I truly believe the journey you're on is meant just for you, but you can choose to take what you’ve learned and use it to help others…just as my next guest has done. Kristel de Groot, co-founder, Your Super, is here to share her wisdom and beautiful spirit with us on this episode. 
Bio: 
Kristel is half of the powerhouse team behind Your Super, one of the biggest superfood brands in the U.S. and Europe. In just over 8 years, Your Super transformed from zero to hero, with a whopping $200 million in revenue and an exit in October 2022.
Your Super was launched when Kristel’s partner, Michael, was diagnosed with cancer at age 24. While Michael was going through chemo, Kristel started experimenting with the possibilities of using food as medicine. Together with her Orthomolecular Nutritionist Mom and her Aunt she developed organic superfood and plant protein mixes to help boost Michael's immunity and overall health.
From humble beginnings in Amsterdam, the company quickly spread across six continents and 60+ countries. With headquarters in the U.S., Your Super has helped millions of people to change their lifestyle and feel better with the power of plants.
This female founder is a force to be reckoned with. She is the mastermind behind Your Super formulas, packaging and branding. She’s the brilliant Chief Marketing Officer who is also basically a walking encyclopedia of wellness. She is a nutrition coach with certifications in plant-based nutrition from eCornell University and IIN.
She has been named among the 30 Under 30 by both Forbes and Inc Magazine, and has been featured in a dazzling array of media, from Forbes to Cheddar TV, InStyle, Well + Good, The Doctors, and Good Day L.A.
As a woman, mom and female founder she is advocating that true diversity is about celebrating the differences between women and men in the workplace. She introduced the moon day policy where women get 1 day per month when they have a period to do what they can - from cancelling their meetings to taking the day off.
Kristel and Michael recently published their newest book Your Super Life and you can keep up with them on the top-ranking Your Super Life Podcast, their site kristelandmichael.com, and on social @kristelandmichael.
But as you’ll soon see, Kristel is down-to-earth, approachable, and passionate about making the world a healthier place with the power of plants.

Bio: 
I am a Floridian, born and raised in Satellite Beach near Cape Canaveral. I grew up a competitive cheerleader and figure skater with a love of science and the outdoors. My childhood experiences taught me the values of precision, poise, humility and respect. Becoming a surgeon was a natural choice as these values are the very backbone of training and practice. I pursued my passion and received my Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Florida. While in college, I had the chance to intern in plastic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. It was then I realized I must become a plastic surgeon. I was enthralled by the intricacies and details of their surgeries and enamored by the dissection and surgical outcomes. Like an artist, the human body became the canvas, and the scalpel became a brush. Having my goal in mind, I remained true to my Florida roots and continued my medical education at Florida State University where I graduated and started the long journey through surgical training.
I spent five incredible years in general surgery residency with some of the nation’s best surgeons at Advent Health in Orlando, Florida. From there, it was time for a change of seasons as I matched in a plastic surgery fellowship at Summa Health in Akron, Ohio. I have completed all surgical training, and I am currently board-certified in general surgery and board-certified in plastic surgery. I look forward to sharing my talent and passion with you all as your newest plastic surgeon in Orlando, Florida!
In This Episode We Discuss:
Stephenie felt her calling to be a surgeon from an early age
Dr Poris is a petite powerhouse with a prominent presence
Her love of plastics and the joy with helping patients
What to look for in a plastic surgeon
Training matters, look for Doctors with expertise training
A “good deal” is not worth the ultimate price with someone who lacks experience

It’s wonderful seeing women doing these things for themselves 
What is a “Mommy Makeover”?
The Moxie Laser is a true metamorphosis, also it’s the treatment for melasma

Amy Lacey is passionate, driven, faith-filled and laser focused!  What once was her challenge has become her triumph growing not one but two health focused brands.  You may have heard of Cali’flour Foods, that started at Amy’s kitchen table, growing steadily at farmers markets, and then mainstream retail in just about every major grocery chain.  She sold Cali’flour in 2019, making her part of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal.  She is now in a new chapter of life, creating a holistic health focused product line around Superfood, Soursop….and she is just getting started.  In this episode we dive deep into where it all started and where she is now.  
Bio:
 Amy Lacey is a serial entrepreneur, innovator, best-selling author, keynote speaker and business mentor. In 2016, after being diagnosed with Lupus, Amy launched Cali’flour Foods and introduced the first cauliflower pizza crust to the market when only a head of cauliflower could be found in grocery stores. The brand took the food industry by storm, going from farmers markets to grocery stores across America, and spearheading what would become a billion dollar industry category. Cali’flour was the number 1 pizza crust sold on Amazon for 16 months straight from 2018-2019. The product won several awards including KeHE Best New Product in 2018 and was featured in Food and Beverage Magazine, OK! Magazine, GQ, Good Housekeeping, as well as one of “Whoopi’s Favorite Things” on The View. The products were also seen at the ESPY, Teen Choice, the Emmys, NY Food Show, as well as many other
traditional food shows. Amy sold the majority of Cali’Flour in late 2019 and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal. Amy is now trailblazing the path towards a brand new innovative health and wellness product with her new company, Beyond Medicine, founded in 2023. This new company is on a mission to highlight one of the world’s greatest superfoods that most people don’t even know exists yet. She is introducing a new category of superfood to the market and paving the way for a new era of self-care and wellbeing that prioritizes the body’s natural ability to be and stay healthy while enhancing the immune system’s armor against disease and illness. Up next alongside Beyond Medicine, Amy continues to collect her vast knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship into courses and programmes that make e-commerce easy for entrepreneurs. Her philanthropic mission includes supporting women founders, and she continues to be incredibly passionate about being involved in non-profit organizations that support children with cancer and
fighting against the sex trade. When she’s not innovating the next industry shaking product, you’ll find Amy at her home in Melbourne, Florida with her husband, her 3 children and their new puppy.

Bringing awareness and knowledge to parents for healthy growth
Social media is here to stay, Pandora’s box has been open so we need to learn how to manage it
When is a good time to give your kids access to social media? When you’re ready for them to watch porn.
It’s ok to give your child a phone that is just a phone, with no internet
If your kid is on a platform, you should be on it first to understand it so you can guide them
Sextortion is very real, so the conversations need to be real, creating safe space not shame or guilt
Giving your child a phone is a shared responsibility, it is your property that you have every right to look through and see who has access to your child through that device
We’re raising adults we need to bring honest conversations to establish strong foundations
Be mindful of your own phone usage, your kids are watching
They’ve expanded to online classes for a greater reach to help educate and give skills to more teens and parents

Lindsey Schwartz is an author, investor, master community builder, and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students.
