As we enter this festive season of Thanksgiving and merriment, I am truly honored to bear the title of a small business owner. Thank you for letting me share part of my life and expertise with you, thank you for entrusting me with part of your life and stories. It is an honor. Learn now how to shop on small businesses with this simple gift guide!

Most of what I share benefits you for free, but some of the links I share, I make a SMALL commission which helps support my family and allows me to keep sharing free content with you. While it doesn’t change anything for you, it makes me do a happy dance. For me, it’s not just about the money (although diapers and food are expensive ), it’s about IMPACT. Whether it’s regaining your energy, feeling confident in your skin or balancing your hormones, this impact matters. 

On this Small Business Saturday, thank you for supporting Flourish, my family, and the small team of women around the country who help make everything you see possible!

One of the greatest, and most unexpected blessings, on this entrepreneurship journey has been connecting with other like-minded women run small businesses.

Supporting these small businesses this season and beyond supports both the women behind the brand but also artisans and makers all over the world.
