We’re looking forward to introducing you to Shanika Mulrain. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Shanika, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day, I am practicing giving it to God. I am being very intentional about thanking him for a new day first thing in the morning. I am spending one on one time in prayer with God, reading scripture and devotionals THEN proceeding to physically get ready for my day.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
✨ InVigorating Wellness: The Brand ✨
Two Mothers. One Mission. 🙏🏾
We’re Shanika and Mi-Asha — two African American mothers, nurses, and entrepreneurs who turned burnout into purpose. After years of pouring into others as healthcare professionals, we realized we needed to create space for balance, freedom, and family — without losing our passion for helping people feel their best.
That’s how InVigorating Wellness was born: a space where self-care meets purpose through IV hydration and vitamin therapy. Our mission is simple — to help others feel renewed from the inside out while showing our children that it’s possible to chase your dreams without sacrificing yourself.
Through faith, determination, and sisterhood, we continue to grow — one drip, one dream, and one empowered client at a time. 💧
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I’d have to say my grandmother saw me clearly long before I could see myself. Her unwavering support, through every stage of my life, left a lasting impact on me. She never missed a moment to remind me how proud she was, and because of her, giving up was never an option. I pushed forward, no matter what, because I never wanted to let her down.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There were multiple moments during the process of starting and launching Invigorating Wellness when I wasn’t sure if we should move forward. Even though we took our time; researching, taking courses, and preparing, I was still nervous about setting a launch date. We changed it several times.
We faced challenges securing a startup loan, so we decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign. It helped us raise funds for essential supplies and resources, but we still had a long way to go. It was discouraging at times, but we refused to give up. Our persistence paid off when we finally received the funding we needed to officially launch Invigorating Wellness in May 2025.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I think my friends would say that my peace and my faith matter most to me. Those two things guide everything I do. I’ve learned that protecting my peace allows me to show up as my best self: as a mother, a partner, a friend, and a business owner. And my faith keeps me grounded through it all. It’s what reminds me that no matter what challenges come, I’m never walking this journey alone.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
If I laid down my name, my role, and my possessions, what would remain is my faith and my purpose. Those are the things that can’t be taken away from me. I’d still be the woman who believes and trust that God’s plan is bigger than anything I could build on my own.
