The Honest Company founder and actress Jessica Alba gets personal with CNBC Make It about building her business, handling naysayers and why she wishes she started therapy sooner.

"I put a lot of pressure on myself over the years," she says."It kept me in this state, almost like a hamster wheel."

There's a video of me at Disneyland when I was like 6, saying,"I'm an independent woman. I'm never going to rely on a man." I've always had this energy to prove that women can be intelligent and equal. Women can excel in life, and should be treated with fairness. For me, financial stability is a big piece of being able to know that you're going to be OK. I didn't trust it, actually, for a very long time.It actually reminds me a lot of raising kids: When you think you've got it figured out, a whole other thing [happens], and you're like,"Whoa, OK, here we go."

Whatever people are going through in life — their life experiences and their trauma — they're projecting it onto other people. They're going to spew negativity, and that's fine, because it does something for them. But I don't need any of that. It has nothing to do with me.The advice she would give her younger self: 'I would have started therapy earlier'

What CEOs Are Saying: ‘Business Has Come Back Roaring’Here’s what leaders from UPS, Starbucks, Amazon and other companies said on recent earnings calls about inflation, supply-chain issues, the pandemic and more. Don't forget Starbucks sells water... with some bad liquid inside.... Horrible company with the worse quality ever. Don't fell in their trap. They sell bad products. Recover your critical analysis. Be aware of their business plan. So far my stocks portfolio is not reflecting any type of comeback. Who cares what the CEOs think. They are insulated from inflation. The Fed and Government stealing from the people is the real cause of inflation. Roman coin clippers. They take a dollar and give back 90 cents.
