Episode 335: This week, Lori is back and fresh off one of the most meaningful experiences of her life: meeting her new grandson.
As the conversation unfolds, what starts with sweet stories of new life and family quickly turns into something deeper. Together, Lori and Vonda reflect on empathy, growth, and the people who shape who we become, often without us realizing it in the moment.
They revisit last week’s conversation about mentors and life lessons, sharing personal stories of the individuals who challenged, encouraged, and quietly influenced their paths. From college professors to unexpected opportunities, it’s a reminder that the experiences we have, and the people we encounter, often lead us exactly where we’re meant to go.
The conversation also weaves into real-life business moments, from preparing for a major floral photo shoot to navigating creativity, trends, and the balance between personal taste and what truly serves your customers.
It’s heartfelt, honest, and full of those “aha” moments that make you pause and think about your own journey.
Because sometimes, the things that shape us the most… don’t make sense until we look back.
