Summary
This week, I'm sitting down with the incredible Courtney Smith, a former stay-at-home mom who turned her kitchen creations into a multi-million-dollar business! Courtney is the founder and CEO of Cristina's Curls, an organic hair and skincare line for children, inspired by her own daughter's battle with cradle cap and eczema.
In this episode, Courtney takes us through her journey from whipping up natural remedies in her kitchen to running a full-blown business with a dedicated team. We dive deep into the challenges of scaling a product-based business, the importance of communication in marriage and business, and how to stay true to your brand’s values—even when the big retail stores come knocking.
Whether you're a mama, a mogul, or somewhere in between, Courtney's story is sure to inspire you to stop playing with your potential and start making your dreams a reality.
