Ep38 Jovanna Brown: Building BariHair While Healing Herself

✨ Jovanna Brown: Building BariHair While Healing Herself

In this episode, I sit down with Jovanna Brown (@itsjojob) — CEO and co-owner of BariHair and Skincare — to talk about what it looks like to build something meaningful while still doing the inner work of healing after bariatric surgery.

Jovanna's story is one of those that reminds you what's actually possible. Raising a family, co-founding a business built specifically for the bariatric community, and staying committed to her own health journey at the same time — she didn't wait until everything was perfect to start. She just started.

We get into her WLS story, the real behind building BariHair and Skincare, and the mindset that keeps her going when life piles up. Honest, grounded, and genuinely motivating — not because it was easy, but because she kept showing up anyway.

✨ Episode Highlights

Her WLS story and what finally made her say yes to surgery

Co-founding BariHair and Skincare — and why the bariatric community needs it

Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and her own healing journey

Staying committed when life doesn't slow down

The mindset shifts that helped her achieve success against real odds

What she'd tell anyone ready to take charge of their own health journey
