Craving California Avocados, Community, and a Vegan Cookie Art Canvas with Meg Rosko

What happens when you push through pain, allow yourself to create, and find a community of people to support you along your healing journey?

Our guest this week is Meghan Rosko, founder of @nutmegandhoneybee. She expresses herself creatively through her vegan cookie creations, using baked goods as a canvas for amazing art. She is a brave soul for deciding to turn the pain of loss into a beautiful baking business, which first started out as a way to heal herself and to honor a loved one. Meg is a fantastic example of someone young yet wise beyond her years, who knows that chasing your creative cravings can truly change the trajectory of your life. Beyond baking and decorating her cookie art canvases, she is a textile artist.
