Entrepreneurship from the Ground Up: Jim Whelan on Building Monmouth County

Fit, Fierce & In Business: Three Women on Wellness in Monmouth County

Short Description:Nicole sits down with Lauren from Buff Beauties/Buff Brides to Be and Katie from Perpirology for an honest conversation about what it really means to be fit — body and mind. These three Monmouth County female entrepreneurs open up about running businesses, serving their communities, and why taking care of yourself first isn't selfish, it's essential. What does it actually mean to be fit? Not the Instagram version — the real version. In this episode, Nicole is joined by two women she genuinely admires: Lauren from Buff Beauties and Katie from Perpirology, both of whom are building businesses rooted in helping people feel better in their own bodies. Nicole works out six days a week — running, hot yoga, strength training — not because she has to, but because she's learned that how she shows up for her clients depends entirely on how she shows up for herself first. This episode is a natural extension of that belief, brought to life through conversation with two women who've built careers around it. The three cover what fitness really looks like day-to-day, why the mind-body connection matters more than most people admit, and what it's like navigating entrepreneurship as women in Monmouth County. It's candid, warm, and genuinely useful — whether you're already deep into a wellness routine or just starting to think about one. About the Guests:Lauren is the founder of Buff Beauties, bringing strength-focused training to women in Monmouth County. Katie is the founder of Perpirology, helping clients through personalized wellness practices. Both are small business owners deeply rooted in their local community.
