as a great reminder that even successful people—those who may seem out of reach or “better” than us—are often just like you and me. They tackle the common challenges we all face, revealing that these individuals have been through similar experiences at different points in their lives, so there’s no need to feel intimidated! One important lesson from the conference was the value of making time for the people and activities that matter most to us. Just because someone appears busy doesn’t mean they won’t have time for you; in fact, it’s often the busiest individuals who manage their time effectively and carve out moments for connection. Alex and Chauntelle highlight how moms in particular excel at organizing their time, making sure they make time for what truly matters. Join them as they share these insights and more, leaving you with inspiration and practical tips while reminding you that behind every successful person is a relatable journey. Tune in to hear how embracing these opportunities can lead to transformative changes in your business!

The Risk-Reward Balance: Corporate Safety vs. Entrepreneurial Freedom

Season 2 · Episode 31

Thursday, October 24, 2024 • Duration 25:31

In today’s episode, Chauntelle and Alex dive into the differences between stability and uncertainty in the working world. They explore the perceived comfort of a 9-5 corporate job—often seen as safe and cushy—versus the exhilarating yet daunting journey of entrepreneurship. While a corporate position typically comes with a salary ceiling, the freedom of owning your business offers limitless earning potential, opening doors to financial possibilities you may not have considered! They then discuss the lifestyle differences that accompany each path, highlighting the pros and cons of both, and emphasize the importance of confronting your fears and having faith that, with dedication to the systems, schedules, and goals you set for yourself, you can find—or even CREATE—financial success. One of the most liberating aspects of entrepreneurship is the ability to craft your own schedule, but they also stress the necessity of maintaining discipline and focus in this newfound freedom. Chauntelle and Alex share practical tips for shifting your mindset from fear to faith, asserting that “where there is fear and discomfort, the greatest growth happens.” They encourage listeners who may not feel ready to jump into full-time entrepreneurship right away to consider taking a part-time plunge or joining a small business team, allowing you to gradually familiarize yourself with the entrepreneurial landscape. Whether you’re contemplating a leap into business ownership or simply looking for inspiration to push through your fears, this episode offers thoughtful insights to help light your way! Tune in for a motivating chat that might just inspire your next big move.

In today’s episode, we have the pleasure of talking with Courtney and Emilie, the passionate and charismatic founders behind Camps n’ Rec Kids! This inspiring pair met just a few years ago and instantly forged a strong connection. It was their mutual need for a change of pace that brought them to a tennis class, allowing them to meet. We learn about what was happening in their lives that led them to prioritize self-care when they met. Together, we chat about how society often expects women—especially moms—to be master multitaskers, juggling everything at once. However, we emphasize that humans aren’t designed to do it all. We reference the insightful book The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, which offers a fresh perspective on identifying priorities that help us move forward without feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, we dive into the origin story of Camps n’ Rec Kids, exploring how the idea blossomed and how their first iteration has evolved into what it is today.

The Illusion of Perfection: Real Talk on Life's Challenges

Season 2 · Episode 29

Thursday, October 17, 2024 • Duration 25:37

In today's episode, Alex and Chauntelle dive into the topic of perfectionism and why pretending that everything is perfect can be detrimental—not just for ourselves but for our friends, family, and society too. We all know that nobody is perfect, and no one's life is without its challenges. That’s why we believe that getting a little raw and honest about our journeys, especially during tough times, is just as vital—if not more so—than sharing our good moments. As they open up on the show, Alex and Chauntelle share their own real and raw stories of imperfection and those times when they felt like they just couldn’t do it all, reminding listeners that everyone has their struggles, even if they don’t always show them. We touch on the issue of social media, where curated images often lead us to believe in unattainable ideals of perfection. It’s essential to recognize that most people are dealing with their own difficulties while striving to maintain a facade of control and success. In our chat, we emphasize the importance of compassion and understanding, encouraging everyone to resist the urge to judge or compare themselves to the polished versions of others. We want our listeners to feel validated in their experiences and know that it’s perfectly okay to have moments of chaos amidst the perceived perfection. Please join us in this candid conversation, and let’s embrace the messiness of life together!
