Foundress Fridays: Meet Michele Tranberg, Co-Owner of Golden Glow Tanning Co & Founder of VidaBomb

At Golden Glow, the team helps women boost their confidence in just 20 minutes – because let’s be honest – a good spray tan can change your entire mood! Between appointments, Tranberg is building VidaBomb, a daily vitamin + clean energy supplement designed for busy women who are tired of drowning in powders, pills, and supplement trends.

“We’re bringing it back to basics with foundational vitamins, clean energy, and a simple routine you’ll actually stick to. My favorite part of both businesses? Helping women feel a little more confident, energized, and like the best version of themselves,” Tranberg said.

AZF: What is your “life motto”?

Consistency over perfection. You don’t have to have it all figured out, you just have to keep showing up. For your goals, your business, your family, and yourself. The little things done consistently create the biggest results, and that’s something I’ve seen play out in every area of my life.

AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path for you?

I’ve always been the girl calling friends and family saying, “Okay, hear me out…” before launching into my newest business idea. I’ve never been short on ideas – usually they’re inspired by a problem I want solved or a gap I think needs filling.

I don’t know that I always knew I’d become an entrepreneur, but I’ve definitely always had an entrepreneurial brain. I’m constantly looking for ways to make things better, easier, or more enjoyable. The fact that a few of those wild ideas have turned into real businesses is something I’m incredibly proud of and grateful for.

AZF: How do you feel best supported?

I feel most supported when the people around me believe in me, check in on my progress, and genuinely care about this wild ride we call entrepreneurship. Building a business is incredibly vulnerable. You’re constantly putting yourself out there, taking risks, and hoping your ideas resonate.

I’m so grateful for a husband who works hard to support our family while I chase my latest idea, and for friends and family who are always willing to share, repost, encourage, and cheer me on. Having people in your corner who believe in you before the rest of the world does is one of the greatest gifts an entrepreneur can have.

AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?

The dream of what these businesses could become, the impact they could have, and the example I’m setting for my kids. I love that my boys get to watch me take risks, work hard, solve problems, and build something from nothing. When things get tough, I remind myself that this idea deserves more than how I feel in the moment. It deserves my best effort. At the end of the day, helping women feel confident, supported, and empowered will always be worth showing up for.

AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday.

My perfect Saturday morning starts with a workout and a little quiet time to myself. Then it’s off to the sports fields to cheer on my boys. There’s nowhere I’d rather be than watching them do what they love. And if you catch me on the sidelines, chances are I’m sneaking in a little social media work for VidaBomb or Golden Glow. Always working!

AZF: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?

Be the bright-eyed beginner. Ask the questions. Have the conversations. Do the research. Soak it all in. Never be embarrassed to learn something new. Growth lives on the other side of curiosity, and every great business starts with someone willing to figure it out as they go.

AZF: What excites you most about being an entrepreneur?

What excites me most? The fact that a random idea can turn into a real business. I love dreaming big, creating something from nothing, and knowing that every customer, every post, every win, and every lesson came from a vision I decided to pursue. There’s something incredibly empowering about betting on yourself and then watching it all start to come to life.
