1629: Build an Online Wellness Business Using AI with Yvonne Franklin

Many people never launch the projects or businesses they dream about, not because they lack ideas, but because burnout, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm stop them in their tracks. In this episode, Yvonne Franklin shares how, at age 61, a workplace injury and emotional breakdown ended her 30-year healthcare career, but also became the catalyst for building an online wellness ecosystem from scratch, without tech skills, marketing experience, or an ad budget. Her story is a powerful example of turning adversity into action and using lived experience to help others reset their lives. Yvonne explains how she discovered AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and especially the Buildyai platform to create a complete digital presence in just a few months. Without writing a line of code, she built The Mindful Reset at themindfulrezset.com, along with quizzes, email sequences, workbooks, guides, a course, and even marketing assets for social media. She also became an affiliate for Buildyai and created a guide specifically for non-technical people who want to get online without the overwhelm of domains, hosting, and web design. At the heart of Yvonne’s work is a simple but powerful promise: you don’t need 60-minute routines or complex meditation practices to feel better. Her “Mindful Rezset” approach centers on 2–5 minute micro-resets, printable pocket cards, reflections, affirmations, breathing prompts, and short exercises designed for overstressed workers, professionals, parents, and caregivers in a fast-paced world. She breaks down different types of resets (emotional, rational, inspirational, mindset, and more) that help people pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves so they can return to their day calmer and clearer. https://youtu.be/jy6gT0hvXdw?si=Z-VBl4BUDYohctA_ Yvonne also shares the business-building side of her journey: using free and low-cost tools, posting organic content on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest, applying for grants as a women entrepreneur in Canada, and thinking strategically about partnerships and future webinars. She talks about writing her 107-page book “Your Reset Begins Here”, creating a reflection blog series called “When Thoughts Become Things”, and launching her Etsy store at rezsetyourmoments.etsy.com. Throughout, she returns to her core mantra: “You are allowed to come back. This is built for that.” If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or “too late” to start something new, Yvonne’s story and framework offer both practical tools and deep encouragement. Quotes: "I’m not a wellness guru; I’m just a simple person with lived experience, packaging what I’ve learned so everyday people can actually use it." "If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or like you don’t recognize yourself anymore, this work is about helping you reconnect with you so you can move forward again." "People don’t just need another routine; they need a moment to breathe, to come back to themselves, and remember who they are in the middle of a fast-paced world."
