She is now Marketing Director at The Collaborative , the fastest growing premium plant-based yogurt and dessert brand and mother of a beautiful baby boy (who joined us at points on the podcast!). However, she still took the time to stop by and share a #SixPack of ways and #lifehacks to stay healthy and be present, which is so important as the COVID-1...
