What does success mean to you, and how has this definition evolved over time?
Emily: I used to think success was all about financial gain, but my perspective has transformed over time. Now, I believe success means being someone others look to for support, knowing they can trust me to help them even if I’m not gaining financially from the relationship. It’s all about the impact I can have on someone’s well-being and the trust I build along the way.
Who is your ideal client/customer/collaboration?
Emily: My ideal client is someone who wants a cleaner, healthier lifestyle for themselves and their family but doesn’t have the time to research safe brands on their own. An ideal collaboration would be with an event planner who brings people together. Partnering with them would give me a platform to share valuable information with others that can genuinely make a difference in their lives.
What is the inspiration behind your business journey?
Emily: As a first-time mom, I thought I was doing everything right, including using sunscreen for my son. When I learned that the sunscreen was actually harming his body, it broke my heart. From that moment, I made it my mission to educate myself and others, ensuring nothing in my home could harm my loved ones. My journey started from that moment of heartbreak and has become a lifelong dedication to safer, healthier living.
"Self-care is also crucial; we have to make time for it no matter what."
— Emily Velasco
What are the core values that guide your personal and professional decisions?
Emily: Customer service is everything to me. Everyone has the choice of where to shop, and they deserve to be treated well and with respect. Self-care is also crucial; we have to make time for it no matter what. And, of course, respect for others and their time is a core principle I hold dear in all aspects of life.
How do you nurture your mental and emotional health while pursuing high professional goals?
Emily: I rely on my mentors and partners, sharing both struggles and wins. Having people to talk to who understand the ups and downs makes a big difference, and it helps me stay grounded as I pursue my goals.
Looking ahead, what are your aspirations for the next phase of your life and career?
Emily: I am determined to grow my Wellness Coordinator business so that I can take full ownership of my path. My goal is to continue expanding my business and helping more families and individuals make informed, healthier choices.
