Investing in Community + Health thru Local Food w— Fresh Harvest
“When I think about local food, it’s an investment in our bodies in the long term. Everyone should have access to that.”
Eat local! But why?? In this episode, we feature an Atlanta-based company that is changing the way farmers do business and helping get local food into the hands of more people. This conversation offers food for thought around creating alignment in your work, running a mission-driven, profitable business and investing in your community (+ your health) through food.

A few months ago I had a vision — that too many of us are living lives we regret, and it leaves us with endless longing and confusion.
When I asked for the antidote, the response was profound — Live a beautiful life. That’s all we can do. Live a beautiful life.
In this episode, I share my vision and offer reflections on why beauty is everything. Tune in for support and inspiration to release regret and align your life with truth + beauty.
