Today we’re visiting with Lindsay Diminick, owner of Yellow Twist Floral Design in Portland, Maine and cancer survivor/emergency plan educator to discuss:

• her roundabout academic and career journey which circled back to the love of floral design she'd had since she was a teen
• the gift of moving and getting to restart a business and what she did with that opportunity
• how she utilized her time in cancer treatment to work on her business plan for Yellow Twist's relaunch in a new city
• coming back to floral design after cancer treatment with intention and mindfulness
• how she's made space in her life to honor what she's been through
• her belief that having a contingency plan creates choices for a designer during an emergency
• how a contingency plan showcases professionalism and builds trust with clients

Important teachers Lindsay credits for her ongoing floral design education:

• Holly Chapple
• Susan McCleary
• Hitomi Gilliam
• Françoise Weeks
• Gregor Lersch
• Michelle Edgemont
