Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we’re joined by Anita Westlake and Tonia Dolinka for an honest and uplifting conversation about navigating seasons of change in direct sales. After nearly eight years of leadership at Color Street, recent shifts in the business prompted them to reevaluate their path and explore new possibilities. That journey led them to helping launch ABBI, a personalized skincare brand rooted in innovation and wellbeing. From processing grief to reigniting their passion, Anita and Tonia share what it’s like to embrace change, build something new, and lead with purpose in a whole new way. Connect with Anita on her website [anitawithabbi.com] and follow her on Instagram @anitaw_abbi_pioneer.
