Today’s guest is someone who turned personal struggle into a powerful purpose.

In 2015, Jeanne was diagnosed with panic disorder—a life-altering moment that disrupted everything: her plans, her dreams, and her sense of self. But from that breaking point, something beautiful began to emerge.

Out of the ashes of anxiety, Jeanne founded FIGGI Beauty—a skincare brand born from her own experience with sensitive skin, worsened by chronic stress. Drawing from her deep personal insight and her Advanced Certificate in Cosmetic Chemistry, Jeanne created a line of luxurious, effective, and gentle products centered around one remarkable ingredient: South African Rooibos extract.

More than just skincare, FIGGI is a reflection of Jeanne’s journey—one of resilience, calm, and care. Her mission? To help others restore peace to their skin and their lives—especially those of us navigating sensitivity, both inside and out.

In this conversation, she shares how she manages her panic disorder and the incredible journey to found FIGGI.
