Strength & Grace: Off The Mat

Join Sarah for this episode as she sits down with Nora Salem for a conversation about growing up in a small town as a minority, navigating challenges as an entrepreneur & business owner, and dealing with the hardships of supporting sick fur family members all while maintaining an internal sense of wellness.

Nora is the founder and creative lead of Bud + Bloom, Canada’s first cannafloral company. Born in Egypt and raised in small-town Alberta, Nora has always been a passionate creative. Now specializing in floral and visual arts, her studies began with fashion design in 2009 and developed into studies of fine art, graphic communications, and floristry leading to the eventual opening of this studio that allows her limitless creativity to flourish.

In her spare time, Nora enjoys cuddling up by the fire with her 20lb. feline beasts (Dexter & Buddy), taking off to the mountains on impromptu adventures, re-decorating her home, and sleeping.
