Today’s guest shares the raw, unfiltered story of building a product-based business from the ground up — with zero experience in social media, e-commerce, or logistics. Jeanne Retief is the founder of Figgi Beauty, a skincare brand for people with sensitive skin and anxious minds — and the road here hasn’t been easy.

In this episode, we talk about:

The emotional toll of building a business with panic disorder

The constant challenges and lessons from her first two years in business

How stress triggers skin issues — and what most brands get wrong

Why Figgi is truly different: fragrance-free, essential oil-free, and rooted in science

The powerful South African herb in every product

The freedom that comes from letting go of hustle culture

This is an honest look at the messy, beautiful middle of entrepreneurship. If you're in the thick of it — navigating self-doubt, slow growth, and emotional burnout — you'll want to tune in. Free 5 Day Business Reset Workbook Connect with Jeanne Figgi Beauty
