I\u2019m super focused on taking care of my body as I age. Learning to grow a manufacturing business, there\u2019s always a \u2018Plan B\u2019 in place and we use it almost daily.\u00a0At the end of the day, I\u2019m filled with gratitude for the opportunity of another phenomenal day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I was born\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to be an advocate for improvement. Putting myself first, the community second and the world third. We can\u2019t help anyone until we help ourselves and have an obligation to our community and our world to be our best selves. Happy, helpful and hungry for more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the weather nine months out of the year, the diversity of cultures, the \u201cbig\u201d small-town feel, and the farmers market scene.\u00a0 I\u2019ve lived in many cities and cannot think of any other place I would rather be. I\u2019ve become a true desert being and love the beauty the desert has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019m listening to\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pandora\/Old Country\/Randy Travis, my grandmother\u2019s favorite. That\u2019s my cue she\u2019s close. I keep different genres for different parts of my day or mood and vary from classic country to modern jazz to folk bluegrass.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My family\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>keeps me crazy in a great way! Two boys in college and my parents moved over from Georgia two years ago. It\u2019s great to have us all in one state after living on opposite ends of the U.S. and sometimes the world. We are a family of artists on all levels.\u00a0 My Mom and I have been foodies forever and my Dad took up pottery at the age of 80. He\u2019s created some beautiful hand-thrown bowls I can\u2019t wait to feature in my retail space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muddy, my great-great-grandmother from the Creek Indian Nation. I\u2019m fascinated with different cultures and the Native American culture is not one I\u2019m familiar with in the ways of their food and healing modalities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One thing I cannot live without\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a healer.\u00a0I loved working with the elderly, disabled and animals.\u00a0 At 14, I volunteered at a nursing home and the special needs school.\u00a0 Living on a farm, we always had a variety of animals to care for and I found myself catering to their health<strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>challenges.\u00a0I love turning \u201cI CAN\u2019T\u201d into \u201cI DID IT!\u201d\u00a0I have a pattern of taking a product no one has heard of and bringing it to the market.\u00a0Garden Goddess Ferments is my third business and the third time I\u2019ve started something somewhat new to the market; 333 is my favorite number so I know we are on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The one person who motivates me is\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>my mom, she always inspires me to do better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pasteurization. As great of discovery as it was, we went a little overboard on the kill ALL the bacteria in our foods and could use a better balance of how we feed our humans.\u00a0 I believe if we got back to more natural whole diets, we could change our health for the better.\u00a0 Finding a balance of ancient and modern ways is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The perfect day\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>is spent in the kitchen.\u00a0Whether at home or our Garden Goddess space, I love both places.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My first job was\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>as a cashier at the local Tastee Freeze at the age of 13.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My favorite escape\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>is to whisk away to a fun destination and learn.
