If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or patched up with a prescription that didn’t solve the problem, this conversation will feel like a deep breath. We sit down with Kelly Nemiro to unpack how she’s building Rhea, a women-only wellness space in Summerlin that starts with data and ends with real relief. No guesswork, no generic plans—just diagnostics, smart coaching, and the right mix of treatments to help women sleep better, think clearer, and feel like themselves again.

Kelly takes us inside the model: breath tests for metabolic health, blood and stool panels, and adrenal stress testing that inform a credits-based plan for IV therapy, acupuncture, colonics, massage, low-impact fitness, Reiki, and guided meditation. We talk about daily realities too—why a women-only environment creates a calmer, more focused place to heal; how a hybrid approach blends at-home convenience with the connection of in-person classes; and the messy, unglamorous work of licensing, hiring, and building a multidisciplinary team in Las Vegas.

Hormones are the throughline. From thyroid slowdowns and insulin resistance to progesterone dips that wreck sleep, Kelly explains what to test, what to watch, and how targeted support pairs with sustainable lifestyle changes. We get practical on habit formation—the one-thing rule for 30 days beats all-or-nothing sprints—and we tackle diet myths with a simple frame: protein and healthy fats build hormones, steady carbs fuel the brain, and strength training won’t “bulk” women. Along the way, Kelly shares hard-won business lessons on burnout, trusting your gut, and hiring for your blind spots, plus honest talk about routines, support systems, and finding balance through community work.

SPEAKER_01:

Welcome to Vegas Circle Podcast with your hosts Pocky and Chris. We are people who are passionate about business, success, and culture. And this is our platform to showcase people in our city who are making it happen. On today's podcast, we're welcoming a special guest. It's been five years since she's last joined us. She's turned Wellness by Kelly into a movement, and now she's launching her new business, Rea, which is in Summerlin, for one of the Vegas most iconic families. She's carving her own lane. Let's welcome to the circle, Miss Kelly Nomero. Or Mrs. Kelly Nomero. I shouldn't say Miss. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you guys for having me back. I'm really excited to be here.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, a lot has happened in five years. Last time we had you on, we were in a pandemic on Zoom, and the world was crazy in 2020.

SPEAKER_04:

I look back at that time and I'm like, wow, where first of all none of us even knew like how dark it was gonna get. That was like insane. And also it was, I think I had just started Walmart by Kelly the first time I spoke to you guys. And I just think about how much has happened. We're kind of chatting about that before we hit record here. Like in five years, had like I know a lot has happened with you guys. You guys have moved twice now. Yeah. Well, I've had three kids and now I'm starting a you know retail business, so a lot can happen half a decade.

SPEAKER_01:

Straight up, yeah. Before, were you just strictly online, right? Yeah. Well I missed by Kelly. So you were strictly online and then you would kind of move around with coaching and things along those lines, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, exactly. When I first started, and I didn't even, it was funny because I had my son in January, and that was when I finished up my coaching license, not knowing what I was gonna do with it yet. And I started an online kind of movement membership. Started just as Pilates, online Pilates because I also got certified as a Pilates instructor while I was pregnant. And I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do with this, but I know I don't want to work in casino marketing. Love my dad, but that was just not it for me. And I had no idea that we were gonna be locked down for like however long, almost up to two years. Or in and out. Yeah. And so it turned out to be perfect timing, and just what a lot of people needed was to be able to, you know, have movement in classes like that at home. So it worked out.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Do you feel like you really show drafting off of that? You know, because obviously when you started there, you know, COVID has changed a lot of things, specifically from that online space. Right. At first it was we don't know what to do, move remote. And now you're shifting back into more kind of people are back into that personalized space. Like, you know, part of that trajectory is great, but also I'm sure there's like a little bit of like nervousness once that starts to slow down a little bit. Like you see with some of these like Peloton corporations and things like that.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, for sure. I have what I have really welcomed into my own life is kind of this hybrid model where on the days where I'm super busy and I'm like, shit, like I have no time, like of 20 minutes. I'm gonna do a workout at home because something is better than nothing. But then, and I'll do something on my app. But then, you know, when I can go into a class and be around other people, like I think we all I'm not speaking like for everybody, but for everybody that I talk to, we all want that human connection. We thrive on that, we crave it. And so when I can get that, I really do try to. Like Sunday, I went to a really great class with my assistant who's now become a really good friend of mine. And I think where the idea kind of for Rhea actually came from was as I was coaching, I was often referring people out. And so it was like, oh, well, you can go get acupuncture here, or go get a clonic there, or go get some IVs here, or use this nurse practitioner to prescribe you progesterone. And so it was almost less so about the in-person thing and more so about, which I really do value, but and more so about the need for, I think everyone has this need for efficiency in like in the day and age that we live in. And so I'm like, where can I, can I make a place where you can do it all in one? So to answer your question, yes, I think that there is a little bit of like, I think that we're all, we all want to move offline. Like there's Zoom does not create the same sense of like fulfillment as or like an online workout as like going in person and feeling that sense of accomplishment. But I also think that there's a need there, you know, a modern day need for it sometimes.

