Cyndi talks about her upbringing, born and raised in NYC; the daughter of an immigrant and single mother who was an aesthetician. This had a profound impact on her entrepreneurial journey from nightlife, to starting her popular blog " Taste the Style" and inspiration to create Chillhouse, a modern wellness brand with a flagship location in NYC that is now expanding into a global brand. Cyndi shares her perspective on motherhood, self care as a lifestyle, and growing an empire with her partner and entrepreneur husband.

GUEST BIO:
Born and raised in New York City, Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton is the founder & CEO of self-care brand, Chillhouse, and is an entrepreneur with a creative vision who has made a name for herself in the lifestyle, fashion, and hospitality industries through multiple projects, such as former award-winning website, Taste The Style, and NYC bars, The Garret.

Chillhouse currently has an experiential flagship in Soho which offers a suite of spa services. In addition to their physical space, Chillhouse has a line of products ranging from press-ons to candles and Chill Wear. The Chill Times is the media arm of Chillhouse that covers beauty, health, fitness, and wellness topics.

She shared some valuable tips on how to advocate for yourself when it comes to maternal health, and how to improve postpartum health—even with the best sex positions, and how moving to the ‘burbs during the pandemic shifted her mindset.
