Tell us about yourself, who you are, and what you do?
My name is Dr. Christin Bradley. I had the privilege of growing up in the beautiful state of Alaska where my formative years were enriched with diverse experiences, courtesy of my father’s military career. This afforded me the unique privilege of living in unique places as a kid. These early exposures became a cornerstone of my identity and some of my most cherished childhood memories.
I hold a Ph.D. in Special Education Leadership, a field in which I have dedicated the past 16 years to advocating for diversity and inclusion across all facets of life. This commitment is rooted in a belief that fostering inclusivity is paramount for the betterment of our society and the empowerment of individuals with diverse abilities.
In addition to my contributions in academia, I am the visionary and creator behind Royal Alchemyst, LLC, a Fragrance and Body Oil Brand. My multifaceted journey, from my academic pursuits to the entrepreneurial realm with Royal Alchemyst, has equipped me with a holistic perspective of creativity. I find it amazing that God gave us the power to visualize an idea in our minds and manifest it in real life, which is exactly what I did with my brand.
What inspired the Royal Alchemyst brand?
The inspiration behind the Royal Alchemyst brand is deeply rooted in Dr. Bradley’s personal journey and her profound commitment to well-being. As the driving force behind Royal Alchemyst, Dr. Bradley draws upon a wealth of expertise and a passion for learning. Her journey into entrepreneurship exposed her to the challenges and pitfalls of burnout, sparking a profound transformation in her perspective. This pivotal experience shifted her focus towards the importance of self-care, peace, and personal evolution.
Driven by an unshakeable belief in the transformative power of self-love and the boundless potential of self-care, Dr. Bradley founded Royal Alchemyst. The brand is a testament to her vision of inspiring and empowering individuals on their journey towards inner peace and self-evolution. Royal Alchemyst’s body oils are meticulously crafted with the finest natural ingredients, offering an indulgent experience that nurtures both the body and the soul.
The brand invites individuals to embark on a transformative journey, embracing a path of self-discovery, transformation and inner peace.
In what ways did your Dad inspire the men’s collection for your brand?
The creation of our men’s oil collection at Royal Alchemyst carries a profound inspiration rooted in the guidance and foresight provided by my father. Initially created as a women’s body oil brand, the prospect of extending our offerings to cater to men was presented through my father’s encouragement.
Despite my initial hesitancy, my father’s persistent reminders to explore this untapped market eventually led to the creation of our men’s oil collection. His steadfast belief in the potential success of diversifying our product line proved to be a transformative decision. Since its introduction, the men’s collection has not only garnered success but has become an integral and flourishing facet of Royal Alchemyst. His influence serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing fresh opportunities and venturing into new markets.
In what other ways has your relationship with your Father impacted your life?
I consider it an immense blessing to have my father actively present in my life, as his influence has profoundly shaped the person I am today. His unwavering encouragement has consistently propelled me to strive for the best version of myself, instilling a sense of purpose and self-assurance.
One of the things I thank my father the most for is creating opportunities for me to explore, travel, and become exposed to diverse experiences which truly played a pivotal role in cultivating a well-rounded life perspective. These early adventures have been instrumental in broadening my horizons and nurturing a spirit of curiosity and adaptability.
My father is the epitome of gentleness, love, and kindness and serves as a steadfast role model in my life. His presence has not only been a source of inspiration but also a guiding force, shaping my values and influencing my approach to both personal and professional endeavors.
In both subtle and profound ways, his impact has allowed me to navigate challenges with resilience, approach opportunities with an open mind, and foster meaningful connections with others. The values instilled by his example continue to be a driving force in my pursuit of personal and professional excellence.
What three characteristics describe a man that should be wearing your product?
Our Men’s Oil Collection was created for the man who is committed to excellence, self-worth, and leaving a positive imprint on the world. This product is for the man who places a high premium on self-care, recognizing the profound connection between his well-being and the pursuit of personal excellence. He understands that by cherishing his own physical and mental health, he not only enhances his quality of life but also fortifies his capacity to contribute positively to the world around him. This dedication to self-care extends beyond the superficial, reflecting a holistic commitment to balance, mindfulness, and personal growth.
I intentionally named our Men’s Oil Collection—Royal Messiah, King of Glory, True Legend, and Man of Honor—which was inspired by a desire to celebrate and illuminate the noble qualities inherent in exceptional men. Each name represents a distinct essence, shedding light on the values of the modern man who aspires to embody excellence, impact, and self-worth. Our oils are not just scents; they are a representation of the journey towards personal excellence, leaving a legacy, and making a positive impact on the world.
If you could write a short letter to your Father, starting with “Dear Father”, what would you say to him?
Dear Father,
I have been touched by your wisdom and love in ways that words often struggle to capture. Your unwavering support has been my anchor, grounding me in moments of uncertainty. As I reflect on our journey together, it’s evident that your influence has shaped not only my character but also the lens through which I perceive the world. Your intentional efforts to instill values of kindness, integrity, and resilience have been a profound gift.
Dear father, as I express my gratitude, I want you to know that the impact of your love and wisdom extends far beyond the moments we’ve shared—it is woven into the very fabric of who I am. Thank you, for being the compass that has guided me and the wellspring of love that continues to nurture my growth.
