In this heartfelt episode, Megan sits down with Valerie Gerrits, founder of Cedar Flats Flower Farm + Olympia Speech & Language, to talk about taking bold leaps in business and life. From private speech therapy practice to launching Olympia’s first u-pick flower farm—and now hiring an employee and moving into her own office space—Valerie’s story is all about trusting your timing and growing in ways that actually feel good.
This conversation explores what it really looks like to juggle entrepreneurship and motherhood, redefine success beyond hustle culture, and use your platform (online and off) to build community. If you’ve ever needed a reminder that doing things your own way is more than enough, this one’s for you.
