"We Learned to Trust Each Other" with Lexi & Beth of Crowded Kitchen

When I interviewed Beth and Lexi, the mother-daughter team behind the hugely popular vegan blog Crowded Kitchen, I felt like I was listening to a pair of best friends communicating.

Because of their easy way of relating , this episode is chock full of entertaining, warm & funny stories, AND incredibly instructive, wise advice about making it through the first, difficult stages of a online business, AND it effortlessly raises and discusses serious topics, like the prevalence of eating disorders among high-performing female athletes, and how to address and prevent those disorders.

It’s, the kind of conversation that only happens between two very good friends. It was a joy to listen to these motivated, successful women who love each other very deeply discuss the journey they’ve been on together. I can’t wait for you to hear it too.
