Priscilla Johnson began her entrepreneur journey upon overcoming 6 years of struggling with skincare. She wanted to help other women learn how to live holistic lifestyles that support their skin and overall health. In the episode, she shares how working with her clients has reinforced her discovery that health, clarity, and self-esteem can all build on each other.

I absolutely loved speaking with Priscilla about her journey in business, health, and life. We spoke about her preparations for European travel, a discussion which we continued after the episode wrapped. Priscilla also shares some of her best tips for up and coming entrepreneurs!

SHOWNOTES

(3:50) Priscilla: I have always had acne problems on my back, neck, and face.
(7:45) I found through my 6-year journey that not one of the professionals I saw ever spoke about nutrition or activity levels.
(8:15) I went to school for nutrition, and I learned that how much nutrition plays a role in acne.
(8:55) I took my knowledge from school and decided to become an entrepreneur to help other people through their skin care journey.
(9:35) Jackie shares her own skin care journey.
(11:11) Priscilla: Starting my business, I thought I could just start a blog and people would find me.
(12:22) I’m an introvert and starting a business you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone.
