When we choose to partner with local INDEPENDENT natural products stores, we’re not just placing products on shelves for retail sales; we’re investing in the health, wellness and quality of life of the communities they serve!
Peggy's Natural Foods has been taking care of the Hobe Sound, FL community for decades. After a day with Ryan and the Peggy’s Family, it’s easy to see why!
Here’s to the power of local! 💚

Thank you, Erica Tyler and The Vine Natural Health Shoppe, for putting so beautifully!

Happy Mother’s Day from The Mountain Alternatives Family!

Motherhood asks for so much: your time, your energy, your patience, your heart.

Every day, we see women walk through our doors who are caring for families, holding everything together, and still choosing to care for themselves, too. And that is no small thing.

It is truly an honor to see and serve you. To support your wellness, your rest, and your balance, and I’m not sure I will ever feel deserving.

To the mothers, the nurturers, the caregivers, and the women learning to pour back into themselves, we see you. We celebrate you. We are so grateful for you.

Happy Mother’s Day, from The Vine Natural Health Shoppe 🌱🤍

Been a week since participating in the led leadership conference at . There were a ton of great leadership story takeaways from , Jon Sheyer and - daily grind discipline, principles over policy, culture is king, ALWAYS go for greatness, win as a team, simplify the complex, communication is important, etc.

The top 3 takeaways that you can never get from any leadership book or a large conference (only 50 participants last week):

1) Authenticity and vulnerability make you human
- nobody said this specifically, but EVERY speaker shared some very difficult times, and the showed emotion…it made everything they said 1,000x more real, believable
- leaders can be perceived as invincible and having all the answers…sharing and showing humanity makes you relatable, then make the decision and move forward to greatness

2) If you don’t have passion for what you’re doing, nobody will follow
- faking it is short-lived
- leading by example with actions, emotions and time shows what you stand for; their passion poured out onto us in the rooms - was beyond intense!

3) We are human…connections are everything and take care of yourself
- being present, face-to-face, building trust is what builds a great team
- invest in the people you believe in - drive, passion, willingness to learn, work ethic, personal integrity…build your team for where you want to grow vs who you are today
- a great reminder that you personally need to be physically and mentally healthy; otherwise, you’re no good to lead anyone (great post attached)

HUGE credit to , and thanks to his team, for pulling this amazing event together.
