    The Power of Process in Wellness Entrepreneurship with Nikki Ostrower

    In This Episode In this episode of Systems Simplified, host Adi Klevit talks with Nikki Ostrower about how she built three successful wellness brands by combining purpose, passion, and systems. Nikki shares her journey from working in corporate sales to experiencing burnout and recovery — an experience that ultimately inspired her to dedicate her life to health and wellness. She explains how she built NAO Wellness from her apartment in New York City, scaling it into a thriving company serving both individuals and corporations. When pregnancy forced her to step back, Nikki discovered the power of strong systems and trusted teams. That moment sparked a lasting lesson: when you have the right people, processes, and systems, your business can thrive without you. She goes on to describe how she launched her first wellness center, pivoted during COVID-19 to create the viral Ear Seeds product, and later co-founded Lice Mamas, a company redefining lice treatment with safe, modern methods. Nikki's story is one of resilience, innovation, and leadership through purpose.
