Her decision was driven by the need for flexibility for her children and her passion for helping others through nutritional supplements. Without family in Singapore and a husband who traveled frequently, she lacked a traditional "village" support system. A scary incident involving her young son's seizure made her confront the conflict between her demanding job and her family's needs, solidifying her decision to make a change.Today, Dr. Cheryl leads iAM Health, an award-winning health supplement company known for its high-quality, research-driven probiotic products tailored to specific health needs. Despite starting with minimal marketing expenditure, the company experienced significant organic growth, now boasting revenue over a million. Her journey highlights the power of resilience, conviction, and finding balance in the challenging intersection of entrepreneurship and motherhood.—--------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters:01:08 Welcome to Make It Work Podcast01:34 Dr. Cheryl Yeo: From PhD Lab to Probiotic Powerhouse02:03 Why a Mother Left Her Stable Lab Job for Zero Income02:45 The Pivotal Moment That Sparked Change03:50 Unpacking the Invisible Mental Load of Solo Parenting07:08 How a Birthday Party Taught Cheryl to 'Let Go'10:33 Strategic Side Hustles Paved the Way to Entrepreneurship11:03 The Humble Beginnings of iAM Health13:06 When Rejection Hit Hard (and 4-Star Grab Ratings Hurt More!)15:33 Why Your Gut is the Key to 90% of Your Health17:06 The Science Behind iAM Health's Probiotics19:32 How iAM Health Tailors Formulas for Asia's Hidden Deficiencies22:16  How a Celebrity Testimonial Exploded iAM Health's Growth27:44 Life-Changing Lessons (and Tough Love Advice) for Every Working Mom—-------------------------------Connect with Cheryl here:👋 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamhealth.live/👋 Website: iamhealth.liveFollow and connect with Sarah & Make It Work! ⁠https://linktr.ee/makeitwork.podcast⁠💼⁠LinkedIn⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/make-it-work-asia-podcast/📷 ⁠Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/makeitwork.asia/🎵 ⁠TikTok⁠: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@makeitwork.podcast⁠🍏Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/make-it-work/id1701442085🎵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78ulY0B27nYxGB6jPCABPI?si=abfc48d037d943be📥⁠Email⁠: makeitwork.asia@gmail.comJoin our free ⁠Mommas Making It Work whatsapp community⁠: https://bit.ly/MIWcommunity
