What does it take for a founder to break new ground in an industry full of barriers and taboos? This episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast features Colette Courtion, CEO and founder of JoyLux, whose personal experience ignited a mission to transform women’s health with innovative, red light therapy solutions for intimate wellness.

Colette shares how JoyLux was born from her own postpartum and perimenopausal struggles, leading her to bring a groundbreaking device to market—despite hurdles like FDA delays, social media restrictions, and the lack of investment in women’s healthcare. She reveals what it was like to gain celebrity support from Halle Berry, as well as how the company weathered the pandemic and navigated tough challenges like rising tariffs and scaling internationally.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, women’s health, and the power of combining personal passion with resilient leadership. Colette’s story offers relatable lessons on perseverance and the importance of being bold in the pursuit of change.
