What this episode covers
She didn’t plan to be a business owner. She sure as hell didn’t plan to open her first brick-and-mortar three weeks before a global shutdown. But when COVID hit, Dr. Nekita Sullivan had two choices: fold or fight. In this episode of Hello Chaos, Nekita sits down with Jennifer “JJ” Sutton to talk about what it really took to launch, lose, and then rebuild her business—Yoga Therapy Bar—from the ground up. This is more than a story about surviving the pandemic. It’s a conversation about what it means to be underestimated as a Black woman entrepreneur, what you learn when your financial safety net disappears, and how wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a damn necessity. Nekita pulls no punches as she shares the highs, the heartbreak, and the hustle behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt like quitting, this episode will meet you where you are.
