Ep 19: What It Means to Be Resilient with Anne Lauren Jolly

French Kissing Life

This week, I'm joined by the delightful Anne Lauren Jolly, the creative force behind Azalea Drive's toxin-free nail color line, as we share tales of entrepreneurship, the rewards of friendship, and the beauty inherent in life's ups and downs. Anne's story is a vibrant splash of color in the world of beauty, and together, we explore the rich hues of personal growth and heart-centered existence that inspire our every move.
Anne Lauren is the Founder and Chief Matriarch of Azalea Drive, a 21-toxin-free, eco-lux nail color collection. Azalea Drive's mission is to revolutionize and ritualize the art of nail care. It was created from the mindset that life is to be lived in color and is too fleeting to be taken for granted.
Topics covered:

• Anne's inspiration behind starting the nail color line.
• The importance of non-toxic nail polish and its impact on health.
• Overcoming challenges and learning from mistakes in entrepreneurship.
• Having a supportive network of friends and fellow entrepreneurs.
• Personal resilience and overcoming challenges.
• Coping strategies during difficult times.

Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:

• If you have a little more than 5 minutes, I’ve got a Tedx talk called “How failure cultivates resilience” by Raphael Rose who explains how leaning into trials and setbacks builds the emotional callouses that help us value what's good in life.
  • https://www.ted.com/talks/raphael_rose_how_failure_cultivates_resilience
• If you have 50 minutes, I found an article from Positive Psychology that goes in depth about what resilience is, signs of resilience, how to build it, etc. And as a bonus, I also found a Resilience Resource Center from Everyday Health if you want to go even deeper on the topic.

  • https://www.everydayhealth.com/wellness/resilience/resilience-resource-center/
• And then if you want to check out Anne’s nail polish line, her shop is at AzaleaDrive.shop and if you sign up for her email newsletter, you’ll instantly save 15% off your purchase.
