Feeding a Community, Building a Legacy: The Ruthie Bird Story

What happens when a simple idea — healthier meals for kids — turns into a national network of women-led businesses?
 In this episode, Jackie sits down with Ruthie Bird, founder of The Lunch Lady, to explore an entrepreneurial journey forged in kitchens, school hallways, and community rooms across Ontario and beyond.

Ruthie shares:
 • how one home-grown idea grew into a Canada-wide franchise
 • the financial and operational realities behind scaling a values-driven business
 • why supporting other women became core to her model
 • the resilience it takes to build something that lasts
 • the lessons she wishes more women entrepreneurs had access to earlier

This is a conversation about purpose, grit, and redefining what success can look like when profit and impact work together, a must-listen for high-earning women designing their next chapter.