SPEAKER_03:

So the hybrid model is seemed like definitely where everybody's going to. The best of both worlds. Efficiencies as well as you know the ability to connect.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. Exactly. Talk about Rhea. So what what are you guys gonna be doing there? I'm looking online, it looks absolutely amazing.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you. I'm really excited. It's gonna be amazing. And I was talking about it today because it feels like something that I made for myself, which I feel like the best powerful businesses come from is a need that you yourself have. And so when I think about my life and how busy I am with three kids and you know, trying to run a house and also trying to run a business, I I want to be as efficient with my time as possible. And so creating this space where women can come and take care of themselves. And I think that's the first and most important point is that Rhea is a women's only space, which is very niche and unique in that we really don't have a lot of places like that in Vegas. And it was a really tough decision to make because we're like, we could get persecuted for this. Like people are gonna be like, why are you only doing women? You're excited.

SPEAKER_01:

Chris and I were like, how can we sign up? Yeah, that was the first thing we were gonna ask. How can we get all these treatments, man? So we were gonna hate on you. Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04:

It's like you're excluding men, and it's like, you know, there are plenty of men's clinics in town where you can go and get your not as good as Ray.

SPEAKER_01:

I was looking at, and I'm being serious. You guys got some you have really good stuff, yeah. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_04:

So yeah, it's women only. And the reason we did that is because I feel like women are the caretakers for everyone in their life for the most part. We take care of our spouse, we take care of our kids, we take care of our work. Um, and it's really hard for us to find the time to be able to disconnect and actually take care of ourselves. And so I thought about this in my head. I was like, because we were making the decision. I'm like, well, would I like would I want Chad there if I was like really trying to relax?

SPEAKER_01:

You sound like my wife, dude. Jesus. You sound literally like what Savannah would say to you.

SPEAKER_00:

100%. I guess you you're 100% right. I can't hate on that. I like it.

SPEAKER_04:

That's true. Would I want him there? And I was like, I love him so much, but if I was truly trying to be relaxed, I would be, if I was he was there, I'd be like, I wonder if he's having a good time. I wonder if he his how's treatment's going. And so we're like, no, women only. And so that's the first point. The second point is like we are really focused on looking at you as an individual and taking care of you from a holistic standpoint. So we're not just fitness and meditation, which a lot of places are, or a sauna and cold plunge, like a lot of places are, or like just, you know, doing your labs and giving you a readout on that. We're doing it all. So we're you're coming in and you're first gonna get the diagnostic piece, which is really, in my eyes, super important for us to be able to give you quality of care. So diagnostics, meaning we have a breath test that looks at your resting metabolic rate and a lot of your metabolic health markers. And then we also have blood work, stool testing, adrenal stress testing, that's a saliva test. And we're looking at all of that to tell you, okay, here is why you might not be feeling like a hundred percent. Because I feel like through my coaching practice, so many women who I have seen over the years aren't feeling 100%. They're exhausted, they're burnout, they're anxious, they're bloated. And so it's like, okay, here's what we're seeing, and we're giving you a root cause as to why, where a lot of times your doctor doesn't do that because they're running everything through insurance.

SPEAKER_01:

Yep.

SPEAKER_04:

And they're taking seven minutes with you and they're not.

SPEAKER_01:

Sometimes less than that. Yeah, literally. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

They're not giving you the time of day. And then from there, we are running a system off of credits. And so you can use your credits at Raya towards like anything that you want and what your lab work is pointing you in the direction of. So let's say you're really exhausted, your adrenals are burnt out. Maybe you do an IV that's helpful for that, and you get some, you do a couple of Reiki circles and meditations and some deep tissue massage. But maybe you're somebody who has digestive issues. So you're gonna do some colonics and nutrition coaching, and you are going to do some low-impact fitness classes. So it's really based off of your lab work, what you want, and how you want to focus on caring for yourself while you're there. And then us like helping you assist with that with our app outside. So you're gonna be able to track your results and use some of our tools and templates outside of a practice. That's a great idea. Very organic. Sorry, that's really long.

