In this episode, Glenn and I had the delightful opportunity to catch up with award-winning chocolatier, founder and creative genius behind "Live on Chocolate", art school graduate, skincare developer, and good friend, Stacey Burgess. Curious maker, long-time vegan, entrepreneur, and champion of organic, fairly-traded ingredients, Stacey talked about how losing herself in her company has allowed her to discover who she is - beyond her work. We talked about awareness, the stairways above and below the pigeon-holed ideas we can often have of each other, stress, resilience, perseverance, and commitment and care that comes from within. Lesia and Stacey reminisced about their time spent at Lesia's former bakery, LPK's Culinary Groove, sharing their commitment to sustainability, and the imagination and creativity that comes out in what we do. Stacey also talked about her recent foray into skincare. She shared how much she loves and values blending various aromas and ingredients, bringing them together in ways that support people in overcoming shame and judgement about themselves because of how they see their skin, experiencing that shame and judgement fade away as their skin becomes more vibrant, allowing them to really see themselves, perhaps for the first time. We also talked inspiration, joy, perfume, anti-oxidants, beauty, love, and of course. . . chocolate! This, and so much more. . . ! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end!
