In this episode of Your Beauty Guru podcast I, Elizabeth Molina talk with Indie Lee. Back in 2009, Lisa Swengros was your regular workin’ woman. She was 37, with two kids, had made quite the career as a financial analyst and was a trained accountant and auditor. Then, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given six months to live. Lisa changed everything about her life after that.
She legally changed her name to Indie Lee, as a way to rebrand herself as “independent Lisa.” Indie Lee quit her job which had become difficult as her vision suffered due to the tumor. She dived into the organic food movement and sold her jewelry to fund an idea she had for a skincare line.
Doctors had explained to her that the tumor was not cancerous but stemmed from her environment. Indie Lee underwent surgery and has been healthy ever since. Now, Indie Lee has become a full-fledged skincare line. It started with a body scrub, developed by a host of dermatologists, holistic doctors and a chemist.
Healthy-for-you skincare matters!
Starting with their own experiences, they end up giving some powerful tips on skincare and make-up.
