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

Tasha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Owning a business isn’t always glamorous and so most business owners we’ve connected with have shared that on tough days they sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have just had a regular job instead of all the responsibility of running a business. Have you ever felt that way?

I saw something the other day that said: “If you can pick you kids up from school, eat lunch whatever time you want, and go to the gym during the day, then you are already a successful business owner.” I agree with this. Those freedoms are all wonderful.

I also wonder what it would be like to have a paycheck that is consistent and always the same, or a 401K that my employer puts money into, or “paid time off.” I don’t know what these things feel like, by I do wonder sometimes.

I will say that I never wonder enough to actually find out though. So yes, I’d say wholeheartedly that I am happy as a business owner.

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 am a life long plant lover and trained herbalist. I founded Tasha Rose when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2016 and wanted to make Elderberry Syrup for my family that tasted great and didn’t have sugar or preservatives in it. My friends started wanting it too, and it grew from there. By 2019 I quit my other two jobs and was giving my all to Tasha Rose.

At Tasha Rose we make organic herbal supplements for kids and adults, with a focus on immune support and foundational health. We want you to feel vibrant and healthy, and be prepared for the inevitable sniffles.

It’s important to remember that kids get sick. It’s vital for their immune systems, and it’s how they grow into strong, resilient adults.

That said, as parents we want them to feel recover as quickly as possible. This is why I founded Tasha Rose. With daily nourishing infusions you build foundational health with essential and trace vitamins and minerals, and our immune supporting line helps with any sneezing, dry cough, wet cough and even seasonal allergies.

All herbs are organic, wild crafted or grown regeneratively. We use purified water that is free from heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, etc…) PFAs, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, fluoride, and pesticides. Did you know all of these are found in tap water and most bottled waters?

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Second guessing my decisions. I put a lot of time and energy into researching things before I make a decision, as well as tuning into my inner voice to be guided to what is best for Tasha Rose. Despite that I often second guess myself once I make that decision. Thankfully, I’ve noticed this pattern am am now able to remind myself that I spent time making an educated and heart forward decision. I now don’t experience this as much and move forward knowing that even it it was the “wrong” decision, I can pivot and still figure out the “right” decision.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Two things stand out here to me. Since we are selling something that you are going to give your child when they are sick, we must have the trust of our customers.

First, our commitment to impeccable quality and using the best ingredients we can find is vital.

Second, word of mouth from other moms. A mom is much more likely to buy something another mom recommends, rather than something they haven’t heard of before.

These two things have helped Tasha Rose build a trusted reputation.
