Kelp is one of the most sustainable plants in the world. Not only do kelp forests thrive without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, they also support carbon sequestration, promote biodiversity, buffer ocean acidification, and improve water quality. Snacks from the Sea supports these incredible ecosystems by creating nutrient-dense, kelp-based snacks that are harvested sustainably to ensure a vibrant ecosystem while supporting a lifestyle of health and happiness. Inspired by a nourishing dish made by her Korean mother, Snacks from the Sea founder Jennifer wanted to provide people in America with the incredible health benefits of kelp in a convenient, delicious, crunchy snack. Moreso than traditional seaweed, kelp is a nutrient powerhouse that contains healthy vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A and K1, folate, magnesium, iron, and iodine and a powerful antioxidant, fucoidan, which has been shown to have anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and immunoregulatory properties. Snacks from the Sea’s signature product, Kelpie Chips, delivers the nourishing power of kelp in a line of all-natural kelp chips available in three delicious flavors: Zesty Pizza, Chipotle, and Salt & Pepper. Apart from supporting vibrant human health, Snacks from the Sea also benefits marine ecosystems. Snacks from the Sea works directly with Korean farmers to harvest kelp from large, sustainable underwater forests. Their kelp farmers are part of an eco-friendly cooperative that was one of the first kelp producers to receive an ASC-MSC seaweed certification. This certification means their operations have demonstrated proven success at minimizing environmental impact, and that employees and the community are being cared for. ASC-MSC-certified operations are monitored based on five criteria: sustainable wild populations, environmental impacts, effective management, social responsibility, and community relations and interactions. “In Korea, kelp has been used as a remedy for thousands of years,” said Snacks from the Sea founder Jennifer Murphy. “In creating Snacks from the Sea, I wanted to share the amazing benefits of this nutrient powerhouse with people across the United States. In doing so, we are also supporting marine ecosystems that sequester carbon. Our kelp-based products are a win for snackers and a win for the planet.” From sea to snack, Snacks from the Sea’s kelp-based products are sustainably sourced directly from the sea, then lightly fried with delicious natural seasonings to create the perfect crunchy kelp to eat with a favorite dip, crumbled for a salad or soup topper, or carried in a backpack for clean energy on the trail. Snacks from the Sea can be purchased on Amazon. About Snacks from the Sea Snacks from the Sea is a line of nutrient-dense, kelp-based snacks. Snacks from the Sea signature kelp chips are made from sustainably harvested kelp and lightly fried with delicious natural seasonings. Rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant activity, Snacks from the Sea Kelpie Chips are perfect with a favorite dip, crumbled for a salad or soup topper, or carried in a backpack for clean energy on the trail.

A word from the founder: My name is Tara Fountain, and I am the founder of PURPLE Women, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. In 2011, the Lord led my family and I to Loganville, GA from CT. And I knew it was with great purpose and also knew I had to just be obedient and trust God in the unknown. So, about a year later, God started to birth a great passion within me for his daughters. I mean, this was a strong desire as if they were my daughters. He then gave me a vision of the mission, and my answer was devotedly YES! And it was like I experienced the birthing of a child, locking eyes with it, wanting to protect it, and felt an unspeakable feeling of joy. It was the best feeling I have ever felt in my life. I believe I even let out a scream of such excitement. It was truly a spiritual birthing experience. God then surrounded me with a group of women who believed in the mission and shared the same passion. We then started meeting and planning. I just knew this was about to take off. In the midst of God forming PURPLE Women, my husband wasn't having the same experience of GA as I was. He really started to miss family and CT. We then made the decision to go back to CT. This truly broke my heart. I have this group of women alongside me, ready to see the vision come to pass and I have to now tell them I'm leaving. I tried to make the best out of the situation by telling them nothing has to change, we can continue to move forward with everything and that I'll just be out of state and can do things from afar. Well, that didn't work. After returning back to CT, it only lasted about a month and everyone went their separate ways. It took a long talk with God and a lot of praying for me to come to peace with this situation. It wasn't long after returning home that my husband and I both realized that we wanted to return to GA. So, the plan was to get into a job that we could transfer to GA with. We did just that and fast forward 10 years, we had 2 cars filled driving back to GA. At this time, PURPLE Women was not in my thoughts or plans really. The desire was still there subconsciously but that's where it stayed. In January of 2022, I was sitting in my room on my bed writing down some goals and visions for the new year. I then started feeling those birthing pains again and I instantly was like, is this for real, are you sure Lord? With all types of emotions: doubt, fear, excitement, and joy all in one. But then I remembered my Yes, and then the confidence came and then the reassurance that I was chosen for this came. I then started to ask the Lord where do I start, do I reach out to the same women I was with before? I didn't feel led to reach back out to them. I then instantly felt in my spirit to start at women's shelters. I was like okay Lord you're going to have to talk with my husband about that one and give him peace with me going to women's shelters. Then I started researching women's shelters and Athens was coming up as I searched but still, nothing resonated with me. I then just told the Lord, you lead and I'll follow. During this time, I had started my health & life coaching business as well as my bath & body business. Which, led me to seek out vendor opportunities to market my businesses. I applied to several markets and shows. I then got accepted into Athens Farmers Market. I was very excited about this new journey and couldn't wait to start selling my products. So, on my second market day, this woman comes up to my table and starts having some small talk with my husband and I. I knew there was an agenda with her I just didn't know what. She then buys a product and then goes into telling us that she is going up to sing. The Athens Farmers Market has live entertainment. We said okay we'll be listening out for you. She sang beautifully. As the market was ending my husband went to go grab him and I something to drink and he had to pass the woman to get there. As he was passing her, she asked him to come over, so he did and she asks him "Do you think your wife would mind coming down to my women's shelter and speaking to the women?" My husband's face lit up and he came and told me, and I was blown away. I was like Lord you are something else. It was so divine and every time I visited her women's shelter myself and the women experienced the deep love that God has for his daughters. God had us planted at a church in Loganville, that was an hour away from where we lived. At this church was women that was appointed to be destiny helpers for PURPLE Women, believing in the mission and sharing the same passion. Our Mission is to connect with and inspire women to live empowered lives through discovering and following God's predestined purpose to thrive as prudent, unique, reverent, powerful, loving, and esteemed women. And here is our vision; As women today, we are faced with the pressures to be perfect in our appearance, in our homes, and in the world around us. As we put our focus on this perfect image, we are masking what's truly going on. We are trying to cover up the hurt, loneliness, abandonment, divorce, loss, depression, oppression, abuse, rejection and uncertainties. Our goal at Purple Women is to teach women that our God is a God of restoration. He will restore every area of your life. Not to where it used to be, not to where you imagined it would be but to where it is predestined to be. Join us on this mission to restore all women, from young to the old, whom God loves so much! With the passion of God, we are on a mission to restore all of the King's daughters! Our shows, workshops, resources and support coaches and equip women to become PURPLE Women and walk in victory every day!

