Creating Luxy Hair: From Idea to Business
Mimi Icon shares her journey of starting Luxy Hair, a hair extension company created out of dissatisfaction with the quality of existing products. With little experience in business, Mimi and her husband took a risk and used social media, specifically YouTube, as their marketing platform. They gained success by creating hair tutorials and organically mentioning their own product in the videos. Within two months, they turned their idea into a thriving business.
The Power of Manifestation and Gratitude
During a period of anxiety and depression, Mimi discovered the power of meditation and gratitude. She practiced the hour of power, a gratitude walk inspired by Tony Robbins' work, where she verbally expressed her gratitude and desires. This practice led to the creation of Intelligent Change, a company focused on developing simple tools for personal growth. Their flagship product, the Five Minute Journal, and affirmation cards are designed to help individuals cultivate gratitude, affirmations, and positive habits.
Choosing Individual Journeys and Embracing Change
Mimi reflects on her recent decision to separate amicably from her husband after 16 years together. She emphasizes the importance of honoring personal growth and intuition in relationships. Mimi believes that society's expectation for relationships to last a lifetime is unrealistic and that choosing oneself and embracing change can lead to empowerment and authenticity. She aims to model this for her daughter and encourages others to prioritize their own inner work and happiness.
The Vision of Creating Peace and Raising Vibrations

The goal is to encourage people to spend less time in front of screens and prioritize real-life human connections. The speaker highlights the power of individual transformation and the ripple effect it can have on the world.
Believing in Yourself and Conscious Self-Actualization
The podcast episode emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and embracing the journey of self-actualization. The speaker discusses the concept of making the 'Big Leap' and overcoming self-sabotage to achieve success in various areas of life. They emphasize the power of intuition and inner knowing, highlighting the need to disconnect from societal expectations and pursue individual passions. The speaker encourages listeners to define their values, create a vision for their lives, and align their actions with their values.
