So Can I

Today I am joined by Savannah Boyd! Savannah started her business in 2008 to create meaningful solutions to the issues she saw in the industry. Our sociocultural relationship with beauty, looks, and fashion is complicated to say the least.  We are taught that spirituality is mutually exclusive from caring about our looks and how we present ourselves to the world.  Savannah believes that fashion is an outward expression of the beauty that is within.  Sometimes people just need a little nudge to (re)discover or (re)define that beauty. Style is about stories.  We present the version of ourselves we want to portray to the world.

Savannah embraces her identity as a Christ-follower, wife,  full time mom, business owner, and chronic volunteer.  It was important to her to craft an outlet where she could express her love of fashion with her desire to serve people by helping them feel their best.

It has been incredible to see this long-held dream and vision that Savannah had for Hearts of Style become a thriving reality that resonates with so many people from all walks of life.  She believes in the power of connection to create an elevated and empowering dialogue where hearts open and vulnerability thrives. I know y'all are going to love Savannah!

Katy is a wife, Mom, flower farmer, small business owner, and entrepreneur. Shortly after having her first child in 2017, Katy had the urge to create a more flexible life for her family.  After spending most of her 20s bouncing from one job to another, she finally landed in a position that she loved, but after having her daughter, she found that the 9-to-5 career wasn’t going to work for her. She wanted to be there for the milestones (the first step, the first word) and the ordinary days (library storytime, playground play date). In the summer of 2018, Katy was flipping through a magazine while on vacation and stumbled across a spread featuring the most beautiful flower farm. She devoured the article and quickly went down the rabbit hole of research. Something in her gut told her that this was the path she was looking for.

By fall of that year, Katy had turned her backyard vegetable garden into her first row of cut flowers. Fast forward to the following summer, and she had taken over a 2 acre piece of the farm to grow flowers. Over the next few years, she built a business, quite literally in her own backyard, adding a retail flower and gift shop and e-commerce site along the way. Hidden Springs Fowers is now a six figure business that contributes not only to her family, but supports five part-time employees. These days Katy spends her time juggling small business ownership with mom life. The days are never long enough, but her cup runneth over in the best way possible. As her business continues to succeed she has found herself pulled to share her success with others. Throughout her blog, resources, and guides, Katy, hopes you will be inspired to grow a beautiful life for yourself and for your family.
