Episode 01: Kristi Stuart
For a woman who “…never thought I would be an entrepreneur – ever!” Kristi Stuart has most definitely proved herself wrong several times over. A competitive dancer as a child, Kristi had planned to travel the world dancing on cruise ships until a car accident majorly altered her course.
Fast forward to a degree in molecular biology and biochemistry, a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, marriage, and motherhood, which leads to Barre Belle Studios's creation. “Lightening in a bottle” is how Kristi describes it as she vulnerably shares the highs and pandemic-induced lows of building a wildly successful, female-owned and operated national fitness studio brand. Openly and honestly, Kristi speaks to the emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial trauma of the fallout.
Not one to be kept down, and frankly also recognizing that she needed a new revenue stream, Kristi turned back to her love of science, health and connecting with women to launch not one but two new businesses – Blueprint by Kristi and Inner Wellth Supplements.
Join Kristi and me as she shares not only her entrepreneurial journey but her personal one as well. She is honest and raw, passionate and determined. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this conversation; I hope you do too.
