We were lucky to catch up with Nicole Lopez recently and have shared our conversation below.

Nicole, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

At the age of 17, after high school I wanted to be independent. I moved out of my moms house. It was one of my biggest fear, being alone and the unknown of taking on adult responsibilities. It was than that I understood concept of taking risk. I truly believe that taking risk is the most important part of one’s life. At the age of 33 When I became a mother , I decided to take the biggest leap and risk of my life profession at the time. I went from full-time for 12 years corporate career and with a part-time small business. To becoming a full-time business entrepreneur. I had a great run in my career and success.

Shortly, my life changed and after the pandemic hit, my job had let me go.

Becoming a mother and becoming an independent entrepreneur was extremely challenging but at the same time the most liberating feeling I’ve ever experienced. For many years, I wanted to leave the Corporate world but I had no idea how I would take the risk. Although, I had some great memories and bad however, it had taught me a lot and even things. I needed to change about myself. Since I have left the corporate; I have published two books, became co -owner of Rainbow Root Teas( specialty in healthy food & beverage company), focus on my yoga teachings, became a rebrand private trainer, Featured on a music video with one of the largest music writers/ artist in the music industry and most importantly became a mother to a beautiful boy.

If I would’ve not have taken the risk and detached from corporate America I would never be able to experience life the way I have for the past two years. For the first time ever, I am finally following my heart and completely taking risk with every step I take in life. There’s two outputs in taking risk you either try or try again.

I am a firm believer that ones heart will always be the navigator to life purpose. The ego self will create endless stories of doubt and fear. The mind can be the worst risk blocker! The minute we always our heart to take risk, surrender & trust, we allow life to flow so abundantly and peacefully. It will always start with trusting your heart and then take the risk!

Nicole, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am currently co owner of Rainbow Root Teas. My passion has always been health, food, beverages and wellness. Especially mental health, as I have & family have battled with many different of health challenges. My dive comes from taking care of our bodies and mind.

The beautiful part about going through these different experiences and growing passion is that I have become so relatable to everyone I meet. I feel many of the stories I encounter, I somehow can relate. We are all connected. I love connecting with the community and through my experiences and sharing my stories. Any opportunity to shed light, I am willing to open conversations.

Co- Creating this Rainbow Root Teas, business model structure and rebuilding Rainbow Root Teas. We create vegan products as I am also a chef and creating different types of recipe’s. Also, becoming a mother has taught me a bigger value to life and to slow down on things to take life for exactly what I make it by taking risk and be completely OK with expressing myself at my own full capacity unapologetically. There’s a difference in life when people say they want to do something but they do not do and the people that just take the risk without knowing what would happen and by doing that.

Consistency is the key to developing anything and taking risk. I am mostly proud about how we’ve took this brand and re-create it. We care and love Rainbow Root Teas, as we have built such a large community from everywhere in the United States will continue supporting and loving the brand not only for the high-quality products we provide; but for the authentic trustworthy, clean and uniqueness of what we create. When creating or manifesting anything especially in building a brand something very important has to happen which is great energy and qi. After, having my baby I really understood the concept that motherhood is so important and self-care is so important.

I understand how women can lose themselves and fall into a dark space. If they do not have the right support system and tools. We also added to our collection in supporting motherhood journey “the same products that I created on my motherhood journey”.

One of my personal favorite and so sacred to me for healing my body and producing breast milk is our woman’s tea collections which was Inspired from my postpartum journey. I also had Covid while pregnant and gave birth in the Covid unit, which was extremely traumatic for me. I wrote a book which can be found online called “the pandemic birth” where I dive deeper into my experience and giving birth for the first time in the middle of a pandemic (in the COVID unit).

My priority was taking care of my health not only for myself before but also keeping my baby safe & healthy. I used a lot of Rainbow Root Tea’s collections, during this season in my life. This journey lead me to really expanding Rainbow Root Teas. People needed to experience the herbs and products that I experienced, I was determine to build a strong brand for people to understand why Rainbow Root Teas. & Trust in Mother’s Nature.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

I met my business Partner at the Yellow Green farmers market In Hollywood,Fl, where I had my spiritual booth and he created Rainbow Root Teas. Victor is my long life partner also we both work great together. We decide to partner in 2021 with rebranding the business. It’s been such a great experience.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Taking my independence and liberating myself to becoming a Latina entrepreneur has resilience my story. Along with self publishing my first book & sharing light to hard challenges motherhood is often silence about. I commit to silence the loudness in my mind and doubt from people. People around you can created hesitation and fear. I’d come to realize that in life, my vision is too big for people to understand it when risk is involved. This is my life, my duty to understand I am the GPS to my life. It is not meant for everybody to understand my dreams & risks. It comes to a point in life that Oversharing can cause doubt and fear in any risk taking. Staying within the focus on the finish line and trusting in my Intuition life continue to grow. This is my journey! This is my experience & This is my life!
