The Fresh Expert

For a while there, I was the “Missing In Action” Leader & CEO.

I’ve always shared the wins, the tips, and the “The Fresh Expert” energy you expect on my forward channels - But behind the scenes? I was running on a hamster wheel that was missing a few spokes. 🐹

The truth is, I wasn’t there for my team because I wasn’t there for myself. Life started pivoting in ways I didn’t see coming, and I had to stop and figure out who I was outside of the brand, the business, and the expectations.

Rebuilding isn’t just about new systems or better spreadsheets. Sometimes, rebuilding means:
• Admitting you’ve been a “squirrel” (scattered and hiding).
• Taking a seat at the table to eat a giant slice of humble crow.
• Acknowledging that you can’t pour from a cup that you’ve accidentally dropped and shattered.

To my team and my community: Thank you for the grace this last year while I put the pieces back together.
