Episode 296: How to Build a Business While Managing Chronic Illness | Amber Johnson | Facial Lounge
Amber Johnson is the founder of Facial Lounge, a clean skincare brand and spa with two locations in Orange County, California. She joins Kara to talk about the emotional and entrepreneurial journey behind her business, from battling severe acne and studying under Dr. Fulton to building a skincare line that bridges science and self-love. They dive into skincare myths, gut health, scaling a business with soul, and why the best relationship is the one you have with yourself. This episode explores skincare, self-talk, and women-led entrepreneurship.
“The best relationship you can have is with yourself. The best conversation you can have is with yourself. Your self-talk matters so much. You can’t depend on others to fill you up. You need to learn how to fill yourself up. ”
