I am a BIG fan of women in business who create and deliver impact in the wellness category simply because our health is our wealth.  What we place into our bodies and on our skin truly does make a difference to our life force. 

In 2001, Vanessa Megan Gray Lyndon, founder and formulator of Vanessa Megan™, was inspired by a comment from her best friend that ‘you should never put anything on your skin you wouldn’t eat.’

This simple concept motivated extensive research into biochemistry and led Vanessa to the discovery of the multitude of synthetic materials found in the products we use on our bodies every day. Studying the power of natural extracts and oils, she began creating skincare and perfume from natural, wild harvested and bio-available ingredients transforming an idea into a multi-award winning brand.

One of my favourite quotes from Vanessa in this interview is “I always say to myself if there's an opportunity, I don't want to be sitting on my rocking chair at 80 thinking what if, what if I did that? Because I can't blame anyone - you know, just get off your bottom and trust that intuition and do it.’

Topics discussed:

1) What it meant to be a model in her formative years taking risks to win campaigns alongside supermodels including Claudia Schiffer.

2) How to gain self confidence from a young age and transform this into your wisdom wand in your 40s and 50s.

4) How Vanessa transformed her wellness knowledge into a global brand for women by trusting her intuition.

5) What her next powerful step as a global innovator for women will be.

Vanessa and I met through the power of a connection and community.  You can learn how you can build your own powerful, personal brand message and amplify your global network by signing up for our online Network Like a Pro Masterclass for $99.
