In this episode, Angelina is joined by Simone Bernstein—serial entrepreneur, community builder, and passionate advocate for balance. At just 24, Simone opened her first business, barre3 Brookline, which quickly became one of the top-performing studios nationwide. When the pandemic forced the closing of her second studio, she turned challenge into opportunity by launching Spark by Simone, a permanent jewelry brand that celebrates milestones and amplifies female entrepreneurs across Boston. Today, Simone is the founder of Wellth Society, a platform created to help women thrive in health, wealth, and community through transformative experiences and intentional living.
Together, Simone and Angelina dive into what it means to reinvent yourself, build businesses with purpose, and lead with resilience. They get real about burnout, building community in Boston’s competitive fitness scene, launching Wellth Society, and why creating spaces for women to thrive is Simone’s biggest mission yet.
