Hailey Bieber is sharing how the aftermath of her mini stroke and heart surgery in 2022 not only made her more aware of her health, but that it also influenced her to create her popular skincare brand. In March of that year, Hailey revealed she was hospitalized for a blood clot in her brain after she noticed one side of her face was numb. She believes the situation made her “a little bit extra hyper aware” of her body.
What influenced Hailey Bieber to start her own skincare brand
In the February 18 episode of Jake Shane’s ‘Therapuss’ podcast, the 29-year-old model shared about the change. Hailey Bieber said, “I think that situation made me a little bit extra hyper aware of my body, a little bit more nervous about things and staying on top of them.” Adding that the series of events is what made her start Rhode, Hailey Bieber said “I’ve just always been really focused and fascinated on health, and it was also kind of what led me to want to do Rhode. My obsession with skincare also comes from my obsession with medicine.”

Hailey Bieber’s ‘Rhode’ to recovery
“I’m recovering really well. I feel great,” she recalled in a YouTube video in April, one month after her health scares. “The biggest thing I feel, honestly, is I just feel really relieved that we were able to figure everything out, that we were able to get it closed, that I will be able to just move on from this really scary situation and just live my life.” True to her words, Hailey started focusing on her career and launched Rhode, which went viral for their pocket blushes and lip balm phone case, two months later.
