Welcome back to The Feminine Profiles podcast! Today, I am in conversation with Jenelle Manzi. Jenelle is a member of the New York City ballet and the founder of Get Golden. She spent years as a professional dancer sidelined with injuries and food allergies and could never find a healthy snack that gave her the energy she needed so she decided to create her own products in her kitchen and get golden was born.
In today’s conversation, we discuss:
- What the early days in the NYC Ballet looked like, from her daily schedule of training days, school and long commutes
- Her first career injury and the path that led her down. Discovering food allergies and sensitivities and how that led her to take her health into her own hands, start a blog and get crafting in the kitchen
- How slowing down allows her to catch mistakes more quickly, and pivot in business, and stay focused on her mission
- How she has taken a softer approach to self-care, and cultivating joy and self-love
- Body image, clean ingredients and so much more!
I Hope you enjoy this conversation. Xo, Brooke