SPEAKER_01:

No, but it's it makes a lot of sense because it's it's literally organic and it's scripted to specifically what you want. You're not just thrown in, it's literally set up that way.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and that's kind of my question. How do you you know how do you develop that script? Right. I think that's an important part of the piece of it. And obviously, you have a background and you have a good education in this space, but when you're developing you know, a space, there's only a limit amount of things you can have, right? Yeah, but in the world, there's a million things that you could put in it in this health space. You know, how do you develop or understand what what you feel is the most important pieces to put inside of the business?

SPEAKER_04:

Let me just tell you the like when you said we brought that up, like I have to eat today alone, like the licensing piece of all of this between all of the things that we've decided to put into this space has been hell is a nice. Because like even getting a massage license in the city of Las Vegas is so hard. Red tape on everything. Uh-huh. And so, with all of that, it's like we have to have a business license, a massage license, like a separate license for our medical provider to be able to practice in a space that is not owned by a medically licensed person such as myself. And so that part has been really challenging. But I think it was kind of goes back to what I was saying around when I was coaching and like what people were asking for. And a lot of the things also that I do with my own time that I have seen us a huge difference and like really move the needle for me in terms of how I feel in my body. And so those two things informed me of like, okay, what are we gonna put in the practice? And I was like, okay, well, I know every time I've tried to get pregnant, I've done acupuncture, and like that has been a thing that works for me. So we're gonna have acupuncture there. I get a deep tissue massage every week because like it is so healing for my nervous system. We're gonna have that there. I did like lymphatic massage for a really long time to help with my digestive system. We're gonna have that there. So kind of going through those things of like what I've recommended to people and what I've done myself. And and yeah, I think that like just having knowledgeable practitioners who know what they're doing and who can really give the client like the best service possible is the way that we decided to go. And for just for me personally, I struggled really badly for a long time with hypothyroidism. And in over the last decade, it's all of these like different things that I've tried that have gotten me to a place where now I'm on the lowest dose of medication possible, whether it's diet, movement, and some of these practices. And so I know not everybody who comes to us is going to be struggling with that, but they're things that can help everybody.

SPEAKER_01:

So that's interesting. That's huge. Yeah. So talk a little bit about the focus on hormones and women's health, right? So I don't know much about that. So how can you kind of give it a breakdown of why you focused on that?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. So 95% of women will struggle with a hormonal imbalance in their lifetime.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Whether that is something like me with hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is not functioning properly, which controls your metabolism, how hot or cold you are, the rate of growth of your hair, skin, and nails. So really impacts how you're feeling in your body, or something like insulin resistance, which, like, I think it's now like one in three or four Americans struggle with, which is uh, you know, a metabolic disease, or something like PCOS, infertility, all of these different things that women go through. And kind of like we were talking about, most doctors are being like, here's a birth control pill, or like, here is a prescription for you to sleep, because we're putting a band-aid on something rather than digging a little bit deeper and trying to find what the root cause of why you are not sleeping. Why are you feeling anxious? Why do you need a birth control pill to regulate your periods? We want to at Rayo and through my practice, we want to know why. So that way we can heal the underlying cause to give you a sustainable result versus putting a band-aid on it and you're on a pill for the rest of your life. That's not like helpful.

SPEAKER_01:

That's what a moneymaker is. But you're figuring out, yeah, that's crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And it's so much of it can really be resolved with diet and lifestyle changes. And so many people don't know that because they're not educated and they're not informed. And that doesn't mean that at Rhea we're not giving you the assistance that is gonna make you feel better firsthand. But for example, like if you were to go into a Western doctor's office and again, you were like, I'm really not sleeping, like I I'm waking up three times a night, like this fucking sucks. Excuse my language, it's not true. That's true. Like, I was actually feeling like that after I had my daughter. And what most doctors would do is be like, here's a prescription for Ambien, or here's a prescription for Trazodone, see you never refill this forever. What was going on for me, and what's going on for a ton of women, especially in their late 30s and 40s, is we start having this decline in progesterone, which is our hormone that helps us to sleep. It helps us to feel calm, it helps us to feel less anxious. And if you don't know that, you're just gonna take the sleeping pill and go on your married way. But for me, after I had my daughter, I took progesterone for three months, one capsule at night, and I slept better. I felt better. And so it's not like we're gonna be like, oh, just do these diet and lifestyle changes and wait and don't feel good until you know they that kicks in. Because it can take 90 days. Yeah, we're gonna help support you now, and then we're also gonna give you the lifestyle changes to make that sustainable.

