This week, Dominique sits down with Dr. Lisa Grain, a retired orthodontist who has completely reinvented herself as the founder of French Barrelettes, a new beauty brand bringing back the old-school ritual of wet set rollers with modern technology.What started as a cherished Sunday night ritual with her grandmother and mother has transformed into a full-fledged beauty startup built on faith, creativity, and perseverance.In this conversation, Dominique and Lisa discuss:Lisa’s journey from orthodontics to entrepreneurship, and why she walked away from a long, successful career to chase a passion projectThe seven-year process of designing prototypes, testing, and finally creating the perfect wet set rollerWhy traditional rollers (foam, Velcro, plastic) never measured up, and how French Barrelettes are differentHow wet setting makes hair healthier, shinier, and longer-lasting than blowouts or heat stylingThe generational influence of her grandmother, mother, and daughter in shaping her beauty philosophy and businessWhat Lisa learned about funding a startup without venture capital, and how bartering, relationships, and persistence carried her forwardThe emotional moment of her daughter helping her create her first pitch deck, and what it taught her about full-circle parentingHow faith and what she calls “QTR” (Quality Time Remaining) guide her decisions in this next chapterWhy reinvention is not just possible, but powerful, for women at any stage of lifeFor more on Lisa, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisagrain/?hl=en Website: https://frenchbarrelettes.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:LMNT: Right now LMNT is offering a free 8-count Sample Pack of their most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase.
