What started as a simple side hustle for a single mom in Halifax has exploded into a thriving business crafting stunning charcuterie boards and tables for weddings, corporate events, and more.

In this inspiring and down-to-earth conversation, Amanda shares her incredible journey: from buying her first house and needing flexible work, to landing a 250-person corporate gala and fitting four commercial fridges in her kitchen. She opens up about the realities of balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, the viral power of a genius business name, and how social media helped build a supportive local food community.

Get the inside scoop on her creative process, the math behind a 32-foot charcuterie table, and the heartwarming moment her young daughter started passing out business cards for "Stella's Charcuterie." Amanda also gets real about the less-glamorous parts of the job (spreadsheets!) and reveals the profound influence of a father who taught her to "just make it happen."

Tune in for a story of passion, perseverance, and pretty plates that proves you can build something amazing right from your own kitchen.
