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

Alright, Mesia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?

They united as one and had me lol. That’s what they did right ha ha. But seriously I tell everyone all the time if my parents didn’t do anything else right in their lives they did get it right with. My beauty & brains came from my mother & my ambition and hustle came from my father. I’ve never seen my dad clock in on a job. He always worked for himself and as a kid I thought he was cool. People used to ask me what does your father do for a living and I would say whatever you need 🤣. He had a car wash, snack van, and more. Now it’s present day and people ask my dad what do I do for a living and now it’s his turn to say whatever you need lol. Watching my dad as a serial entrepreneur inspired & motivated me to be my own boss now.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I’m a serial entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker & success coach. I’ve been a full-time entrepreneur since 2012 when I lost my corporate America job unexpectedly and found myself unhireable(over qualified). So I made my own platform and launched my first business in the women’s body shapewear industry from my home. This business led me to open a women’s clothing boutique that cater to all women sizes, from there I launched a model management agency, tax firm, financial management company,business coachingand my current business weightloss medspa. I’ve been involved in different industries helping others.My favorite and the one I’m most proud of Is my weight loss medspa Ibeauty Wellness Body Shaping located in Tempe. We’ve been open since November 2019 and have serviced over 500 clients and I can honestly say I have developed a personal one on one relationship with all of them. I get the most joy out of helping others achieve their weightloss goals without having to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery or go through a painful recovery. When my clients actually met and crush their goals with us we celebrate with them because they are our family and not just another $ and that’s what makes us different.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

To succeed in my industry you must have the passion and a heart for helping others. People who are on a weightloss journey may have some insecurities etc. So they want to be able to be completely honest and comfortable with you without being judged. If you do this without a doubt you will be successful

Have you ever had to pivot?

I had to make a choice between family(my health) and business. Just last year I was pregnant with my second son and it was very high risk so I had to step away from my business for 6 months. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I had to put all of my trust into my staff and management team and back away to avoid stress etc.
