In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Juliet Davey, also known as Mama Cacao, to discuss how she has displayed innovation in her self-made business in the face of challenges presented by COVID.  And how she’s remained resilient and prosperous despite setbacks.  

We met Juliet when she partnered with us at our last retreat in Costa Rica to host a Cacao pairing dinner and a Cacao Heart Opening circle, which we’ll share more about in the episode! Juliet Davey, better known by her brand-name of Mamá Cacao - is a tree-to-bar chocolate-maker, cacao-farmer & educator, based in Costa Rica.  

She guides farm tours, runs workshops and curates chocolate-themed events. Her focus for her business is mission-driven. She is committed to the empowerment of women, regeneration of ecosystems and the preservation of cacao tradition and its culture. This she feels can be done through collaborations, skill-sharing, education and innovative-thinking. 

We just adore Juliet and the epic life and business she has built for herself! 

Some of the topics we cover in this episode include: 

• What is cacao & the many uses and benefits of this beautiful plant-medicine; 
• The fears and limiting beliefs Juliet had to overcome when she moved to Costa Rica from the UK and started her own chocolate making business; 
• How to be creative and innovative as a leader –– even when it’s just you in your business; 
• How to take initiative as a leader by finding the gap and filling it; 
• 3 valuable tips if you’re just getting started building your self-made business and you’re feeling frozen in self-doubt. 

We also talk about the magical retreat experience we’ve co-created in Costa Rica and how you can be a part of it this coming May 2021! Details are available at sistersthatstray.com.
