Blood Magic, Business breakups, Blue Lotus & Chemistry

 Blood Magic, Blue Lotus & Business Breakups: Lessons From Building Blue Lotus EffectOn the Wild Grace Podcast, host Mallika shares her entrepreneurial journey starting in 2021 with Blue Lily Queens and the hard lessons learned from repeatedly taking on business partners, beginning with someone she met at a festival. She explains her practice of menstrual blood magic—how she stores and uses menstrual blood, why she believes it is potent through DNA and iron’s magnetism, and ways blood is used restoratively—then recounts hosting a Blue Lotus tea and blood ritual workshop that helped spark her first product business. Mallika describes two subsequent partnerships in Blue Lotus Effect, why each ended, and how a later split became financially and administratively difficult, including major accounting costs and a large tax/BAS bill. She ultimately decides to avoid partners and instead contract or employ help while rebuilding as a sole trader in Australia.00:00 Welcome to Wild Grace00:21 Festival Partner Lesson01:03 Menstrual Blood Magic04:56 First Ritual Results05:43 Blue Lotus Workshop08:16 Blue Lily Queens Launch10:08 Partner Two Breakup12:09 Partner Three Scaling15:14 Power Struggles and Split16:53 Tax and Admin Fallout18:16 Going Solo and DreamsCheck out:[email protected]://www.youtube.com/@BlueLotusEffect
