We're visiting with Jen Lagedrost Cavender, owner of Nectar & Bloom. After studying English and creative writing in college, Jen found herself teaching Literature and Creative Writing at a university. But, she felt something was missing and longed to reconnect with her creative side. Inspired by women business owners in the floral industry, she decided to explore flowers as a viable business model. Ultimately, Jen found fulfillment by aligning her work with her passions for flowers and writing. She created a business model that resonates with her values and allows her to express her creativity. She believes strongly in the importance of self-care and creating space for rest and introspection. And she's created various avenues to teach, encourage, and support floral designers and creative business owners in pursuing self-care in order create a sustainable career.
