I felt an overwhelming pull to share and expand upon my Facebook post surrounding where I've been in my life (obsession, diet culture, perfectionism) and where I'm heading on my journey.  This episode wasn't really planned, but that in and of itself speaks volumes to how the work I'm doing for myself (which I share about) is working.  Life is better when we live bravely.

Ah, the myth of market directing...that there is some sort of off-season.  In this episode I debunk that myth but also talk about how YOU can continue supporting your local farms and businesses when it's not high summer and there's not a weekly market to visit.

While visiting Alaska this fall, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Misty Vanderweele, the creator and FarmHER behind All Dahlia'd Up Flower Farm in Palmer, Alaska.  We had a lovely conversation while also giving loves to her rescue dog, Tulip.

Her story is powerful and her single-handed growth into Farm to Table dinners is inspiring, all while trying to keep local connections and educate about WHY farming is so important, even when it's exhausting.

On my yearly sojourn to Alaska - and the first since I've started The Market Maven Podcast - I figured why not host my dad as a guest!

Well, you asked questions about his background, raising me, and Alaska, so we sat down for story time with Tim Mundy, my dad.

If you caught my post earlier this week about a celebratory dinner with the Black Forest Mushrooms team, you could probably guess that there was a lot of feels behind it.

Well, in this bonus content episode, I expand a bit on the ultimate dream of a market director.

In this episode, I sit down with Mara Williams - author of The Little Books of Big Business to talk about our elevated experience culminating in this week's Kid's Vendor Day at the Snohomish Farmers Market.  The idea sprouted from Nancy,  the Snohomish Chamber of Commerce manager and with the 3 of our creative minds together, we made it happen!
