846 Jeanne Retief: Heal from the Inside Out
How to Build a Growing Skincare Brand
If you’re an entrepreneur, you know the truth. Starting and growing your own business is like strapping yourself to a never-ending roller coaster.
Saying entrepreneurship is stressful is often an understatement, especially for a surprisingly high proportion of entrepreneurs who have experienced trauma in their lives. Yet entrepreneurship also offers a path to healing those traumas – and inspires many to create businesses that solve for others the challenges they themselves have faced.
Jeanne Retief built a human rights consultancy, working primarily with women who were experiencing significant adversity and stress. So was Jeanne, who developed a panic disorder, which she says she handled poorly by trying to ignore it and put on a brave face. Before long, her panic disorder also resulted in very dry and sensitive skin.
On a mission to help women find self-acceptance and prioritize their own self-care, Jeanne decided to draw on her certificate in cosmetic chemistry and launch a skin care brand Figgi Beauty and a growing community called Figgi Life.
- How to learn to accept yourself with honesty.
- What it took to create a reliable product for dry and sensitive skin.
- How to overcome panic disorder and navigate mental health and a successful entrepreneurial career.
- Why healing comes from the inside out.
- And much more.