As the only independent commercial nut purveyor owned and roasted by a woman, Jewels Under the Kilt is a shining example of excellence. walnuts, pecans, and almonds are roasted with locally sourced ingredients, setting a new standard in nut craftsmanship for households across North America. Jewels Under the Kilt is known for their patented maple roasting process to provide a sweet crunch on each nut without the artificial sugars and sweeteners of many other roasted nuts on the market. Burrow created a process that used family-grown maple syrup freshly harvested in the cold Canadian winter months to gently roll all different types of nuts for a taste and nutritious profile that’s hard to beat. This makes each nut crisp on the outside with a dense, meaty inside. The nutrients are intact with less sugar and a flavor that sticks to every nook and cranny of each beautifully grown nut. Web: https://www.jewelsunderthekilt... From Elizabeth Burrows: In 2010 my partner moved to a farm outside Fergus. People thought that I won’t last. They thought the person they saw every day was the loud, smiley city woman they worked with. That person was me, but not the whole of me. My kindred spirit the seniors that I've met over the course of my career, they knew that I’m going to love it. Well, they were right. I returned to my adventurous roots. I explored every nook and cranny of my farm, my county, and other areas too. I reconnected to my roots of feeling touching sense. My joy in creating returned with the force of a tornado. I worked with my hands growing vegetables and flowers until I did some research and found out maybe just maybe I could grow nuts. Little did I realize that, yes we could grow nuts. So my partner and I planted 150 nuts and fruit trees in 2013. At the same time, we were receiving the families' annual jars of maple syrup. I don’t really like syrup it was a little too sweet for me, but it was really good at masking the flavour of the nuts I was buying. So I started working the recipe over and over again in my head until finally, I created my paten process for roasting nuts. I found I had a knack and a joy for roasting and creating flavoured nuts naturally. This was when Jewels Under the Kilt was born. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit®Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.

Stay Strange is reframing how people view autism—with a positive perspective. Ryan Cameron, Founder and CEO of Stay Strange, shares insights into the brand’s origins, the impact of autism on her family, and what lies ahead for Stay Strange. Her ability to manage school alongside running a company, while also championing social justice makes her a significant voice for the next generation of Trail Blazers. Her story is truly remarkable, and I couldn’t be prouder of her. This episode promises to be a source of great admiration and inspiration. Web: https://staystrangeclothing.bi... About the Brand: We are a black woman owned clothing brand dedicated to promoting the acceptance of autistic people. Established in 2017, inspired by my younger brother, who has ASD. I wanted to shift the word “strange” into a good word. No brain is “normal” and we should be more inclusive towards those with differing abilities, not solely because of their gifts, but because it’s a basic human right this community deserves. We help advocate for this community by spreading awareness about injustices within the black autism community. For example, Matthew Rushing’s case of being incarcerated after law enforcement ignored his ASD diagnosis, and coerced him into a plea deal. We seek to highlight the intersection of disability and racial injustice. ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit®Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.
