01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Work smarter, not harder. Especially in the wellness industry it's very easy to work for people that are not really operating in the way that they should, and to end up wasting a lot of time. I really believe in working smarter and not harder. Think about what you're making, is it worth it, what's the work you're putting in.
