Some people often take business advice from family due to trust, shared values, and relevant experience. This holds true for sisters Julia Barretto and Dani Barretto.
Speaking with Manila Standard Life, Julia—recently launched as the face of Wellness Whispers, the brand founded by Dani—said they believe family members have their best interests at heart. Shared values and goals create a strong foundation for guidance, and family also provides emotional support during challenges.
As an entrepreneur herself, Julia is taking inspiration from her sister Dani, the driving force behind the wellness brand that has been gaining recognition for its life-changing products and business opportunities.
As the brand’s ambassador, Julia admires Dani’s success in managing her business ventures and aims to follow in her footsteps.
“We always root for each other, so just seeing her succeed in her career and life is something we celebrate as a family,” Julia said with a smile.
Dani recently unveiled new products under Wellness Whispers to further expand the brand’s reach.
Julia shared how Dani’s determination motivates her: “I learned a lot from her. It’s really motivating given that there are so many challenges. Not every day is going to be perfect. She’s shown that now isn’t the time to give up because everything is doable. She’s just been an inspiration for all of us.”
Dani revealed plans for a collaboration with Julia: “I always wanted to do something that she’s also very into. We’ve been brewing something—a collab we hope to launch this year.”
Dani kicked off 2025 with the Wellness Whispers World event at Whitespace Manila on Jan. 9. The celebrity mom, podcast host, and entrepreneur introduced a line of flavorful, ready-to-drink supplements designed to support health goals.
The event also marked Julia’s official role as the brand ambassador. Guests, including Bea Fabregas, Nica Fabregas, Chelsea Robato, Jaz Reyes, Denisse Sy, Brigiding, and Lance De Ocampo.
The Barretto family—Marjorie, Leon, Claudia, and Julia—joined the celebration, along with Gerald Anderson and media friends. The event featured educational talks and a Q&A session, with Dr. Ruchie O. Ingles-Gagarin discussing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and debunking health myths. Guests enjoyed interactive booths and activities, blending wellness exploration with content creation.
