In this week’s episode, we’re re-airing one of our top episodes from last year with Katerina Schneider. Katerina is the Founder and CEO of Ritual, a personal health brand bringing a new level of transparency to the health & wellness industry. While pregnant and in search of a prenatal she could trust, Katerina took matters into her own hands and pioneered a new standard of high-quality multivitamins and supplements that are backed by science. Now as one of the most trusted brands in the category, Ritual has had more than a million customers and has the top-selling online prenatal multivitamin.

In this week's episode, we delve into Katerina's family's immigration journey, arriving in the US with only $50 & a suitcase, and how it has influenced her views on success and money. We explore her transition from finance to a different career path & the role of relationships in her journey. We also touch on the significant pivots Ritual made in terms of product, branding, & marketing very early on, as well as the biggest challenges she faced. Katerina also shares how she incorporates wellness in her life as a mother of three and business owner, highlighting the importance of being a little selfish when it comes to self-care, & so much more.
