Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Kitty Gonzalez, founder of Wherever Forever, located in Mexico City, Mexico.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Wherever Forever is an online wellness platform dedicated to helping individuals discover how they most want to spend their valuable time here on earth. I do this by combining three modalities that have personally changed my own life and continue to every day - Coaching, Yoga, and Reiki.
Tell us about yourself
I created Wherever Forever shortly after leaving my job of 7 years as a Global Marketer at L'Oreal. While I had a dream job on paper, most days spent in that role felt out of alignment for me. My intuition was practically screaming at me every day to leave, but I was too scared to listen. Until I finally decided to give my intuition a chance. I gave it space to speak and be heard through Yoga, Reiki, and Coaching. These modalities changed everything for me - they helped me stop wasting my time and finally start living my life & discover my purpose, which is to help those around me connect with themselves through these various practices.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is creating my online yoga platform - Yoga Wherever Forever. I wanted to create the exact kinds of classes that I wanted to take myself - classes that challenged me, stretched me, made me feel like I was coming back home to myself, made me laugh and cry, and classes that truly met me where I was at. That meant being able to choose from a variety of classes, varying in themes, difficulty level, and time.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
For me, taking good care of myself physically and emotionally is one of the most difficult things. Be sure to check yourself regularly, eat right, sleep enough, and communicate effectively with others. If I can't show up for myself, it becomes more difficult to show up for my clients authentically.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't wait for any of the work you create to be perfect before putting it out there.
- The only way to get better is by practicing.
- Ask people you trust for help, ask your spiritual guides for help, ask the universe, God, or whoever/whatever you believe in for help. You never have to do anything alone.
