In this episode of Resilient as F*k!, I sit down with Isabelle Guilmette, the heart behind Washboard Soapery & Such, to talk about how she’s kept her values intact while scaling, the power of listening to your market, and how she bounced back from personal and professional curveballs—from a studio flood to a hospitalization that forced her to restructure everything.
In this episode of Resilient as F*k!, Vivian Perez sits down with Isabelle Guilmette, the heart behind Washboard Soapery & Such—a natural soap and personal care brand that started with a DIY deodorant and evolved into a 130+ SKU product line.
What began as a passion project in her kitchen grew into a thriving, values-driven business rooted in beauty, slowness, and integrity. Isabelle opens up about how she’s scaled intentionally and navigated major curveballs—from a flooded studio to a hospitalization that forced her to rethink her entire structure.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that slow growth, strong systems, and staying rooted in your why are not just nice-to-haves—they’re how you build something that lasts.
