The Soul Instinct

by Beatrice Dixon

From Beatrice Dixon, founder of The Honey Pot Company, comes an inspiring memoir about overcoming adversity—personally and professionally—by trusting her intuition and following what she calls her “soul instinct” to build the life of her dreams.

Beatrice Dixon, cofounder and CEO of The Honey Pot Company, shares the powerful story of how trusting her dreams—and her inner voice—led her to build a groundbreaking wellness brand.

The Honey Pot Company was born from a literal dream, in which Dixon’s late grandmother shared a recipe for an herbal remedy. When Dixon woke up, went to her kitchen, and formulated what would become the brand’s first product.

But Dixon’s story didn’t start—or stop—there. From being born a premature baby without a nose or forehead to navigating a scrappy adolescence, and pitching a vaginal wellness brand to rooms full of male investors, her journey has been anything but conventional. Through it all, she relied on her “soul instinct” to guide her.

Part memoir, part self-help, The Soul Instinct is a raw, motivating look at the power of inner wisdom from one of the most influential voices in wellness today—and one of the few Black women to raise significant venture and private equity capital. This book will inspire readers to tap into their own intuition and own their story.

Beatrice Dixon wasn't supposed to make it. With odds stacked against her before she took her first breath, Bea wasn't supposed to make it. Expected to pass before she was even a few days old, Bea's mom said, "Not my baby." Through the help of intense intervention and several surgeries, including the construction of a nose, Bea left the hospital for the big wide world.

The Soul Instinct takes the reader through Bea's life from start to current. From growing up with her family, moving around a few times, to her wild child time in her 20s, Bea details everything leading up to the creation of her company The Honey Pot.

I really enjoyed getting a behind the scenes look into how her company started, what she learned along the way and how she used her life experience to channel the success The Honey Pot has found.

Bea is an imperfect human, and within her story is layers and complexities, especially around her spirituality. She also doesn't hide anything, even when it may have negative connotations. There is an unfiltered honesty that I really resonated with and it made The Soul Instinct a compelling memoir.

Thank you to Gallery Books for the gifted copy.

Wow! What a story! What an incredible and thought provoking story. Beatrice swings for the fences in this part memoir, part self-help book. I can't say that I resonated with every part, but that is kinda the whole point, right?! It's Bea's story and journey, but I can say reading this allowed me to expand my thinking in some ways and explore my own personal journey in other ways. There were lessons that she learned that truly resonated with me and had me thinking deeply. I also love that she said vagina a whole lot!

Go into this one with eyes wide open as there are some, "oh wow ...ok" moments here, but stay for the entire ride, you won't be disappointed.

When I saw that Beatrice Dixon was writing a book, I was pretty excited to read it. As a longtime fan and consumer of The Honey Pot products, I wanted to learn more about her journey, what inspired her to start the brand, and also the importance of a product line designed with black women in mind. This book delivered that and more and I found her journey to be very inspiring.

Bea’s story is inspiring. From the moment she was conceived to today, she has made her presence known. Reading about her journey to self discovery, honing in on her power, and walking out her truth is both humbling and motivating. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Bea and she’s incredible. Now having a glimpse into her life makes me double down on that sentiment.
