Alexia Brue saw the wellness trend coming long before matcha lattes and weighted blankets were mainstream. After spending years working as a wellness and travel journalist, Alexia saw a need for actionable information and resources on the emerging trends in fitness, beauty, and the wellness lifestyle. Finally, she made a bold move and cofounded Well + Good, the trusted and famously trendsetting wellness media company. Starting with almost nothing, she and her partner, Melisse Gelula, bootstrapped their way to build a company that empowers its community to live their healthiest, happiest life, which was later acquired. In this episode, Alexia opens up to Covet PR founder Sara Brooks about building a company from the ground up, convincing people wellness was something they truly needed in their life, and the importance of leaning into intuition in times of self doubt.

Melisse Gelula, Co-Founder of Well + Good, the pioneering wellness media company and two-time Webby award winning site. --She immediately started crying. Just kidding. We tried really hard but she only admitted to waking up with a tear in her eye because her work is her mission. We think that’s pretty lucky. --She likes to think of us all as Godmothers of wellness. Zoe thinks this is gangster (in a mafia kind of way). Erica prefers to think of us all in sparkly dresses (in a fairy kind of way). --Melisse shares her start-small-but-think-big strategy. Guess it was a good strategy – they managed to turn a few thousand dollars and a newsletter into many millions, making them yet another example of work wives who are crushing it. We think that’s BAWSE. --With great power comes great responsibility. Post-acquisition, Well + Good will now reach 34 million viewers monthly. That’s some serious responsibility. @iamwellandgood www.wellandgood.com
