(M) From Whiskey to Wellness: A Bold Reinvention with Carin Luna-Ostaseski

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, or brain fog?

How do you push through when life feels uncertain or overwhelming?

What if you could turn your struggles into something that helps others?

In this episode of The Courage To Be™ Podcast, Carin Luna-Ostaseski, the founder of Hot or Just Me, shares her journey of creating a business that helps women navigate perimenopause and menopause. She opens up about her personal struggles with hot flashes, brain fog, and anxiety, and how those challenges inspired her to build a resource hub for women experiencing similar symptoms.

Carin also recounts a powerful anecdote about her experience with rejection when launching her Scotch whiskey brand, Sia. After facing 80 rejections, she finally found the right partner, and her persistence led to the brand’s acquisition by one of the largest spirits companies in the world. This experience taught her the importance of resilience and staying connected, even when faced with setbacks.

If you’re looking for inspiration on navigating perimenopause, building a business, or embracing courage despite challenges, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
