So it's been 53 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: helping me to be a bit more brave lately, if 54 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: that makes sense. 55 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: Oh, I love that and it is so true. And 56 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: I think also, you know, peeking back off that. Something 57 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: I've been thinking a lot about lately too is this 58 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: concept of growth. Yeah, never feels comfortable, and often if 59 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: you're uncomfortable, it's either because you're growing in some department 60 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: or you're staying stuck. And I think when we realize 61 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: that and we can really lean into that is, yeah, 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: what the magic happens? 63 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: One that probably explains why I've been feeling so uncomfortable lately. 64 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: Keep going, girlfriend, just it gets better. So for the 65 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: listeners who don't know who you are, can you give 66 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: us a little snapshot of who Maddie is, what she does, 67 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: what she stands? 68 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 4: For sure? 69 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: So I'm twenty six years old.

But yeah, it's just insane. It's 150 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: like especially like commercial, mainstream, commercial perfumes, it's like over 151 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: three hundred chemicals in like a bottle of perfume. That's 152 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: just insane. 153 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 2: And also I think, like you know, realizing our skin 154 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: is our biggest organ anything that's put on it, it absorbs, 155 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: so it's so so like it makes sense that you know, 156 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 2: your skin then absorbs those chemicals and that's. 157 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: What could be you know, causing certain issues. 158 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: And mad's just to let you know, I've been using 159 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 2: your bliss throughout my whole pregnancy. 160 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: So awesome.

In almost being patient but specific, Yeah, 293 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: one for sure. And so tell us about some of 294 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: the biggest lessons that you have learned with starting your 295 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: own biz. 296 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: Ah, there's so many. 297 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: Give us a couple. 298 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like, for me personally, I had no background 299 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: in any of this. This is like such a if 300 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: I knew what I knew, Like, if I knew now 301 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: what I knew back then, like I probably wouldn't have 302 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: started it because it's like so overwhelming. But if you 303 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: I feel like, if you can't stop thinking about something, 304 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: which is how I felt about this business, then one 305 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 306 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 4: Like give it everything you've got. But like for me, 307 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 4: we started, you know, with a certain budget, and perfume 308 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: is not cheap, like it's not one of those products 309 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 4: that's just you know, on the cheaper side. 310 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: So we spent you know, the majority of our budget 311 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: on the physical products itself, so it didn't leave us 312 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: a lot for like marketing or photography or you know, 313 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: like website or like those kinds of things. So if 314 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: I could go back, I probably would have you know, 315 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: ordered less and put more money into marketing or yeah, 316 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: those kinds of things. So that's definitely, yeah, looking back, 317 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: that's definitely my biggest lesson. 318 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 319 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: I think that's actually a bit of a running theme 320 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: on the podcast is I was I know, I was 321 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 2: speaking to the Ellen Roe girls who said, yeah, they 322 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: invested like quite a bit of money in the website 323 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: and the product, and then they were like, oh, we 324 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: need we need money for marketing. 325 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's something you don't think about, like not really, 326 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: it's a. 327 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: Bit of an it's a bit of an afterthought one 328 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 2: hundred percent. And also, were you kind of using the 329 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: business model of obviously you like you're saying the perfume 330 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: was on the more expensive side, so you would have 331 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 2: to invest, sell that and then continue to invest. 332 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And it's still like it's still that way today. 333 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: We're just constantly, you know, investing back into the business 334 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: because like I think also because we went from we 335 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: went from six products originally and now we have twenty 336 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: one different products. 337 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 4: So it's inn like a constant money putting back in 338 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 4: for new products. 339 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: And I just think, like I don't think I think 340 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: it was a little bit naive on how much product 341 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: would cost. So yeah, I definitely maybe you should have 342 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: done a bit more research on that front. But it's 343 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: all been like such a big learning experience, and I 344 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't take it back.

Did you know that age twenty five, 391 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then 392 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: that amount decreases every single year. So this is important 393 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ 394 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 2: is made up of seventy five percent collagen and guy's 395 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: collagen is just a protein. So it does make sense 396 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: why we start seeing signs of aging around this time. 397 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: And this is why we called our collagen the beauty 398 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 2: elixa because it really is a beauty supplement that is 399 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 2: going to help you glow from the inside out.

But more than that, collagen is 403 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: such an important building block to so many parts of 404 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: our body. So not only is your skin going to glow, 405 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: your hair and nails grow, but it's also going to 406 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: help with your gut health and we all know how 407 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: important that is.

