Welcome to our “Get to Know” series! Each Tuesday (we started in August 2020), we introduce you to a creator in the food and wellness space that we think you NEED to know. The creators we feature are of various backgrounds. Whether they’re an online content creator, coach, or owner of a product-based brand, they each have their own niche in the wellness world and contribute to the space, as a whole, in an incredibly meaningful way.
