EP 297: The Hard Questions, Asked Both Ways — With Celine Egan

What does success really look like when you’re building a business, raising a family, and navigating seasons of change?   In today’s episode of the Direct Selling Accelerator Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Celine Egan—CEO of Juice Plus Australia and one of the most respected leaders in the Direct Selling industry. Celine brings decades of experience, wisdom, and real talk as we do things a little differently in this episode. We actually share the host’s chair and ask each other questions! We  dive into leadership, balance, belief, and what it truly means to build a sustainable business without burning out. We unpack “unlearning” a hustle culture, navigating unsupportive partners, embracing intentional living, and why Direct Selling remains one of the most powerful business models for everyday people.    This episode is honest, heartfelt, and packed with golden nuggets for women in business who want success and a life they love.
