Ali Elliott founded The Farmer Foodie LLC, as her food blog in January 2020 to share her lifelong passion for recipe creation and sustainable organic food. She is a plant-forward recipe and product developer. Many of her recipes are inspired by her four year career as an Organic Farm Education Manager in Millerton, NY. Ali has published over 160 original sustainable recipes.

​Ali is a passionate solo social entrepreneur. Ali earned her MBA in Social Impact and an MA in Sustainable International Development from The Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University.

Ali launched her first product, Everything Cheeze, on May 17, 2022 through eateverythingcheeze.com! Everything Cheeze is a raw vegan, gluten free, and soy free Cashew Parmesan Alternative. It is inherently sustainable with its plant-based organic ingredients and long shelf-life. It is made with fairtrade organic cashews. Everything Cheeze is also a multi-use product that can be hydrated with boiling water and blended into a Queso, Ricotta, or Mac & Cheeze sauce in 30 seconds.

I'm joined by my friend and sponsor of Bold Like Her, Andria Dolce on this episode along with her girlfriend Ashley Davis. They've both been on the podcast (seperately) before, but this time they are together and talking about pride, pups, and a little mortgage talk from Andria. We also get into the beautiful thing they've been doing over the past year or so, fostering children. They share the process they went through to become foster parents, their experience and the need for more people to do the same.

The title of this episode comes from my guest, Alexandra Goresh. She's my friend, a hair stylist at Stilisti on Newbury St in The Back Bay of Boston and also has her own podcast (The Alexandra Show). She invited me to do a co-podcast where we talk to eachother for both of our shows during the month of June to talk about topics around Pride. Alexandra is super open, gay friendly and a wonderful ally to so many in the LGBTQ+ community. Our conversation focuses on having open conversations, myths about how someone looks and how people are attracted to others and I even share my "coming out" story. Thank you Alexandra for always being a wonderful friend and a safe space for so many!

Jen's literal goal is to help great people make a "shit ton" of money, just ask her!!

Seeking to find someone to help her with her financial goals and not being able to find anyone outside of the typical planner or advisor, Jen decided she'd do it herself. And now she helps others by giving them the support and encouragement to do what most aren't willing to do when it comes to their money!

We discuss just how easy it is once you get started and how literrally anyone can become a millionaire. It's never to early or late to get started.

We also chat about a 7 step on line course Jen has created called "Know your money" and how you can sign up for it!

As part of their journey in making their client's homes their favorite place on earth, the Kadilak's have built their business on the power of social media. Five years ago they were given a very strong piece of advice: MAKE VIDEOS! So they tried it and it quickly grew their business, with a 60% increase in revenue after the first year! Video works! Through their social channels they have been able to connect directly with potential clients, grow their social media audience, and develop a relationship before ever getting that first phone call.

Mona shares that she's got more titles than anyone including nutritionist, cookbook author, publisher, wellness entrepreneur and creative food strategist. But they all have one common goal….to satisfy her undying passion to make the world a healthier place. You can usually find her in her office creating, inventing or writing away, or in the kitchen testing out new recipes while having an 80s dance party or singing along to her favorite Broadway show tunes with a wooden spoon as a mike.

On this episode she shares her background and info on her latest cookbook, Satisfry, all about cooking with the Air Fryer!

The two ladies on this episode met and became fast friends. Amanda Portillo & Lauren Maloney are both business women/entrepreneurs and were looking to fill what they found to be a whole for Boston women professionals to socialize and network. They wanted a place that was inclusive, a place to have fun and network with like minded women especially over the past couple years of the pandemic when we all needed it so badly. So they created it! They are now hosting monthly events and growing along the way.

On Episode 105 I chat with Julie about how she went from the corporate world to social media influencer by sharing her love for DIY Home Projects.

She born in Brazil and moved to the US (Boston Area) at the age of 5!

In 2020 she was feeling unfilled as a digital marketer, so she started to share her love of home decor and design, on social media. Just six months later, she was able to finally pursue her dreams as an interior stylist and content creator.

She gives us a little insight on the partnership aspect of social media and also shares some home hacks!

Like to many guests on this podcast, Alexandra found that "corporate America" was not for her. She had a passion for writing from childhood when her mom would read to her.

A bout with shingles at the young age of 29 lead Alexandra to realize the stress her corporate job was causing and found herself jumping into real estate as an independent contractor while continuing to write a novel that had been in her mind for years.

She shares her path to publishing her own book and then re-working the title/coverart to re-publish. She's now working on her second novel and has really focused on the practice of sitting down at the same time each day to write at least 2000 words!