SPEAKER_01:

See, this is why businesses are good. And I'm not just saying that, I'm being serious. Like because you know, we're a business podcast, obviously, but we still focus on culture and who's making it, who's literally making an impact. And you found a problem, yeah, and now you're actually bringing a service. That's why it's gonna be successful. Thank you. I appreciate that. Because you're filing you know, filling the need because I know we we've all had you know issues with trying to get pregnant and things along those lines, and the diet and all those things. So adding all these together is it seems like it'll be a home run.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_01:

Is so did you touch on a little bit of that when you were coaching with wellness by Kelly and started figuring out, okay, kind of almost beta testing, saying, like, okay, this is working, this is working.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, absolutely. I think that I got my coaching certification, it was really general, and then I went back and got more certifications in just specific hormone health because I I knew that that was something I struggled with. And whenever I talked about it on Instagram, the women who follow me, I think it's just natural you kind of talk to the like you mirror your audience, kind of mirrors you, right? I'm sure you guys noticed that. And so I ended up, you know, between 2022 and 2024, having a really full client load where I was seeing about 25 people a week for an hour-long session, and all of it was about hormonal health. And like I I was actually writing a newsletter today about this one client of mine who came to me with like really severe endometriosis. We she did not believe me. She was on two types of birth control an IUD form that was hormonal, and then an oral birth control pill. And she's like, I'm never going to be off of it. Yeah. Wow. And she's like, I'm never gonna be off of these birth control pills. Like my doctor says I can't. And I'm like, okay, okay, like I will let you speak. And so we coached together for two years. And by the end of it, she was off both, and by by the way, she was having pain still with both of these birth control pill forms. And by the end of it, with all the dietary changes, getting her C reactive protein, which is an inflammation marker lower, her, she was having cycles and having no pain at all. And she was like, I did not believe that this was possible. And so just going through cases like that with a variety of different things, whether it's weight loss or mood, or somebody who is like dependent on wine because they're so stressed out, like there's so many different things that came up in my practice that I was like, okay, like we could definitely have a place where we could implement where I found that I struggled in those years where my client load was so full, is that I didn't have like enough of me. And so I was so burnt out that I was like, I can't coach 25 people a week. And that was when I decided in 2024 after I had my daughter that I was like, I need to take a year and just like step back because I knew I always wanted a physical location, but I also realized like I need more practitioners to be able to do it right and do it well and serve as many people as I can. And I didn't want to do that digitally, like I think that it again, like we were talking about the being, it kind of gets lost.

SPEAKER_01:

Energy is everything, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. And so I think that that's kind of where that all came from is like, okay, how can I have other people support me? And I think one of the biggest things and like best lessons I learned from my own father in business was like, hire people who have who are either smarter than you or have different skill sets than you that can do things that you're not capable of doing because that's how you one start to delegate things and create a bigger something bigger than yourself. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

It fills the holes, yeah. You're missing all your blind spots.

SPEAKER_04:

And that's what I think that is happening with this, with this physical space that we're creating.

SPEAKER_03:

So I make side because I feel like this is one of those areas that, you know, for whatever reason or not, that you don't hear a lot about. Like you don't hear a lot about this type of it, because it feels, you know, I think it's a hard subject to broach in a lot of situations. I would assume obviously I I don't have that have that area, but you just talk with my wife about it. Yeah. Like it's always something that comes up, we talk about, and it's almost we don't know why or what's happening here. How hard is it to have to educate people through that process and break down those barriers that they're maybe creating for themselves because they don't want to hear that maybe I am having some of these hormonal channels I can't help with?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that's such a great question. And I think that it is probably the hardest, at least when I first started, it was the hardest part because you never know how to navigate those types of conversations with someone you're meeting for the first time. And so that's why when I would do consultations with people, they would be a 30 minutes to an hour long because some people are like, I just want to tell you about my physical symptoms and that's it. And I don't want to give you any other information about me or my life. And then some people go into their life story and they want to like tell you everything, and you're like, okay, like that's cool. And what I know to be true is that it's all connected. There's this really great book out right now. It's called Mind Your Body. It's by a woman named Nicole Sachs, came out like probably six months ago, and it's all about the mind-body connection and how like research, like not just like, you know, woo-woo nonsense, but like research, data-driven studies that actually show that when we have like emotional trauma or we're constantly stressed, or whatever the case may be mentally and emotionally, that that's going to impact our physical body is going to create symptoms. And so I think that getting into that type of conversation with clients and then educating on that, them on that, and being like, we have to make some serious changes, not just with like what you're eating, because that's the easy part, but like with what you believe to be true about yourself. Like, for example, my worth is dependent on my work. So I am literally constantly busy. I don't say no to anything. I have to create boundaries, I have to say no to stuff. I need to stop like chronically dieting and counting every macro. Like those things, those mental crazy yes are like the big things that people don't want to talk about. And that's why when I was coaching and and still, and I still have some clients to this day, our sessions are an hour long and we work together for no less than three months because it takes time educate enough. And for them, not just for them to like be educated, but also for them to trust me enough to buy into what they're doing and want to share things that might be uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01:

