Hi friends! Welcome back to Wilder Possibilities Podcast! I’m beyond excited to share today’s heartfelt episode featuring my dear friend, Jelena Trifunovic, founder of Viola Floral—a boutique floral studio known for its stunning arrangements, thoughtful gifts, and incredible workshops. Jelena’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and finding beauty in life’s hardest moments.  

In this conversation, Jelena opens up about her family’s immigration story from Serbia, her background in education, and how an unplanned leap of faith during a season of deep grief led to the creation of Viola Floral. We dive into how her mother's legacy of joy, celebration, and living life in full bloom continues to inspire her business. Plus, Jelena shares the magic of flowers—not just for their beauty, but for their powerful impact on mental wellness and connection.
