What happens when pain becomes purpose?
In this powerful episode of The She Means Business Show, Ashley Holt sits down with Jessica Hoogendoorn, founder of the luxury wellness brand Eat2Live, to share the deeply personal story behind the products that left doctors shocked by their healing results.
Jessica opens up about the traumatic experiences that inspired her mission — including her daughter’s severe burns, her mother’s battle with skin cancer, and how those moments led her to create natural healing products rooted in both science and soul.
This conversation goes far beyond skincare. It’s about:
Turning pain into purpose
Building a purpose-driven luxury wellness brand
Natural healing & non-toxic living
Women’s empowerment & self-worth
Faith, resilience, and entrepreneurship
Creating generational impact through wellness
From trauma to transformation, Jessica’s story is a reminder that some of the most powerful businesses are born from life’s hardest moments.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women will experience physical violence from an intimate partner, and every single day, more than 20,000 calls are made to domestic violence hotlines across the U.S.
This is real—and it’s happening every day.
I’m sitting down with artist Kenzi Lewis. From performing in Kentucky bars at just five years old, to earning a golden ticket on American Idol, to her #1 song on Itunes—her journey is extraordinary.
As a survivor of domestic violence, Kenzi has taken some of the hardest chapters of her life and turned them into purpose and into music that gives other women a voice.
She’s already hit number one on iTunes, was named a Top 40 Artist to Watch in 2026 by Music Scene Magazine, Her upcoming release, “2 Can Play,” is dropping this Friday.
What happens when you finally build your life on a foundation of self-worth?
In this deeply powerful episode of The She Means Business Show, Ashley Holt sits down with Tiffany Alston, founder of Tenacious Lightworker, to explore the journey from shame to self-worth—and the healing required to truly rise.
Tiffany shares her story of overcoming deep-rooted self-worth struggles and how mindfulness, movement, and intentional healing became the foundation for her transformation. What began as a personal journey evolved into a purpose-driven mission to help other women reconnect with their truth, reclaim their worth, and live in alignment.
Together, Ashley and Tiffany dive into the real conversations women aren’t having enough—how shame shows up, how it holds us back, and how community, sisterhood, and radical accountability can become the catalyst for change.
Tiffany also introduces her perspective on navigating the “three-eye mind”—the irrational, idealistic, and idiosyncratic thoughts that shape our inner world—and how awareness of these patterns can unlock a new level of freedom and self-leadership.
This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t separate from success—it is the foundation of it.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, held yourself back, or felt like you weren’t ready yet… this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and show you what’s possible on the other side.
What happens when women stop forcing productivity and start regulating their nervous systems?
In this deeply resonant conversation, Ashley Holt sits down with Dr Remina Panjwani—a former military officer,physician, and devoted mom—to explore what it truly means for women, especially high-achieving women, to feel safe in their bodies, rooted in their self-worth, and aligned with their health. Together, they unpack how belief rewiring, nervous system regulation, and holistic women’s health intersect. Dr. Remina shares the personal and professional journey that led her to functional medicine and to the release of her powerful new book, "Odd Girl Out, Dr. Within, A Story of Purpose, Pillars, and Personal Power".
