We had the good fortune of connecting with Veronica Bell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Veronica, how do you think about risk?
Risk taking is a part of being a entrepreneur. Small risks, small rewards. Big risks, big rewards. It’s important to make smart, substantial risks. I have to step out on faith to try something different to keep my customers interested also hoping to atrract new potential customers.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I actually recently decided to make a career change. I received my master’s in Counseling and Psychology. For 7 years I was a family therapist, however burnout made me reevaluate my career path.

It wasn’t easy making the decision to go into a completely different direction. I questioned myself every step of the way.

I recognized that I was unhappy and knew I needed to do something about it. We are not our parents or grandparents. We do not have to stay in one career our entire life. Once I gave myself permission to not live by that I saw things clearer.

When I end my day at my “9 to 5” I jump right into my business. On my down time I’m writing down ideas to try in my business. Wrist Candi by Roni Bee isn’t work for me, it is my happy place!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

I would definitely take her to Slutty Vegan!
Get drinks and play a round at Top Golf.
Take it back to our middle school days and go skating at Golden Glide or Cascade. Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband pushes me to grow & think outside the box. My parents & siblings are always cheering me on motivating me to keep going on days I want to give up. My friends and sorority sisters support me by helping me advertise, whether it’s liking, sharing, commenting or shopping. And of course my customers without them my business would not be where it is now!
