This week, I’m honored to share space with Dr. Jeanne-Mari Retief—a woman whose story redefines strength, grace, and purpose.

A renowned human rights expert, Jeanne’s 2015 diagnosis of Panic Disorder led her to reevaluate everything—including a career she once lived and breathed. What followed was a powerful reinvention: she founded FIGGI Life & Beauty, a brand and platform for women who crave authenticity over perfection.

But Jeanne’s journey didn’t stop there. Recently, she faced significant personal trauma—yet she continues to show up with intention, vulnerability, and fierce resilience in every part of her life. Her story is a reminder that healing is not linear, and power doesn’t mean having it all figured out.

We discuss: 💥 The courage to walk away from a career that no longer serves you 🌿 Building skincare for sensitive skin and sensitive souls 🧠 Why it’s okay not to be okay—and how to create space for others who feel the same 💫 How to keep showing up, even in the darkest moments

Jeanne is raw, real, and deeply inspiring. If you're navigating adversity or searching for meaning beyond the chaos, this episode will meet you where you are. 🎧
