Ep. 7 - with Rebecca Hopkins, Balance Me - a podcast by Amelia Rope

Rebecca co-founded the award-winning www.balanceme.com @balancemeskincare with her sister Claire 15 years ago. Propelled from making foot scrubs for corporate days into a pop up store in Top Shop they have gone on to supply John Lewis, Boots, Waitrose and many more stores. I met Rebecca in 2015 through the power of chat, rose chocolate and her fab rose products!

Both sisters had ‘previous lives’ before they found themselves starting Balanceme.Rebecca’s chapters include working for L’Oreal and training as a reflexologist.

Our chat includes the challenges they faced with the business during this time and how they have adapted it to keep growing, the changing and evolving landscape of women in business, ‘green washing’ in the natural beauty industry, Rebecca’s thoughts on the words success and failure … and more.
