We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Fiona Rooney a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Fiona , appreciate you joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

Discovering fulfillment and joy in daily life and work is a transformative realization. It shifts your mindset from simply “going through the motions” to living a purposeful, meaningful life. In 2022, I embraced sobriety, taking full responsibility for my life and my goals, embarking on a mission to become the best version of myself. When life pushes us to the edge, creating discomfort, it’s often a sign that change is necessary. Inspired by the incredible people I’ve met along the way, I became determined to turn darkness into light and help others who struggle to find their purpose.

As my habits evolved, so did my routines, interests, and desires, leading me to a community centered on health and wellness. Prioritizing both my physical and mental health has brought transformative, positive changes that I now feel driven to share with the world. My goal is to spread awareness about the critical connection between physical and mental well-being, recognizing how they work together to unlock life’s full potential.

I hope my journey serves as a testament to resilience and transformation, showing that discomfort can become an opportunity for profound change—not only for yourself but also for those around you. My mission is to help others discover their purpose and embrace the importance of both physical and mental wellness.

Fiona , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

With a seasoned background as a restaurateur and event planner, I pivoted my life’s work towards a mission that speaks to
the core of human vulnerability and strength beginning back in 2022 when I chose to embrace a life of sobriety. My own journey of wellness transformation has imbued me with a profound understanding of the healing process, both physical and emotional.My story has been woven into my testimony for life . It is the road that she herself has traveled that has allowed me to lead with such an abundance of gratitude ,faith , and good intention to help others.

My commitment to health and wellness is not just a profession; it is a life calling full of passion and drive.

Since prioritizing my health I l have lost over 75 pounds and shifted my mindset to that of clarity , peace, discipline and determination. It is this drive and insight that I bring to my latest venture, where I offer an array of wellness services and products. Being a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach my offerings , which encompass her partnership with Pretty Please Aesthetics, include groundbreaking Regenerative & Functional Medicine , Nutrition Coaching , Medical and Non Medical Weight Loss , alongside many other wellness tools that have assisted me during my journey, stand at the forefront of the health and wellness industry. These are not just products and services to Fiona; they are necessities for a healthier lifestyle, carefully and personally selected and offered with the intent to facilitate healing and improve quality of self.

My approach is holistic, focusing on empowering individuals to prioritize their well-being and explore the best version of themselves. I know firsthand the importance of healing and the impact it can have on all facets of life.

Leading with determination, compassion, and purpose, I hope to stand as a pillar of inspiration. My story is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of renewal. Through my work in the health and wellness sector, I aim to inspire others to embrace their journey of healing and prioritize their well-being to live their lives to the fullest and most authentic self.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

Pivoting is not a sign of failure—it’s a strategic move that demonstrates an entrepreneur’s ability to adapt, remain relevant, and seize new opportunities. The most successful business owners are those who embrace change, stay flexible, and continually evolve with their environment.

For 20 years, I co-owned Irish pubs and restaurants in Manhattan. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to shut down, I was faced with difficult decisions about my future. In the years that followed, I took a position working for someone else, which provided valuable insights into who I am professionally. I realized that the corporate world wasn’t a natural fit for me—I thrive on growth, innovation, and thinking outside the box.

Now, as the founder of my own wellness brand, I pivot daily. Entrepreneurship offers constant opportunities to learn, grow, and introduce new ideas to others. This dynamic environment fuels my creativity, allowing me to continuously evolve and expand the business in fresh, exciting directions.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

In the health and wellness field, beyond training and knowledge, several factors contribute to success. I find the most important factor in any business is authenticity and trust. Above all , success and good things always come to those who live life with genuine and honest purpose.

Authenticity and Passion
When you genuinely believe in the benefits of health and wellness and live by those principles, it resonates with others. Passion for the field drives you to stay motivated, continuously learn, and inspire others, building trust with clients and peers.

Building Relationships and Community
Networking in wellness is not just about business—it’s about building meaningful relationships. Fostering a sense of community and support is essential. Whether through partnerships, collaborations, or offering support to others on similar journeys, strong relationships help you grow your network and create long-term success.

Empathy and Active Listening
Health and wellness are deeply personal, and people seek professionals who understand their struggles and goals. Being empathetic and listening actively allows you to connect on a deeper level, offering personalized guidance that clients value and trust.

Consistency and Integrity
Consistency in your practices, approach, and message is vital. Being reliable and upholding integrity builds credibility in the long run, making you a trusted figure in the wellness community.

Mentorship and Support
Having mentors or being part of a supportive network helps you stay focused and inspired. Surrounding yourself with individuals who share your vision can provide guidance, new perspectives, and opportunities that might not have been available on your own.
