Making Millions, Losing Millions, and Still Thriving with Alison Grooms

This week on The Embodied Baddie Podcast, I’m sitting down with the incredible Alison, owner of Jules & James Boutique and Jazz Cosmetics. And let me tell you—this convo is a goldmine for every retail entrepreneur who has ever doubted themselves, stressed over inventory, or wondered if they’re secretly screwing everything up. Alison built a multi-million dollar business almost by accident, rode the wild waves of scaling, and even landed on the Inc. 500 list—only to see a $2M revenue dip right after.
