#171: How To Build A Business From Scratch with Anastasia Love | Founder Studio Queen Hair

Staying true to your path and pursuing your passion isn't always the easiest road. What if life is throwing you curve ball after curve ball? How do you not only stay connected to what you know is meant for you...

But also stay connected to your positivity when everything is beyond hard?

In this episode, I talk with Anastasia Love, the fearless founder of Studio Queen Hair in Los Angeles. Originally from Russia, Anastasia shares her moving story of leaving an abusive marriage, immigrating to the US with her young daughter, and starting over from scratch—without knowing the language or having a support system.

Through powerful reflections, Anastasia reveals how embracing curiosity, confronting her deepest fears, and making intentional choices helped her rise from life’s lowest moments, both personally and professionally. From navigating the challenges of building a new career in a foreign country, to overcoming crippling health scares, Anastasia’s journey is a lesson in resilience and empowerment.

Tune in as we explore how choosing curiosity over fear can transform your life, and discover practical insights on building a business—and a life—driven by joy, purpose, and confidence.

Whether you’re looking to step into your own next chapter or seeking inspiration to tackle the fears holding you back, this conversation is a testament to what's possible.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. The power of embracing your unique story as a source of strength and inspiration for others
  2. How to reframe fear as a gateway to possibility and growth
  3. How curiosity and self-trust can bring in so much possibility and positivity
