Opu Probiotics

03/03/2026

Today I visited two of our four factories to sign off on projects, and I’m sitting in the car just letting it sink in.

What you see now looks exciting, polished, “successful.” What you didn’t see were the moments I was SURE it was over.

The funding gaps, the sourcing setbacks, the manufacturing delays, the doors that closed. The nights I questioned everything, and shed a few tears.

Every single time we hit a wall, something happened that I can only describe as miracles.

The right person called.
The right introduction, or re-introduction, was made.
The right door opened - almost always at the very last second.

This whole thing started as an idea my Dad and I breathed life into. A gut feeling, literally, and a solution I was desperately searching for after cancer.

And the best part? Although she’s not here to see it flourish, my mom was the catalyst behind it all. Through Opu, she’s still nursing people back to better health. I love that we get to carry forward her legacy as a nurse. 👩‍⚕️

Right now, four different factories are working on different components of Opu Probiotics, all in the Southeast.

I walked the floors today & saw teams working on something that once only existed in my head. 🤯

Miracle after miracle brought us here. And dear friends absolutely blew our minds, they are the only reason we’ve made it to today. They invested in our dream, risk and all.

Just when I thought the journey after Shark Tank couldn’t get crazier, it just got better. One day I’ll share it all in a much longer form, because I’m certain it will inspire someone who is in the same place!

If you’ve supported Opu in any way thank you, you’re a part of our story.

Over the next few months I’ll be sharing in real time how the largest retailer in the world helped this small business rise!

Exactly 4 months ago, we received a coveted Walmart Open Call Golden Ticket! 🎉

I can’t even begin to summarize what’s happened since, but it’s been nothing short of miracle after miracle and BIG mountains moved for our small business.

Over the last four months, I’ve had my head down, working long hours to be ready for this launch. I never could’ve anticipated a drunk driver totaling my car and a 3½-lb tumor needing to be removed from my body during this process, but that’s kind of the vibe of my life. I joke 🥴 that I feel like I’m in that movie Final Destination.

The Walmart team has been unbelievably kind and patient with us during onboarding. We’re currently in production in 3, about to be 4, factories to prepare for our launch next month. 🤯

My 16-year-old self could never have imagined the obstacles I’d take on and overcome. I’m proud of myself for not giving up when I wanted to throw in the towel MANY times over the last year.

The PEOPLE who have helped make this happen are some of the best human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and loving. I can’t wait to share more about them, while honoring those who prefer to stay private.

I feel overwhelming gratitude today as I look at this photo from four months ago. And I look forward to standing on that same stage next year, alongside my hero, telling everyone our success story - because I truly believe we will. 💚

We got a pretty incredible Christmas gift this year: a 2-SKU rollout in 311 Walmart stores thanks to the Open Call Golden Ticket we secured earlier this year. 🎉

To put that in perspective, this single purchase order represents more boxes of Opu than we’ve sold all year combined. 🤯 That growth has been entirely organic - no paid ads, no big marketing spend.

We are preparing on every front to make sure we knock it out of the park when we launch in the fourth week of March. If my first company taught me anything, it’s this: getting into stores is one thing - earning your spot and moving product off the shelf is what matters!

May 2026 be much brighter than 2025 for those of you who have had a difficult year. 🙏

Some Mondays just suck as a small business owner. But today? Today was filled with gratitude. Gratitude for how far we’ve come, and hope for how far we still plan to go. 💚

Filling orders with my son today I felt gratitude for the journey, for the people using our product, and for the fact that I get to build this alongside the people I love most.

Building a business is full of highs and lows. Yes, my kids have been there to see those rare, exciting days (receiving Walmart’s Golden Ticket 🎫!) where anything feels possible. But they’re also with me on the hard days. The discouraging days. The “I don’t know how we’ll get through this” days. I’ve had my fair share of those both in life and business.

What pleasantly surprises me most is how compassionate they are. They see the sacrifices and the late nights. They notice the stress, even when I try to hide it. And instead of resenting it, they value what we’re building. And hearing our two older kids articulate that is such a joy.

🎉 1,000,000 SERVINGS SOLD! 🎉 I can’t even put into words how big this moment feels. 💚

We built Opu one box at a time. One trusted friend sharing with another…one mom recommending us to her sister…one customer texting someone they care about and saying, “You HAVE to try this.”

No giant marketing budgets. No massive team. Just heart, grit, and YOU - our loyal customers who believed in a tiny Georgia-born brand doing things differently.

Thank you for helping us hit 1 MILLION SERVINGS. Thank you for cheering us on. Thank you for making gut health fun, accessible, and joyful.

To celebrate this HUGE milestone, I want to give back to this amazing community:

The last two months have been a whirlwind, and now the REAL work starts! 🫠

Thank you for the opportunity to pitch yesterday Sprouts Farmers Market! I can’t wait to learn more about the innovation program. A road trip to demo would be pretty EPIC!

Behind every family-owned small business, there are sacrifices being made. Becca sacrificed the porch she had waited so long to build.

So happy we could give this back to her. 🥹

Momentum is building fast for our small Georgia-born brand! (Ok, maybe not “fast”, we are 3 years in, but fast lately as we’ve started pursuing retail!)

First, the excitement of securing Walmart, and now we just got the exclusive opportunity to pitch at Sprouts Farmers Market Headquarters (yes, THE Sprouts!) in just a few weeks 😭🙌

This is HUGE for our small business - and it’s all thanks to YOU. Every 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review, every comment, every share, every order. You believed in us when we were just getting started. 💚

Drop a 💚 if you’ve been here since the early days, or a 🩷 if you just joined the Opu fam!

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. 🥹

Just a few weeks ago, I was this👌close to giving up - or at least it felt that way. The pressure of running every single aspect of my business while being a mom of four was becoming overwhelming and was wrecking my mental health. 

You’ve all seen the huge victory we celebrated last week. Well, it just happened AGAIN. Another incredible major retail opportunity might be opening up in less than two weeks!!!

Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come right after you think you’ve hit your limit. 💚

Can’t wait to share more on Monday morning when we know more!