That's a great perspective. Yeah, we're explaining like that. I love the transparency too, man. Because a lot of people aren't open enough to be able to do, you know, to talk like that. And it and we all got problems as you get up in age, too. That's the other piece is trying to make those adjustments. You don't understand why you might have anxiety. You think it might be the diet, but yeah, you never know. Yeah. So I appreciate you talking about that. Look, I want to talk a little bit about just your perspective on resolutions, right? Everybody every year has a resolution, right? Including myself, right? And they say that 80% of folks cancel those resolutions, right? But I'm just curious your perspective on how to fight self-sabotage. I know you've talked about that a lot and staying consistent. Yeah. What's one perspective that's worked for you that or maybe help, you know, some of your clients that help them stay consistent and not self-sabotage?

SPEAKER_04:

Gosh, man, I think that that is, you know, we even talked about it. Like, we're like, we know that like the biggest hit for Ray is gonna come in January because everybody's making those resolutions. But my goal is for people to again to stay the course and really like be like, okay, not only am I gonna do this in January, I'm gonna make this commitment to myself for the next year or however long. And I think that there's so many reasons that people might self-sabotage, whether it is the fact that they are super disorganized. And a lot of people like to lie to themselves about that. It's like, oh yeah, like I'm I'm not disorganized, but it's like nothing's in your calendar, you're not on time for things, or your physical space is like a mess. Or maybe you are overly busy and you overschedule yourself, you say yes to too many things and you don't know what your priorities are, or you're people pleaser, or you're a perfectionist. Like, again, there's so many different reasons why we commit to something and then we fall off because X, Y, and Z thing. But what I've learned when it comes to consistency and through coaching like these hundreds and hundreds of women over the last five years is that committing to one thing at a time is really and like some people hate that because like I will I have a client who to this day, she's like, I did the sauna and I, you know, ate my meal and then I did the cold plunge and and then and then, but then the next day, like I couldn't do it all. It's like, yeah, because you're trying to do like 10 million things. Yeah, so commit to one thing for like 30 days. And it's like if you can meditate for 30 days, it's like, okay, you have proven to yourself, you've created this trust with yourself, you have this confidence now. It feels like a part of your routine and it's there. And then you build off of that. Doesn't mean that you can't do the sauna and the cold plunge and the the breakfast and all the things. It means one thing at a time.

SPEAKER_01:

Don't bring yourself out on progress. Exactly right. Yeah, love that. Exactly. You changed your diet a little bit, right? So you're vegan anymore? So you you actually eat meat? Is that what I'm gonna say? When did this happen?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's funny. I actually was shooting some new content for our app that we're relaunching in November today, and my social media girl Andrea was over at my house and she's like, Since when do you eat chicken? Like last year.

SPEAKER_01:

Because I remember looking at your cookbook and everything, trying to figure out, but now you're eating meat. That's that's impressive, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So when I got pregnant with my second son Enzo, I remember there was so much shame around it. I was like, I want steak.

SPEAKER_01:

Like, I really want steak. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_04:

And to give you a little backstory, I come from a background of like a pretty severe eating disorder. And so healing from that ended up being a variety of different diets, from like paleo to keto to vegan, that was kind of the last stitch effort. And then I was like, you know what? What if I just like ate what sounded good and like enjoyed my life? And it's really funny because coming back to that conversation about like when we were talking about counting macros and how that can be like super stressful or like being on a specific diet, it's like why do there have to be so many rules around things? And I think that like one of the things I admire about generally about you guys as men is that like that's just not like really a thing. Like my husband has never once been like, yeah, like I can only eat, you know, until 7 p.m. Like, no, he's gonna have a bag of chips if he's hungry.

