Kelly Barker is the founder of PREP Your Skin, a beauty company that uses clean ingredients to make perfectly giftable beauty products at a modest price.
Kelly left her big corporate job at JP Morgan Chase nearly 6 years ago to become an entrepreneur...and little did she know how much of a journey entrepreneurship would be and all that she would learn. Kelly is the mom to 2 kiddos, and she's nearly an expert on how to compartmentalize and focus on the audience and/or task at hand. She has zero tolerance for mom guilt as she does not allow it to enter her mind!
PREP's clean beauty collection can be found in Target stores nationwide (next to the loofahs in the bath section!).
In this episode, Kate & Kelsey chat with Kelly about taking the leap into entrepreneurship and the challenges of starting a brand from scratch, taking advantage of the opportunities presented at the time, making sacrifices to chase after your dreams and tips for tackling mom guilt.
