Season 7 Episode 9!
"I felt like I had been run over by a car!"
This weeks guest is founder and CEO Apinke Efiong who joined me to talk about her approach to wellbeing and her passion for skincare borne from her own symptoms during peri-menopause.
Nigerian born now UK based Apinke, launched her brand Ekó Botanicals in 2022, to fill a gap in the market for high-performing wellness and skincare solutions for mid-life women from her own personal journey of turning 40 and grappling with a new set of skin and health concerns.
In 2024, Apinke was voted in the Top 25 of ‘Who’s Who in Natural Beauty’ by Natural Beauty News, which recognises the organic beauty sector’s leading personalities, and those driving change and growth in the industry.
Apinke and I had a conversation that spanned her life and career in finance through floristry and finally skincare to becoming a wife, mother and CEO, moving into peri-menopause and the lifestyle changes that it brought with it. We touched on:
> having to 'soldier through' her debilitating menstrual cycle.
> the taboo of speaking on menopause
> how she got the menopause care that suits her. > coming back to continue her grandfathers legacy in botanicals. > skincare and mindfulness for Black women. and more...