So it was like a lot and I 451 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: felt like my heart wasn't, you know, completely where it 452 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: should have been. And I think from the very beginning, 453 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: you know, I always knew I wanted to do it 454 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: full time. So I left that job and I went 455 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: and did like a part time cafe job, and yeah, 456 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: so I was just kind of like waiting around to 457 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: see when would be the right time. But I think 458 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: that's really difficult when you own your own business to 459 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: try to figure out, you know, when is the best time. 460 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 4: Because I feel like there's never the perfect time. 461 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: And I was always just like very afraid to make 462 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: that leap. And it just so happened that my husband 463 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: actually got this like job that he had to like 464 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: we had to move to Palm Island, which is very 465 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: very far away from us and very like secluded and isolated, 466 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my gosh, what am I 467 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: going to do? I can't get a job in Palm Island, 468 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: So I'll have to quit my job here and I'll 469 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: have to do my business full time. And I was 470 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: like in that mindset, like I'm just going to make 471 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: it work.

Like I love like hit style training and 645 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: like even like a dance cardio, which is why I 646 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: do it so much now. 647 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 4: I love it. 648 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: It brings me like a lot of joy. But it 649 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: almost like became a bit of an obsession. So I was, 650 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, so focused on losing weight because that was like, 651 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, if you lost weight in the dance industry, 652 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: it's like withoo, good job. So that was kind of 653 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: like instilled in me. And it got to the point 654 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: where like I had a menorrhea and lost my period 655 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: because I had you know, like I was overtraining and 656 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: I had. 657 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 4: Severe a dream or fatigue. I was diagnosed with. 658 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: That shortly after, and I was like all of the 659 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: signs that my body was giving me to just like 660 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: slow down, I completely ignored. So I've really slowly changed 661 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: the way that I view fitness and health and I'm 662 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: at such a much better place now. And it's like, 663 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: it's funny because like my weight has fluctuated so much, 664 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: especially with ENDO and pcos, like you can weight gain 665 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: is like a part of that. So I had to 666 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: be like okay in my body with it changing. And yeah, 667 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: when you like get to this point where you look 668 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: at health and fitness as like more of our a 669 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: tool where you can you know, it helps your mental 670 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: health or it just makes you feel better, I like 671 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: I was fitter way more easily than when I was 672 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: like really trying to lose weight. So yeah, I'm really 673 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: glad that I'm at this like really good place now. 674 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: But it's been like, oh my gosh, So that was 675 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: like twenty thirteen to now is being that long journey. 676 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's been a lot. 677 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 2: A hundred And I think you can really see that 678 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 2: from your social media. Like what I get from you 679 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: every time I watch your stories or you working out 680 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 2: is you can see you have really developed this like 681 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: love for health and fitness rather than because you have to. 682 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 2: And you can really see that self acceptance in there too, 683 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: which I love. And So for anyone who's struggling to 684 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 2: balance the health and fitness and you know, their career 685 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: or their new business, what advice would you have for them? 686 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: So I think like I would really go back to 687 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: basics and focus on like the basic things, Like I 688 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: would focus on, you know, like the way that you're 689 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: moving does it make you happy? Like are you doing 690 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: it because you want to lose weight? Or are you 691 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: doing it because yeah, you really enjoy it? And like 692 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: the kind of movement you're doing, do you actually enjoy 693 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: it or are you just doing it because you think 694 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: that you have to? And like saying with you know, 695 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: like it is really the most basic things like are 696 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: you drinking enough water? And the food that you're eating, 697 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, is it are you like restricting yourself or 698 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: are you just eating the food that makes you happy, 699 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: gives you energy, makes you like not feel bloated and gross. 700 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: I think it's just going back to simplifying everything rather 701 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: than trying to make everything so complicated, because I know 702 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: that I've done that, like specifically in my fitness journey. 703 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: I definitely there's so much like information out there that 704 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: it can be like so overwhelming. So I just think 705 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: focus on yourself, take it one step at a time, 706 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: and don't overwhelm yourself with all this outside noise that 707 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: you know is so prevalent, especially like on social media, 708 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: it can get really overwhelming. So just like listen to 709 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: what your body's telling you because it knows best. 710 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 2: I love that advice, like simple is better, and I 711 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: think you do.
