Entrepreneurship as personal development with Alexandria DeVito

The Heallist Podcast

How do you transition from a high-powered corporate career to a pioneering role in holistic health? Alexandria DeVito, a former McKinsey consultant and Harvard MBA, shares her remarkable journey with us on the Healist Podcast. Alexandria's transformation into a functional nutritionist and founder of Poplin, the first pre-pregnancy wellness company, offers a deep dive into the world of proactive healthcare. Her awakening to the importance of preconception health through personal experience and rigorous research underscores the significant shifts needed in how we approach fertility and wellness.
We uncover the hidden struggles of leaving behind the prestige of corporate credentials to venture into the uncertain world of entrepreneurship. Alexandria takes us through her own identity crises and internal battles, providing real-life examples. This conversation emphasizes the importance of self-worth and credibility based on personal expertise rather than external validation, illustrating how solo practitioners are true entrepreneurs in their own right.
Lastly, we tackle the emotional and practical hurdles of starting a business in an emerging field. Alexandria shares actionable strategies for prioritizing impactful tasks over busy work, and an exercise to identify and overcome psychological barriers. We discuss the challenges of explaining innovative concepts like pre-pregnancy wellness and the persistence required to maintain visionary goals. This episode is not just about business success, but the invaluable personal growth and skills gained along the way, celebrating the entrepreneurial journey in all its complexity.
