Leadership & Business Adviser to CEOs and other high-visibility leaders
In This Episode
Today, in our Conversation with Friends, I had the pleasure of speaking with the beautiful Jetty Nieuwenhuis. Jetty, owner and founder of health & wellness brand trujetty, is a coach, makeup artist, image stylist, and model who found herself in a twenty-year struggle with Bulimia and Lyme disease. Realizing the power of self-love and self-care, Jetty recovered and is now passionate about empowering other silenced women to love themselves and their lives.
Let’s jump right into Jetty’s incredible journey and learn how she was able to unsilence herself and embrace her uniqueness to heal and push forward and succeed. You can be free from judgement!
