The Debra Shepherd Podcast Debra Shepherd

I am thrilled to welcome Lauren Jordan and Natalie Winter the Co-Founders of SoulPops Cacao to The Debra Shepherd Podcast.
The SoulPops story began on two different paths, and everything came together when Lauren and Natalie sparked a life-long friendship. 
Lauren’s purpose has always involved people and connection. With a background in fitness and cafes, Lauren is driven to help people feel good about themselves, whether it’s through movement, food, laughter or conversation. 
Natalie has a natural ability to create effortless beauty. From fashion design all the way through to products and packaging, Natalie believes in the power of intentional design in every detail, with customer experience being her ultimate goal. 
Over the years, Lauren and Natalie frequently enjoyed the experience of cacao. It quickly became a regular part of their daily lives, providing more than nutritional benefits. 
An integral part of their self-development and wellness journeys, Lauren and Natalie knew this wonderful plant needed to be made available and accessible for everyone to enjoy. 
Together, they have created a beautiful and very unique Australian made cacao product and, in this conversation, they share their business story. 
HIGHLIGHTS
The importance of playfulness, curiosity and zooming back in life and business. Friendship and business, how SoulPops Cacao was born and how Lauren and Natalie began working together. A vision of bringing the power of cacao to as many people as possible and making it accessible to everyone. The mind, body and spiritual benefits of cacao. Why SoulPops Cacao is unique and stands out from other cacao brands. The importance of people, connection and community. How SoulPops Cacao has grown since it began and what lies ahead for the business. Finding gratitude within before you look outside of yourself. LEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS
