In this episode, join Lindsey and Shizu Okusa, founder of Apothékary, for an inspiring dive into the entrepreneurial journey, the power of herbs, and how to prioritize what matters most in life. Want to learn how to maintain a mindful + purposeful approach as a busy founder? This is for you! Ahead, Shizu helps us redefine success beyond traditional career milestones, emphasizing the importance of cultivating what she calls “eulogy virtues” as much as we work on our “resume virtues.” She also opens up about her spiritual journey and how she’s learned to trust divine timing. Shizu illuminates her path from working at Goldman Sachs to building Apothékary, offering invaluable insights on staying grounded while you climb the ladder of success. If you’re an entrepreneur or just want to learn how to balance productivity + spiritual nourishment, listen up! We also talk about: The concept of your spiritual age The benefits of herbal tinctures for stress + sleep Vipassana meditation + its profound emotional impact The journey from intense corporate life to balanced entrepreneurship Balancing social media with real life + taking digital detoxes Differences in dating cultures between LA + New York Setting boundaries in co-founder relationships Future visions of a retreat center blending wellness + Japanese culture Resources: Website: https://apothekary.co Instagram: @apothekaryco and @shizuokusa Pre-order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: http://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
