This week, I'm joined by Nikki Johnson — founder of Botanicle Drinkable, kitchen alchemist, and creative force behind one of the coolest botanical beverage brands in New England. I may have dragged her on a shaky early-May garden tour (yes, it’s filmed, and no, our heads are not in frame — you're welcome), before we huddled by the firepit and talked about creativity, risk, and building something from the ground up while literally shivering in the Spring sun.

Nikki opens up about what it takes to grow a brand like Botanicle from a spark of an idea into a vibrant, community-rooted business — all while staying grounded in joy, process, and seasonal rhythm.
