In this episode of the RealTalk Podcast, my guest Kiki Rozema shares how a simple problem...led to the creation of her company and a movement.

Creating a brand around confidence takes courage - hear how she took her life’s mission to help others, from being a middle school teacher...to a confidence business - that happens to sell apparel for women!

Her philosophy is different from others

Her products are Eco friendly

Her POV is Inclusion - with sizing ranging from XXS to 3XL

In this episode you’ll hear insights about:

  • Investing in learning from people who are a few steps further along than you are

  • Hiring people who are better than you at specific roles/tasks - to free you up to do what you’re best at

  • Investing in yourself and your education - to grow and scale with more ease

  • Knowing your numbers and understanding where you are financially at all times

  • How making time for yourself is critical

Kiki also shares why she believes that mindset is everything - we all have experiences and choices that shape who we are, but our response is what creates our success.

RealTalk Moment: Hear how a traumatic and personal experience planted the seed that led to the formation of her company.

Kiki’s story really is the hero’s journey - you’ll be inspired and you’ll have some good laughs too!