SPEAKER_00:

Like that is just 1000% right. That's what we have. So we have the dad box. I'll do some more sit-ups, I'll do some more sit-ups on the border. Yeah, it's that's true though. It's true. Yeah, very true.

SPEAKER_04:

So I think for us as women, there's oftentimes a lot of pressure around like what we look like, what our bodies look like. And then we are unfortunately driven in a lot of different directions now because of social media, especially. But before that, you know, when I was younger, like magazines and billboards and all that stuff around like what you need to do to look a certain way, whether it's this diet or that diet or at this supplement. And what I have found is like by with adding meat back in and with like not being so insanely strict with my diets, is that like I feel one, the best in my body that I ever have. I have the most energy. I feel focused at work. I'm the most like lean I've ever been. And I think that I also had this really weird mentality at one point that like if I strength train and eat meat, then I'm gonna get bulky. It's like now that I know about women's hormones, like we don't even have enough testosterone in our bodies unless we're like taking it like in the world. But if you're doing it naturally and we don't even have enough testosterone to do that, like that's not so it's it's not just not possible. And so if that's a fear of yours, it's like eat the meat, do you lift the weights and enjoy your life. And my diet for the most part is really whole foods. Like it's I'm not eating, you know, processed anything for the most part, like unless I have you know a night out, or it's like I'm I'm really struggling on a road trip or something. But yeah, it looks like like today I had a scramble, an egg white scramble with some sweet potatoes, and then for lunch I had a cauliflower rice bowl with like eggplant and salmon. And then for dinner just now, I had some steak and some homemade French fries and some roasted broccoli, and it was great. I mean, it sounds great. Yeah, fantastic.

SPEAKER_01:

That's good. And you feel good.

SPEAKER_04:

And that's like all like one, protein is a building block of hormones. So that's and and we need fat, we need healthy fats to be able to build hormones. And our brain runs on glucose. And so we need all three macros, and I think that's where so many people go wrong. It's like, I'm gonna be low carb or like I'm gonna be vegan or I'm gonna be keto. And it's like if you want to feel good, one, your bot like feeling good is relying on your hormones for both men and women.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Because we need stable blood sugar, healthy testosterone levels, healthy estrogen, progesterone levels for women, and all of that stuff is built on what we're putting in.

SPEAKER_01:

That's awesome. Yep, awesome. I can't let you, I gotta ask you one question about podcasting, right? Because you had your podcast uh balancing balancing chaos.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Watch the episode twice with Dana White. And it's not just because it's Dana White, it was actually very, very good.

SPEAKER_04:

He's great.

SPEAKER_01:

But I gotta ask you, what was your favorite podcast that you've interviewed? Oh, that's our favorite guests that you've interviewed.

SPEAKER_04:

I have a few. That series where we had Dana on, when we had Gary Breca.

SPEAKER_01:

Gary's say that. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if you guys have met him, but he's I haven't met him, but I've watched a lot of his stuff yet.

SPEAKER_04:

He's fantastic, super knowledgeable, very, very highly educated when it comes to health and wellness. And I know he's got a lot of male followers, but he's great. I also interviewed one of the foremost experts on hormones. Her name was is Jolene Brighton. She's fantastic. And she was a great interview. Trying to think of who else. Um, those are probably the two that stand out the most to me in terms of health and wellness.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you enjoy did you enjoy podcasting to help you in any other business ventures and things on those lines?

SPEAKER_04:

Or I love podcasting. I think it's super fun. Like the when conversations kind of feel natural and organic and like you're just like talking to a couple friends, it's great. I think that the way that you guys are doing it in person is even better because so all my episodes were recorded on Zoom.

SPEAKER_01:

Tell that to Chris. Chris wanted to do it. He wanted to stay when he was so happy with pandemic, he wouldn't leave the house. I was gonna lose my mind because I couldn't stand being on Zoom. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. So I think that, and I did have a few different whether it was a business coach or development coach, things like that on my podcast that were really, really great. But I when we opened Rhea, our goal is to have speakers come in. So experts in their fields. I was actually talking to my friend Chrissy Lawler. If you guys haven't talked to her, she's awesome. She's got like 400,000 followers. Um, and she is like a sleep trainer here in Vegas. And so she doesn't just book brother.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm not even gonna tell you we we'll talk offline what we were just talking about, but I Probably I probably need to hire her. Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you what Chris recommended for me. So yeah, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

She sleep trains both adults and kids, which is cool.

