## Resource

This episode of Skin Talks dives deep into the wild ride of launching Boutique Skin Envie in the midst of a global pandemic, and the mother-daughter bond that made it happen. Hosted by Beate and Natascha from Boutique Skin Envie, this candid two-part special pulls back the curtain on: • Turning zero to 50 brands overnight when COVID hit • Funding growth by cashing in life insurance and maxing out credit cards • Surviving customer-service meltdowns and Canada Post strikes • The relentless “never leave your baby unattended” hustle mindset • Balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood and mental health • Lessons on risk-taking, brand building and why there’s never a “perfect” time to start 👇 Watch, subscribe & join the conversation After six years of dreaming big, Beate and Natascha share raw stories of sacrifice, strategy and the grit it takes to build a skincare business from scratch. Whether you’re plotting your own side hustle or curious how an e-commerce startup really lives (and survives), this episode gives you an unfiltered look at entrepreneurship, family partnerships and the power of perseverance.
