I hosted educational workshops on topics like: baby-led weaning, cloth diapering, making your own baby food, natural and chemical-free products, international travel with babies as well as events to honor each of us as mothers such as mini spa days and community circles.About: Thriving Mamas is a community organization created to connect a tribe of women who inspires, challenges, learns and grows from each other. A community who inherently knows the importance of a woman nourishing her body, mind and soul and supports her to give back to herself so she can thrive in her family, community and world...without shame, without sacrificing her family or her own happiness along the way.When a mother fully lives in the joy of her life she not only changes her own happiness quotient, she changes the way her children view reality of how life needs to be - no matter how young or old her kids are. We change the world for our ourselves AND our children.It is the ultimate: Be the Change You Wish to See.I a mom, a friend, a connector, a truth seeker, a passionate world traveler and a lover of laughter. I am still learning the fine art of flow, nourishing myself first and bringing laughter and joy to each day. I am finally beginning to fully embrace (instead of rushing through) this journey called life. Being a mother has brought me joy (and challenge) like nothing else I have ever experienced. The biggest challenge has been learning to postpone (or even *gasp* let go of) many daily “should and have to” items and give myself time for me. Yes, “mommy guilt” comes up and have to put it in its place...a lot.

Starting a brick and mortar retail business from scratch was one of the most gratifying goals I accomplished. Prior to opening to the public there was a solid year of product research and business research. There was also the process of obtaining a business loan – profit/loss predictions, cost of goods/materials/fixtures/employees and marketing. From the start, I LOVED my customers and all of the people that helped make my business special. I had a small team of employees and started to learn the art of business/life balance.• My team and I consulted customers through product selection and custom essential oil blend creation.• All marketing and advertising materials were designed in-house.• I evaluated cost & price proposals from distributors for multiple products, including raw materials as well as ready to sell artisan products.• Hand-crafted natural & organic bath and body products were made on-site.• I taught in-person and online classes on essential oils, bringing in subject matter experts when necessary. One of the things typically not discussed is the heartbreak, feeling of failure and the MANY lessons learned (over many years) when I chose to close the doors of this first business adventure.