SPEAKER_01:

I probably need that. I'm not even gonna exaggerate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And she, I was like talking to her earlier today. I was like, you'd be great to have in there. We'll core the conversations and we'll put them on the app later on. So it's not like a podcast, but I think that having those conversations that more and more people can be privy to, they're so helpful. There's nothing. My son asked me the other night, he's like, Mom, do you guys know what Tonies are? So it's like this little box for the people out there with kids. And like it's a one way we've gotten our kids to be able to go like to sleep at night in their rooms without us laying with them until they fall asleep. Yeah, for sure. So they put you put this little thing on and it tells you a story. He's like, Mom, why don't adults have Tonies? And I was like, We do, honey. It's called a podcast. Good point. Yeah, very good point. Because he's like, it teaches me a lot of stuff. And I was like, same here.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, I got up. That's very good. I gotta ask you about the Fatita family, right?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, please.

SPEAKER_01:

What's the biggest misconception, right? Coming from a successful family, but now you're living in your own lane. I'm just curious to hear from your perspective. Because we've had your brother on, done very, very great things outside of the business. But just from your perspective, building your own lane, what's the biggest misconception that people think that they have of maybe of me or of my family? Both. I'm gonna say both, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

It's funny. My assistant was out the other day, and obviously, like nobody knows who she is. And she's like, I was like having coffee, reading my book, and these people were just talking about your family. And I had no idea who I was, and she was like, and then I just like got out of the left. They weren't saying anything bad, but she just like thought it was funny. I think that people, when it comes to my family, I think that people, I think the biggest misconception, and I've talked about, and it's not, I don't want to say that like we're like struggling or anything like that, but I think that a lot of people think that like because of who we are, like everything is easy. And like life is just so easy and great and wonderful all the time. And what I will tell you is that like every family, every individual has like struggles and problems and issues and things that are challenging and they may not look the same as somebody else's problem, but they're still problems. And we are so blessed and we're so fortunate, but like it's not just like this perfect, you know, situation all the time. And so I think that recognizing that is really important. I think that people's biggest misconception about like me starting my own thing is probably that like my dad's gonna do it for me, or my dad's like backing the financially backing the whole thing and full transparency. My mom is my partner in this, but like half of it is mine. And I did it myself, and like I got here myself, and I've spent the last nine months building it, and I signed the lease, and all of that is in my name, and so I'm taking on all the liability. And so, so yeah, I think that that's probably the biggest thing is that you know, I'm not doing all the hard work, but you know, people can also get the thing.

SPEAKER_01:

You gotta execute, yeah. That's the biggest thing.

SPEAKER_03:

It's great to see that you did actually put in the work, you got the training, you got the education, you got the certifications, you put all this stuff together. It doesn't seem at least from our perspective, something that's very easy to accomplish.

SPEAKER_04:

So it's funny because you know, again, like I love my dad. He's the one who wanted me to go to business school. And I went to business school at NYU for two years, and it was the best life experience I have ever gotten. Like getting to live in the city, I still to this day say I wish I could live.

SPEAKER_01:

I love New York. New York's New York's one of my favorite cities. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Could never do it with three kids and two massive dogs, but you know, maybe someday when my husband and I retire. But I think about it and I'm like, if I like not it by no means were those years wasted, but I don't use any of that in terms of like what I do, like all of the coaching certifications, hormone health certifications, like that's what I use in my life.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And it's just, it's funny. It's like, if I would have just done that in the first place, obviously I wouldn't be here today, but you know, life.

SPEAKER_01:

So that's interesting. You know, I'm curious for myself because we're all super busy, right? Kids, business, the whole nine, running around seven days a week. You know, what systems do you put in place, you know, for yourself as far as building a business, being a wife, being a mom, you know, what what systems do you that that work for you?

SPEAKER_04:

I will say, because I feel like a lot of people don't acknowledge this. Like, I'm very fortunate to have a support system with you know, with me being a working mom. Like, if I didn't have a nanny, like life would be like that would be really challenging. And so I would just want to be fully upfront and honest that like I do not do three kids. Yeah. And like all of that on my own. Now, that being said, I am absolutely committed to a few things and like the two of those, like dropping them off at school, picking them up from school. Like, I want to be there for that. That's really important for me as a kid. I took the bus. I love you, mom. That was like super true. And so I want to, that's one thing that's really important. And so I really have like a morning routine down pat where I will get up at 5:30. I will do my meditation because I would not be a sane human without it. And then get their breakfast ready, get my breakfast ready, get them ready for school, drop them off, go do a workout, and then my day starts from there. And I think having that rhythm in the morning, like I remember over the summer I didn't, and it was kind of like, oh, like I'll just flow into work at like 10 o'clock. And then I would be up until like midnight, like trying to play catch up because I didn't have a rhythm. And so I think that that for me is super important.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. I agree. I 100% agree.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Last question for you as far as just on the business side, just business and life advice in general. What what's one lesson every entrepreneur should hear that's made the biggest impact for you?

