In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Michelle Peth, founder of BEETTAN, for a conversation that rips the mask off the "hustle culture" and hands you a healthy dose of reality. You’ve been told the glossy version of business: a straight line to success. But what about the messy parts and the awkward detours that actually build an empire? Michelle started spray tanning to simply make ends meet and has since created a brand with over 500 partners, all by being ridiculously real.
This conversation is proof that joy and healing can co-exist. Michelle Peth’s story is a beautiful, bold reframe of identity reclamation: you don’t have to perform or shrink to be successful. Instead of trying to be the "perfect CEO," she leaned into her quirky, authentic self, and that became her superpower. If you’ve ever felt like a misfit with a big heart, this one’s for you.
We talk about boundaries that stick , the pressure to be “polished” (and why it’s garbage-sauce), and how to build a business that actually supports you being yourself, not just performing for a paycheck. You're not broken, you're just adapting , and this episode is your permission slip to stop editing the parts that make you magic. You'll walk away with the courage to finally show your own face and take up space.
