Today we’d like to introduce you to Heather Rymer.
Hi Heather, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am the city owner of The Beauty Boost Cleveland! The Beauty Boost is a community for women to feel empowered, healthy and beautiful! We offer events and experiences such as weekend retreat getaways, fitness events, empowerment workshops, and socials. The Beauty Boost is a lifestyle! Women can grab what is called our year pass or start by grabbing an event ticket a la carte.
I was introduced to The Beauty Boost in January 2022 (I had never heard of them prior to that!) by a client of mine. I have partnered with Crunchi, a holistic skincare and makeup brand for over 6 years and one of my clients told me about The Beauty Boost. She said that she was involved with them in Cincy and the community is all about women empowerment, health and wellness and it was right up my alley! I had a wild gut reaction to say YES tell me more! I am a big-time planner, I like to have a lot of information and details before deciding most things in my life but something just felt different about this. The Beauty Boost Cleveland was looking for a new city owner and I jumped at the chance to talk with Rachel Kerr, TBB founder! We talked and she invited me to go to an event to check it out and I went by myself. Never would I have ever gone to an event (or anything really) by myself!! That alone was hugely outside my comfort zone!
I was seriously amazed by how comfortable I felt in the room with tons of women who I had never met and the whole event was just awesome! I felt so good leaving and knew I had to be involved! I helped as much as I could throughout 2022 and took over as city owner in 2023!
It’s wild to think I am in my third year as city owner. I feel great knowing that I really am putting my whole heart into these events, bringing women from all around the Cleveland area together, helping to make it easier to meet other like-minded women! It can be so hard to find and meet other women for friendship who like similar things (we are all about health, wellness, supporting local businesses, supporting women-owned businesses, nature, animals, supporting each other!) and our community comes together to help make that easier!
I have heard amazing feedback from attendees about how comfortable they have felt, how kind and loving the other women are, how awesome other businesses are to each other, how much fun they have had, how they love sharing about our community because of the people we surround ourselves with! This is why I do what I do and why I wanted to be involved.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like anything in life, it’s never going to be an easy path the entire time. We wouldn’t learn or grow if it was! Some of my struggles have dealt with feeling not worthy of leading such an incredible team or community along with imposter syndrome which I’ve learned so many people struggle with as well. Along with having wonderful growth in the business, it’s also been an amazing (not always pleasant) journey of personal development as well! Having an incredible team (like my Brand Ambassadors!) makes such a huge difference when facing obstacles or any kind of challenge! These women are amazing and help in so many ways!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The Beauty Boost is a community where women can have a fun experience while also meeting other like-minded women for friendship. It can be so tough to meet real gals to be friends with as an adult and we truly aim to make it as simple as possible! The Beauty Boost brings the community together with local businesses as well. We also partner with local businesses to get them in front of new eyes and spotlight them throughout the year in elevated ways! I am very proud of how our brand ambassador team and our community has grown over the last few years! I think what makes us special is we really lead with our mission which is bringing women together and making it less awkward to meet your new bestie – we are all there for similar reasons and we encourage saying hi to someone new, getting out of your comfort zone. The local businesses we partner with are highlighted at these gatherings so we can all enjoy some fun, shopping, pampering together with the new gal we met! Then, the hope is these gals are finding new local businesses to support their needs whether it’s a new chiropractor, clean candle options, a life coach, etc.!
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
There have been lots of important lessons I’ve learned so far and one that I continue to lean on is to keep moving forward. We can plan and plan, have our lists, details, etc.- and still things will go wrong, or things will happen to throw us off. We have to be able to go with it, shift quickly and easily, make things work with what we do have and in the end it usually works out okay. We have to take what we can from those moments and learn, grow, adapt, have grace and keep moving forward.
