Interview with BestYOU founder, Mary Roberts:
Where were you before BestYOU?
Most recently, I’ve been a marketing director for internal communications of 80 statewide agencies. Prior to that role, I led the international trade division for the state and served as the creative strategies and marketing director for the commerce department of the state.
My background also includes teaching and marketing for a small startup company. I’ve experienced numerous career and life path changes and pushed past the fears inherent in change. Throughout my life, I’ve been thanked for mentoring, teaching and motivating others.
Listening to others inspired me to create BestYOU!

Office culture in a few words:
Roll up your sleeves and get it done! Work before play, but always make sure to incorporate play in the plan.
What is the hardest part about starting a business?
Keeping focused and taking it one step at a time, rather than getting overwhelmed by the enormity of it is a challenge.
There are many moving parts and so much to learn or delegate. Enjoying the learning and novelty of any beginning makes it an exciting adventure!
A day running BestYOU looks like:
Each day is entirely different, which is what keeps it exciting! Research and catching up on emails with a cup of herbal tea often starts the day.
Lately I've been teaching French business students International HR and International Marketing with Seagull Institute. I love that my business is flexible enough to have variety in my work.
Favorite part of your job:
I am gratified to help others switch on the lightbulb of understanding and help to get them unstuck and on their way to realizing a new life adventure!
Life has so much to offer. It is fun to work with those who dare to dream the next big dream and 'take life on' to make the dream a reality!
What do you do to relax?
Yoga and long walks!
An evening of good food, drinks and conversation with family and/or friends is a happy place for me.
On Saturday you can be found:
Trader Joe’s, yoga, doing chores, personal grooming and generally organizing my personal side of life.
What was your dream job growing up?
I wanted to be a prima ballerina and then wanted to be an Ambassador.
Your personal style in a few words:
I want to feel fit, feminine, desirable, affluent and I am transitioning to use those filters as I dress daily!
Favorite workout:
I do yoga, lift weights, run or walk the treadmill but prefer long lakefront walks and will join in occasionally on ski trips, mountain climbs in AZ, or indoor climbing with friends and family.
Favorite food:
There are many - variety is one of the joys of life! Recently I have been exploring Ayurveda, the 5000 year old healing system and science of life. For those who are familiar, I am Pitta/Vata and generally working on my Vata imbalances. Interesting stuff!
I am quite new at Ayurveda and slowly incorporating it into my life.
Why is it worth it?
With each person I help, their renewed spirit and improved life has incredible impact on this world.
I have created in my life the possibility of a happy, healthy, loving me and world.
Strengthening families is at the core of my belief system. Strong families begin with healthy, happy adults.
Best piece of advice :
“Be your best YOU” and know that life's possibilities start with DESIRES and then are dependent on your ACTIONS.

What advice would you give an aspiring entrepreneur?
Just do it!
Have a focus and spend every day dedicated to that focus; and bring your awesome to whatever you do. Be bold and believe in yourself with unwavering conviction.
Connect with others for help and to enhance your own skill set.
We are all better as part of a team.
Have fun!
In 10 years:
BestYOU will have positively touched many in a dramatic and profound way, improving the lives of families and in turn benefitting our world.
How do you stay healthy in your busy life?
Taking the time to regularly exercise and meditate are as important as brushing my teeth each day and eating. I work more efficiently and am happier when I am healthy. My urban lifestyle makes it easy to choose walking over driving and in many cases, saves time with an added benefit of exercise!
It is all about choices -
