They said it was too taboo to talk about.
Too sensitive to market.
Too uncomfortable to scale.
Jhalesa Seymour turned it into a multi-million dollar empire.
In this episode of Inside The Vault, Jhalesa breaks down how she built an eight-figure feminine wellness brand from her college dorm room — starting with just $67 and a problem no one wanted to address.
No investors.
No big box stores.
No massive ad budget.
Just conviction, focus, and a product that worked.
Inside this episode, we cover:
• How Jhalesa built a $70M brand from handmade soap
• The power of word-of-mouth marketing (no ads for years)
• The 150,000-unit breakthrough moment
• Losing 20,000 orders overnight (and surviving it)
• The $80,000 internal betrayal that changed everything
• Why focus is the real eight-figure secret
• How to scale a physical product business the right way
• Building legacy beyond the money
If you’ve ever wanted to build a product-based business, dominate a niche, or turn something “too taboo” into a global movement — this is the blueprint.
