Most people are settled by 40. Carrie Gross was just getting started.
With four kids at home and a solid career, her decision to start a new business seemed like a risky choice. But her vision was stronger than the fear.
This week on SUPERWOMEN, I chatted with the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare about her pivot from fashion to beauty. She shares how she and her dermatologist husband launched the brand with one product—their now-iconic peel pads.
We talk about what it’s like to pursue your passion later in life, how to stay married while running a business together, and what it means to grow without burning out. Carrie opens up about early failures, trusting her gut, and staying focused on what really matters.
