This week on the LKN with Tay Pod, I’m joined by Emily Cowan, founder of The Blossomist.
We talk all about her journey into starting The Blossomist, how she’s creating connection through floral workshops + pop-up flower bars, and why experience-based businesses are becoming such a special part of the Lake Norman community.

Emily shares what inspired her to start, the biggest lesson she’s learned along the way, her favorite LKN spot, and how she creates events that leave people feeling connected, inspired, and grounded.

Emily is also the founder of Rooted Social Media, a social media management and content creation agency helping Lake Norman + Charlotte businesses grow through intentional strategy and authentic content.

Such a fun conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, wellness, and building meaningful experiences for people.

This week on LKN w/ Tay, I’m sitting down with Jeannie + Rachel from Health Hax!

We talked about what it really looks like to take the leap into business, building confidence through fear, and creating experiences that keep people coming back. Plus, they answered my 3 favorite questions: why they started, their favorite LKN spot, and the biggest lesson they’ve learned along the way.

From wellness + recovery to community + connection, this episode is full of honest conversation and inspiration.

This week, Taylor sat down with Cory Rindskopf and the conversation was one you’re going to want to lean into. From navigating boundaries and burnout to building something meaningful through the messy middle, Cory shares what it really looks like behind the scenes of entrepreneurship.
As the founder of Bells Box Collective, Cory turned a simple but powerful belief into a thriving candle workshop experience and lifestyle brand rooted right here in Lake Norman. What started in 2017 has grown into something so much bigger, including her nontoxic home and laundry line, Pretty + Clean Home, created for women who care about what they’re bringing into their space.

And yes… there’s something big happening. The Pink Studio is getting an upgrade. Think bigger space, same heart, and even more room for connection and creativity as they move to their new location on June 1.

This episode is honest, inspiring, and a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to keep moving forward. If you’ve been feeling stretched, stuck, or just need a little spark, this one is for you.
