More Than a Product: The People Behind the Pitch with Raina Windham

When it comes to wellness, many people are overwhelmed by all the choices. From supplements to shakes to oils, it can be hard to know what actually works and who to trust.

Some products promise quick results. Others sound too good to be true. And with so much information online, it’s easy to feel confused or unsure. That’s why real conversations matter. Sometimes, what people need most is not a product but someone who listens, shares honestly, and points them toward small steps that make a real difference.

The truth is, wellness should never feel like pressure. It’s not about being perfect or doing everything at once. It’s about finding what works for your body and your life. That often starts with education, asking questions, learning what ingredients actually do, and being open to trying something new without guilt or fear.

When health and wellness are offered with kindness, patience, and honesty, it becomes easier to focus on what really matters.

At the end of the day, wellness isn’t about selling or following trends. It’s about helping others feel good, live well, and make informed choices that truly support their health. And sometimes, the simplest tools shared with care can have the biggest impact.

Raina Windham is a dynamic entrepreneur, devoted mother and wife, and the Senior Vice President of Bravenly Global. With a passion for health and wellness, she leads efforts to promote natural, science-backed products designed to help people feel better, look better, and live healthier lives.

In this episode, I talk with Raina Windham about how she started with Bravenly and why helping people feel better is her main goal. We talk about the importance of trust, clean ingredients, and how simple wellness tools can support busy people like moms, teachers, and caregivers. Raina also shares why it’s okay to ask questions, learn first, and take care of your own health without pressure.

"Listening to the customer first, just like you would listen to your patient first, then offering them solutions to help them, and continuing to follow up." – Raina Windham
