That deepened in my career shifts each role getting closer to the dream, and each edit leaving me searching more and more for a healthy, mindful, conscious, open, expansive network to BELONG to. As a young person, I was hungry for like-minded friends, for being seen, for being able to live fully expressed. I couldn’t find my tribe, my community, my support, my inspiration. The middle part of the story was that I didn’t last 2 years in Sarasota that round. That’s how the first evolution of WGA became what it was! I soaked up knowledge with roles in natural beauty, wellness, vitamins and supplements, and then ending in medical cannabis. This was another industry I adored, furthering my obsession with natural and organic living, where I stayed for 8 years to come. I originally moved to Sarasota with dreams of opening a metaphysical shop in 2006, but the universe had other plans, throwing me into natural retail management. I added a part time gig at my favorite crystal shop in Ann Arbor, falling more and more in love with the natural healing world. Being a licensed builder in a male-dominated industry was exciting, empowering, challenging… but it wasn't my true soul work. So where did it all begin? My first career was in residential remodeling with my family business. I have felt the same for myself as I have grown, pushed, pulled, and bloomed right alongside my sweet small business. Now it seems after a 180 in the evolution of our community, we have arrived at where we’re meant to stay. The past 7 years have been about becoming, transforming, growing, shifting, evolving. Beyond the immense gratitude to be here, to know all of you, there are parts of this journey I haven’t shared much. Today marks 7 years for Wild Ginger Apothecary.
