Palmer has written two books that run in parallel &#8211; a memoir, <em>La Limone: Recipes and Stories From a Life Well Zested<\/em>, which traces her life through food, family, love, loss, and reinvention, and a companion cookbook, <em>La Limone Kitchen Cookbook<\/em>, packed with over 60 lemon-forward recipes inspired by the memoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI host themed dinner parties, I have lemon trees in my backyard, and everything I do is about gathering people around a table and living fully,\u201d Palmer said. \u201cThe Classic Group is a variety of businesses that my husband and I have built together that are now mainly overseen by my husband. Wejo Investments are businesses we invest in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: What is your \u201clife motto\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A life well zested. It&#8217;s the tagline for La Limone, but it&#8217;s also genuinely how I try to live. Squeeze everything out of every experience, even the bitter ones.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>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?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t have a choice in the beginning. I started working at ten years old because I had to. But somewhere along the way, I realized I didn&#8217;t just want to work hard, I wanted to build things. I left school in grade 10, and I went on to build and operate companies with my husband. There were setbacks along the way, big ones, but every single time I found a way back. Writing La Limone was another version of that &#8211; starting something new on my own terms, later in life, and loving every minute of it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: How do you feel best supported?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By people who believe in the vision before it&#8217;s fully formed. My family, my friends, and the communities I&#8217;ve found here in Arizona have all played a part in bringing La Limone to life. I also think women supporting other women in business is genuinely powerful, which is why an opportunity like this one means so much.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: What motivates you to keep going amidst the challenges that come with being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, the alternative. I&#8217;ve never been someone who could sit still. I&#8217;ve faced challenges,\u00a0divorce, starting over from scratch more than once &#8211; and each time, building something new was what kept me going. La Limone is the most personal thing I&#8217;ve ever created, and that makes it the most motivating too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A gratitude breathing exercise, then a few coffee chats via FaceTime with friends and family that I don\u2019t get to see often enough. Then, a sporting event for one of my granddaughters. After that, cooking something that fills the house with good smells. Or maybe a long lunch with people I love. That&#8217;s the whole La Limone philosophy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: What\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel the fear and do it anyway! And don&#8217;t wait until you feel ready, because that feeling never really comes. I published my first book in my 60s. The timing will never be perfect. Start anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AZF: What excites you most about being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The freedom to create something from nothing. I&#8217;ve done it in business for decades, and doing it again with La Limone at this stage of my life has reminded me why I love it. There&#8217;s nothing quite like building something that is entirely yours, that reflects who you are and what you believe in.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Learn more about La Limone by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lalimone.com\/index.html\">lalimone.com<\/a> or following along on Instagram @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lalimone_kitchen\/\">lalimone_kitchen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"about-the-foundress\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>About the Foundress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Foundress is a creative community of female entrepreneurs established by Coley Arnold.
