This episode is a must-listen if you are feeling overwhelmed by the events in the world and/or in your personal life. I really try to share tools and tips in this episode to help you find calm within the chaos and ways manifest in times of uncertainty.

Finding calm within chaos is a practice I have been working on for the last six months. This last week I got put to the test in more ways than one. Finding calm within the chaos has been vital because the chaos isn't going anywhere. Last week was also difficult to get back into the new year routine/vision boarding and manifestation. Taking a new approach of detached manifestation and goal setting has motivated to set those plans even if they don't work out the way I anticipate them to.

Her juicing soon became a flow blown business better known as Suja Juice. After she sold her portion of Suja to Coca-Cola, Lawless started her second business Lawless Beauty. As a makeup junkie, Lawless was unable to find high pigmented products that were clean. Lawless Beauty is now in Sephora stores nationwide and online. Entrepreneurship isn't always glamorous though. Lawless shares on this episode of I Suck At Life everything she has learned from being a two-time entrepreneur and how she still finds work-life balance with her busy schedule.

Anastasia Soare came to America from Romania without speaking a word of English, but she had a vision of what the makeup and brow industry needed and now is widely referred to as one of makeup's top beauty innovators. Long before professional eyebrow shaping became an essential beauty ritual, she was the go-to beauty specialist for top celebrities and has singlehandedly turned perfect brows and youthful eyes into essential accessories. Anastasia's comprehensive approach to beauty has led to the development of her unique Youthful Synergy™ products, which lift and firm the appearance of the skin using innovative ingredients. Anastasia revolutionized the way the world looked at brows and her daughter, Norvina, is following in her footsteps with makeup. Anastasia and Norvina join Yola in discussing how they grew Anastasia Beverly Hills into a billion-dollar makeup empire and how they used social media to introduce and teach consumers how to use everything from their brow products to their beloved contouring and eye palettes. Norvina's latest collection for the brand consists of vibrant and colorful palettes based on her personal makeup aesthetic.

Julie Smolyansky is a mother, author, activist, humanitarian, and is the youngest female CEO of a publicly-traded company as she became the CEO of Lifeway Foods at the age of 27. Grounded in mindfulness, Julie is passionate about empowering the mind-gut connection through making healthy food choices, community and business innovation. Julie joins Yola to talk about her family's journey of turning an ancient superfood, Kefir, into a multimillion-dollar sensation loved by so many Americans. Once Julie took over as company CEO she was able to take the company valuation from $12 million to over $120 million in a few short years. Yola and Julie also discuss her advocacy work with sexual assault and abuse victims including her latest documentary "On The Record." 

About Lifeway Foods: The Lifeway story begins in 1986, when Russian immigrants Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky began making Kefir in the basement of their Skokie, IL home. The cultured dairy drink had been popular in Eastern Europe for centuries, but the Smolyansky family was determined to share
their delicious health secret with their newfound home. Two years later, they took the company public and it debuted on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol LWAY. Since its humble basement beginnings many years ago, Lifeway Foods has now grown into the largest manufacturer of Kefir in the United States and has brought the delicious taste and probiotic health benefits of Kefir to a whole new generation. Visit Lifewayfoods.com to learn more about Kefir.
