Hey there! I’m Denise Irving, the voice behind Beyond the Hustle.
After years in the corporate world—working in marketing across the nonprofit, human resources, and speaking/events industries—I made the leap into entrepreneurship. I loved my corporate roles, but after navigating mergers, acquisitions, and the unpredictability of the pandemic, I realized I no longer wanted my future in someone else’s hands.
As an entrepreneur, new podcaster, and passionate wellness advocate, I believe life is about more than just grinding. It’s about balance, connection, and finding joy in the everyday moments.
These days, I’ve combined my love of wellness, movement, and mindset with tools that help me stay energized, focused, and grounded—including my partnership with Make Wellness, a brand I trust and use daily to support my lifestyle from the inside out.
I’m also a wife, mom to three amazing adult kids, and proud dog mom to two spoiled pups, Stella and Stanley. You’ll often find me hiking a trail, hitting the gym, or exploring new ways to live with greater intention, strength, and vitality.
My goal? To create a space where we can all grow, learn, and thrive—beyond the hustle.
