The People Who Shaped My Journey
Behind every success story, there are people who inspire, challenge, and support us along the way. As I reflect on my journey—both personally and in building Salt Lab—I am deeply grateful for the individuals who have left a lasting impact on my life. These ten people have influenced me through their wisdom, guidance, and unwavering belief in me, shaping not just who I am but also the mission and vision of Salt Lab.
Here are 10 people who have left a lasting impact on my journey—through their wisdom, support, and leading by example.
1. My Husband, Adam – His unwavering belief in me, no matter the obstacle, will never be lost on me. Through every challenge, he has been my rock, my voice of reason, and my biggest supporter.
2. Kat John – My go-to for years when it comes to self-reflection and internal growth. I remember calling Kat in frustration, saying, “Everyone around me right now is pushing my buttons like you wouldn’t believe!” With love and care, she reminded me that there was one common denominator in every situation I described—me. That lesson has stuck with me ever since.
3. Zach Bush – The first person to open my eyes to regenerative farming and the power of our soil. His work led me to create Salt Lab’s give-back model, supporting farmers across Australia to farm regeneratively and improve soil health for the future.
4, 5 & 6. My Children – Sienna, Millicent, Scarlett – The reason I do any of this. I want a better future for them. I want them to know the true healing our food system can provide. I want them to trust that their bodies are far more intelligent than any external solution—if we simply support them in the way they’re calling for.
7. My Team – To share my story and vision, and have a team of 10+ people truly engaged and passionate about their role in Salt Lab—beyond just selling a product—is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever experienced. Forever grateful for their collective belief and support.
8. Will, Jay, and my EE Family – My business coaches and the crew who have given me a safe space to turn to whenever I needed it. Always challenging me, asking the right questions, and pushing me to explore new ways of thinking and doing things.
9. Annatoly – My natural doctor, and the person who first exposed me to topical magnesium. When I was in the depths of burnout 15 years ago, he guided me toward healing, changing my life with one simple yet profound suggestion. That moment was the catalyst for everything Salt Lab is today.
10. Our Community – Without the feedback, support, and life-changing stories shared by our customers, Salt Lab wouldn’t be what it is today. Your belief in our products, your testimonials, and the impact they’ve had on your lives have reinforced my purpose over and over again.
Gratitude in Every Step
Each of these individuals has played a unique role in shaping my journey, reminding me of the power of belief, resilience, and community. From the personal support of my family to the wisdom of mentors and the unwavering encouragement from the Salt Lab community, I am beyond grateful for the path that has led me here.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to continuing to grow, learn, and give back—together.
