Peta Murgatroyd shares how the discipline she built on Dancing With the Stars became the foundation for her second act as a beauty founder. Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, she opens up about what it really takes to move from the stage to the boardroom and why she refused to stay in one lane.
What happens when passion collides with persistence? For Peta, it meant turning years of frustration with self-tanning products into Peta Jane Beauty, a brand known for clean formulas and professional results. She talks about early missteps, rebuilding from scratch, and figuring out how to run a company while raising three kids.
How do you keep going when self-doubt creeps in? What does it take to lead with both grit and grace? Peta’s journey is an honest look at the growing pains behind real success and a reminder that starting over can be one of the most powerful moves you make.
