Summary

Get ready to be inspired and to believe your dreams are possible, because they are! Today in this very special new episode, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, interviews me today and we have SUCH an incredible conversation I truly hope fills your soul today! We talk about insights and stories I’ve never shared before…from when I was a waitress at Denny’s with big dreams but a lot of self-doubt, to starting IT Cosmetics in my living room, getting hundreds of no's for years, to eventually getting 1 yes that changed everything. How after years of rejections and Nos, I got one chance live on QVC to present our products. I took an unprecedented risk to show women of all ages, shapes, skin tones, and sizes, as her models, and the rest is history. In 2016, we sold the IT Cosmetics to L’Oréal for $1.2 Billion in cash, a deal that made me the first female CEO of a brand in L’Oreal’s 100+ year history. This special episode first aired on Meghan’s podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder and I’m so excited to share it with you today!
