In this episode of Women & the Businesses They Own, I’m joined by Courtney Lorenz, founder of Cultured Kombucha — a wellness brand she began building more than a decade ago.
At just 34 years old, Courtney is already 10 years into entrepreneurship, redefining what wellness drinks can be by blending flavor, function, and intention. What started as a passion for gut health and clean ingredients has grown into a brand that helps people eat well, live well, and truly enjoy what they’re consuming.
In our conversation, Courtney shares:
What she’s learned from 10 years in business by age 34
The realities of growing a product-based business in a competitive market
How kombucha can be both delicious and functional
The balance between wellness, entrepreneurship, and staying rooted in purpose
This episode is thoughtful, refreshing, and encouraging — especially for women building something meaningful while navigating growth, patience, and long-term vision.
🎧 Listen in, reflect, and share with someone who’s passionate about wellness and entrepreneurship.
She came. She spoke. She inspired.
