Yin and Yang: How do you balance work and family?
This is a really big one for us. Especially as it involves practising what we preach.
Implementing a routine that ensures at least part of your day is dedicated to YOU and your wellness is crucial. Because the reality is we’re busy and have a lot of other commitments, starting small is key. It can even be as small a thing as 5 minutes in the morning for meditation, a 10-minute walk around the block, drinking enough water, or, of course, taking your supplements to ensure you’re getting your nutrient needs.
What’s so great about this last one is that it’s SO easy and the benefits really are so huge when we have enough nutrients, boosting everything from your mood to your energy and supporting your precious sleep.
The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
We’ve overcome a lot but that’s the nature of being innovative and challenging the status quo. There are always setbacks, pivots and iterations. Luckily though, we’ve always had our core, which is education and support you can trust and quality nutrition. When we stick to our true North, we’re able to really help more people and live into our core purpose more.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
While BePure isn’t ‘my business’ (I’m the General Manager and I have an incredible team that helps us do what we do), what I will say is an absolute pro is being so passionate about what I do.
Being in the business of transforming people’s wellness and lives is a pretty cool business to be in. Hearing the results our customers and clients get every day is such a boost – it often even makes me cry joy tears! Whether it’s having the energy to play with their kids again, getting over their hurdles with anxiety, losing that stubborn weight that’s been holding them back, fixing their gut and digestion, the list goes on, it’s all stuff that’s literally changing people’s lives and I love it.
On the flip side, being passionate about what you do can also mean you put way too much of yourself into it. So I’m constantly having to make sure I take my own advice and look after my own wellness and the wellness of our team too!
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I often feel like BePure is New Zealand’s best kept secret. Even looking globally, I haven’t really found anyone else that does what we do and how we do it. We don’t just have an amazing supplement range; we also have this incredible clinic and an incredible library of wellness education and knowledge to crack open and share with the world.
I’m really excited to introduce BePure to the world and get every New Zealander passionate about their wellness through getting to know us too.
