Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I am inspired by how nature and the bees can become our teachers, showing us how to create sustainable, and holistic change in a traditionally clinical skincare industry. Through regenerative farming and using apitherapy, I see how working within ecosystems supports real health—from soil to skin. It’s equally inspiring to see customers becoming more conscious of how their choices impact the planet, reinforcing that this shift to a regenerative lifestyle truly matters.

How do you stay motivated?

When I share my story of beekeeping, apitherapy skincare, and farming to create soil health, people genuinely listen and say how much they love everything that we do. Their awareness and appreciation reinforce that this way of living and doing business has value, to the bees, our skin, and the planet. Knowing I can help shift both an industry and consumer mindset toward something more regenerative is what keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Purchase more hives and boxes to boost pollinator numbers; expanding our bee colonies by 65%. Adding equipment & tools to make harvesting more efficient whilst protecting the bees. Invest in small-scale production and packaging equipment to increase the output of our skincare line and source custom-printed packaging to elevate our brand. Expand our educational workshops to teach people how to live more sustainably, from homesteading, making natural skincare, regenerative farming, and beekeep
