This week we spill the tea with Amy Simpson, a midlife entrepreneur and co-founder of Nudi Spray. She wasn't looking to start a business. She was just sick of scrubbing glue marks off her skin every time she peeled off an HRT patch.
A dancer turned florist turned entrepreneur, Amy shares what it actually takes to pivot in midlife, and why you don't need to feel "business-shaped" to build something that works.
In this episode we ask Amy:
- How did your dancing career start, and what was touring life like? Any favourite celeb stories?
- Was stepping back from dancing to raise your family a difficult decision?
- How did your eye for design develop through the florist and visual merchandising chapters?
- What was your own experience of menopause, and what was the moment the HRT patch glue became "there has to be a better way"?
- What did the learning curve look like when you're not a "business-shaped person", and what's been the hardest part of building a business from scratch?
- What did the Davina McCall call mean for you?
- What's it been like watching Nudi spread through word of mouth and social, and what's next?
We are still on a high from our book launch, we talk a bit more about that and Jinty has found some interesting research on placenta’s and an erection after prostate cancer…!
Stick around for some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week.