SPEAKER_04:

I think that the biggest lesson that I have taken away from being an entrepreneur, because now it's been like almost 10 years.

SPEAKER_01:

It's a long time.

SPEAKER_04:

Um trust your gut. And when something no longer feels right, it isn't.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And I remember feeling in my coaching practice, like I was telling you guys, like I was burnt out and I was exhausted and I was overwhelmed. And there were, you know, it doesn't mean that I hated all of it. Like after calls, I would still feel super fulfilled because I was helping someone, and that's like what my passion and my purpose in life really are. But overall, generally, it took me like over a year to finally and to like have a kid to finally be like, okay, like I need to stop this in order to figure out what's next. And my coaching practice was really successful. Like we were making it multiple six figures a year, like just me coaching, but it's like that isn't what I wanted to be doing anymore. And if I would have just taken a step back and trusted my gut, like in 2023, I Rhea would already be open by now. And so I think that that's truly the biggest thing when you're an entrepreneur, you know when something's off. Even like it came up today where you know, I have a a contractor working for me on something, and we're talking about a payment. And it's like I know that this isn't right, and I'm gonna fight for it. Like it's it's it's a gut feeling. And so yeah, love that.

SPEAKER_01:

Trust your gut.

SPEAKER_04:

Trust your gut.

SPEAKER_01:

I can't leave anybody. I'm a big foodie. And now that I know that you're eating meat, now I need that same. What is your favorite restaurant in Vegas now? And if it has it changed, yeah, has it changed for you?

SPEAKER_04:

My favorite restaurant in Vegas is Eto. My husband and I go there for like special occasions, like uh his birthday, our anniversary. We're going for the first time on our anniversary.

SPEAKER_01:

I love it. We're going, we're literally, I just made the reservation for Eto. You got it. Excellent. Yeah, Fountain Blue. Our goal of it is like, okay, first of all. We have our 15-year anniversary coming up for that. Congrats! That's huge.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I always thought, like, oh my gosh, I was like, and that like I love sushi, but like I'm like, I don't want to eat like what somebody like with no you know ability to change. First of all, they're super accommodating, but second of all, everything is so fresh, nothing is fishy, nothing, it's like by far. And you also don't leave feeling like overly stuffed. 19 courses, and you feel great when you leave.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm looking forward to your brother. Recommended, and we went there, it was freaking awesome. And Penny Kame.

SPEAKER_04:

Kame.

SPEAKER_01:

We went there and it was awesome. Yeah, it was awesome. Unbelievable. Yeah, it was awesome. So I'm looking forward to eating. I'm glad you said that. Yeah, awesome. Yeah, what else? What else is up for you? So, last question for you. What else do you want to leave us out on?

SPEAKER_04:

Gosh, I don't know. I feel like my life feels super full right now. I feel really blessed. Doing a lot of charity work with children's cancer organizations like Make a Wish and candlelighters and cure for the kids. And so I just got back into that recently. And I feel like for anybody who is like looking for a little extra kind of like fulfillment in their life, yeah, not even money. Go volunteer your time. I promise you, you will feel like I love getting, I feel I love feeling like a day, I leave a day feeling like really balanced. Like when I have a day where I don't get to see my kids at all, like that was like again, and it's some some days are gonna be like this. Like it's just a nature of being an entrepreneur. Like some days are going to be all business and like you don't have a choice. And I get that. But like Sunday, I had an event at Durango. We were there literally from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. cleaning up, and it's like you probably wore out afterwards, yeah. Yeah, and like it's like they came for my kids came for like 20 minutes, but you don't really get to hang out. Um, but a day where you feel like I did something for myself, something with my family, something like for my business, and something like for the community. I feel the best on those days when my head hits the pillow. I'm like, God, yeah, I feel super accomplished. I could do anything right now.

SPEAKER_01:

That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Well, good stuff, man. We gotta keep applauding you. Thank you. Likewise. And Raya, Rhea opens in November, right? Do we have a date? Oh, November 5th. Okay, awesome.
