Anne Zuckerman
They said I wasn’t smart enough to go to college. I was told that I should go to trade school and become a key-punch operator – does anyone even know any key-punch operators? When I quit my first job, a member of my family was sure that no one would ever hire me.
Well, I’m here to tell you that persistence, drive, and creativity win.
I am more than fourth generation retail. After joining my mother’s lingerie business, I learned to guess bra sizes, got certified as a mastectomy fitter, and learned how to tailor bras. Following her passing, I saw a product and thought – “I can do better than that.” Crazy as it sounds, I went on a hike and happened to meet a design engineer. He introduced me to a patent attorney. I took everything I had and, with his help, got the patent for Bezi® Bra Discs as well as my first prototype mold.
Wholesale to small stores was great, but, I wanted more and have spent years learning about funnels, website building, CRM, customer retention management, as well as workflows, marketing, and social media. From learning to type on an electric typewriter to the computer. Wow, what a journey.
Yes, I am here to tell you that anything is possible – even for those of us who others thought could never succeed. When you have curiosity, interest in learning, and drive anything is possible.
I am your host Anne Zuckerman and this is the Just Wanted to Ask Podcast.

About Heather:Heather spent 25 years in the corporate world, struggling with feeling drained, overwhelmed, and out of balance, never fully understanding or even knowing the powerful impact that her ovulation cycle had on her overall health and well-being. She was taught ovulation was for reproduction only and having a period was optional. She tried several types of hormonal birth control, and although she didn't quite feel like herself, she pushed through because isn't that what we are taught? Her life took a transformative turn when she pursued certification as a health coach and FEMM trainer.Through her studies, she discovered a profound truth: ovulation cycles are not merely a biological process but a vital sign of overall health. Just like blood pressure, weight, and heart rate, these cycles play a significant role in our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Her newfound knowledge illuminated the profound impact of the cycle on shaping our relationships with ourselves, family, friends, and co-workers. Armed with this understanding, she learned how to harness the power of the cycle to increase productivity, foster creativity, boost energy levels, and combat hormonal imbalances, irregular cycles, and burnout.Now, as a Cycle Awareness Coach, owner of Vivydus, and host of the "Be Vivydus" podcast, she is passionate about sharing this wisdom with others. Through her podcast, courses, and social media sites, she dives deeper into the fascinating world of cycle awareness, sharing personal experiences and providing practical tips and insights.Join her as she empowers you to embrace your cycle, unlock your true potential, and cultivate a life of balance and well-being.
