#88: “Challenging the Status Quo & Becoming Disruptors in the Period Care Industry” with Carinne Chambers-Saini
Today we chat with Carinne Chambers-Saini – Co-Founder, CEO of Diva Cup International
Carinne Chambers-Saini is the CEO and co-founder of Diva International Inc. Since 2001, Diva has been challenging the period status quo. Carinne, along with her mother and co-founder, Francine Chambers, have become disruptors in the menstrual care industry, passionately following their dream to create a healthy and effective alternative to disposables. As an operation that started in the Chamber’s basement, Carinne and Francine have grown Diva from a staff of two to a team of more than 40 people and is still growing. Their product, the DivaCup, is easy-to-use, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and the number one selling product in its category on Amazon. Carinne is excited to take Diva, as the leader in menstrual care, into the future by continuing to use business as a force for good for customers, the community and the planet.
In this episode we talk about:
1. One of the biggest lessons is learning what your limiting beliefs are and learning how to grow past these beliefs. That is how we can become the next version of ourselves and reach our potential.
2. Stay focused on one thing at a time in business, especially in the early stages. Chasing too many things can lead to not reaching any of them. Commit, take action, follow through and make it happen.
3. Listen to your body, continue to make health a priority and tune into what your body needs. Listen to the whispers before it screams at you.
4. We can’t do it all by ourselves. Learn to ask for help in business and in your personal life.
5. Diva proudly represents a B Corp Certified, Canadian Global Brand that defies conventions and challenges the status quo.
6. “It takes so much patience and time to build a business, but if you believe in it, it’s all worth it.”
