In this episode, Monica Ruffo founder of Well Told Health Co, a Canadian-based natural supplement company talks about how her breast cancer diagnosis prompted her to reevaluate all of the products that she put in and on her body. She quickly realized that the word ‘natural’ on product labels was an unregulated claim and that even pharmacists couldn’t read the ingredients of some health products. Thus, Well Told Health Co was born.

She made it her mission to create a truly natural and plant-based supplement company, that operates in a highly regulated industry and has achieved explosive growth in the last 3 years since inception, with products on shelves in 2023 stores in Canada, recent expansion into the US, and became a publicly traded company in Q4 of 2021 The Well Told Company (TSXV: WLCO).

Monica’s inspiring story of how she left her successful corporate job to create this business will leave you feeling inspired and like anything is possible. Monica has been featured in top news publications, and has product’s listed on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, which have exploded Well Told’s growth in the last 18 months.

In this episode, I explain how one simple financial decision that I made recently, left me feeling judged, insecure, and misunderstood by my family and friends.

Let's face it, not everyone is going to agree with our decisions, and not just our financial decisions. We put so much emphasis and energy into trying to please the people around us, that their disapproval can leave us feeling disheartened, anxious and questioning our own ability to make decisions for ourselves. Every person has their own story, and knowing that your story and their story will never be the same, is an important lesson in taking back your control and sense of self.

I explain some of the thought processes I went through and how you can change your response towards the opinions of others.
