Meet Tuesday Coffman

We recently connected with Tuesday Coffman and have shared our conversation below.

Tuesday, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

Finding my purpose has been a journey shaped by my deep-rooted faith in God, my experiences in healthcare, and the challenges I’ve overcome in my personal life. I’ve dedicated several years as a healthcare executive working in both for-profit and non-profit sectors, where I found true peace and happiness in helping others. This calling to serve has always been a core part of who I am, but my purpose was solidified through a more personal battle.

Overcoming a stroke and brain aneurysm was a life-altering experience. It tested my strength, resilience, and faith in ways I could never have imagined. The recovery process was difficult, but it also brought to light a new challenge—hair thinning due to the medication I was on. What seemed like another obstacle became the seed of inspiration for my next venture.

I created my own all-natural hair care line, birthed out of my struggle and my desire to help others facing similar challenges. This line isn’t just about hair care; it’s about healing, empowerment, and the belief that our greatest struggles can lead to our greatest triumphs.

Through this journey, I’ve realized that my purpose extends beyond healthcare. It’s about using my experiences, my faith, and my passion for helping others to create something that makes a difference in people’s lives. My purpose is rooted in the belief that even in our darkest moments, there is always the potential to bring forth light and healing—not just for ourselves, but for others as well.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m thrilled to share more about my all-natural hair care line, a brand deeply rooted in personal experience and a commitment to holistic well-being. Each product is crafted in small batches by me, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. My journey to create this line began out of necessity—after overcoming a stroke and brain aneurysm, I experienced significant hair thinning due to medication. This challenge became the catalyst for developing products that not only address hair health but do so naturally and effectively.

My current range includes a variety of nourishing and restorative products:

• Hair Oil: A blend of herbs and essential oils that promotes hair growth, strengthens roots, and adds shine.
• Hair Tea Rinse: A refreshing treatment that revitalizes the scalp, reduces shedding, and enhances hair strength.
• Edge Cream: Specifically formulated to care for delicate edges, promoting growth and preventing breakage.
• Leave-In Conditioner: Provides deep moisture and detangling, leaving hair soft, manageable, and protected from environmental stressors.
• Hair Perfume: A unique blend that not only leaves your hair smelling divine but also adds a subtle layer of conditioning and protection.

The benefits of using all-natural products are profound. Unlike products filled with synthetic ingredients, my line focuses on harnessing the power of nature to support hair health. These formulations are free from harmful chemicals, making them gentle on your hair and scalp while being environmentally conscious.

What excites me most about my brand is the personal connection I have with each product. Every batch is made with intention, care, and a deep understanding of the struggles that many face with their hair. It’s not just about selling products; it’s about offering solutions that work, backed by my own journey of healing and recovery.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to expand the line with an all-natural shampoo and conditioner, which will be available soon. But my vision doesn’t stop there—I’m planning to partner with other all-natural businesses to host an all-natural hair care conference and hair show. This event will be a celebration of natural beauty, providing a platform for education, connection, and empowerment in the world of hair care.

In everything I do, my mission remains clear: to offer products that truly make a difference, rooted in nature and created with love and care. Whether you’re on a similar journey or simply looking for quality hair care that you can trust, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, three qualities and skills have been particularly impactful in my journey: resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning.

1. Resilience:
Resilience has been at the core of everything I’ve accomplished. Overcoming a stroke and brain aneurysm required an immense amount of mental and physical strength. Resilience helped me navigate not only my recovery but also the challenges of building a business from the ground up. My advice to those early in their journey is to cultivate resilience by embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. Life will inevitably throw obstacles your way, but how you respond to them will define your path forward. Practice mindfulness, stay grounded in your purpose, and always believe in your ability to overcome.

2. Adaptability:
The ability to adapt has been crucial, especially in both healthcare and entrepreneurship. In healthcare, the landscape is always evolving, and being able to pivot and adjust to new circumstances is essential. Similarly, when I faced hair thinning due to medication, I adapted by finding a solution that not only addressed my needs but also led to the creation of my hair care line. For those starting out, I recommend staying open-minded and flexible. The journey may not go exactly as planned, and being able to adjust your course without losing sight of your end goals will serve you well. Embrace change and be willing to explore new approaches.

3. Commitment to Continuous Learning:
Continuous learning has been a cornerstone of my journey. Whether in healthcare or business, there is always something new to learn. My journey in developing my all-natural hair care line required me to educate myself on herbal remedies, product formulation, and the intricacies of running a business. For those early in their journey, I advise a dedication to lifelong learning. Invest time in acquiring new skills, seek out mentors, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the better equipped you’ll be to navigate the complexities of your journey.

In essence, resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning have been the pillars of my success. For anyone just starting out, focus on building these qualities within yourself. They will not only help you overcome challenges but also empower you to seize opportunities and create a meaningful and fulfilling path forward.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

The most impactful thing my parents did for me was instilling a strong sense of faith and resilience. From a young age, they taught me the importance of believing in myself and in the Lord Jesus Christ, guiding me to stay grounded in my faith even during the most challenging times. This foundation of faith has been my anchor, especially as I navigated through serious health challenges like my stroke and brain aneurysm.

They also modeled resilience in their own lives, showing me that no matter what obstacles come your way, you have the strength to overcome them. Their example and encouragement gave me the courage to face adversity head-on and the confidence to pursue my dreams, no matter how daunting they seemed. This combination of faith and resilience has been instrumental in shaping who I am today and in guiding me through every step of my journey.
