Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 8 🌸 Join me for a rich conversation with a beam of light! Kate Wiggeringloh, is the co-founder of Primeaux Knives in Knoxville, TN and she wants you to stay hydrated, believe in magic, and celebrate everything.
In this episode we explore how she is integrating her life as an artist into entrepreneurship, partnership, wellness, and magic. We touch on a variety of topics including our love of food, how we met, what it’s like to be a “step chick”, and Amma the Hugging Saint.
In addition to enjoying moments of synchronicity, generosity, and joy, tune in to learn:
How being in relationship with nature enabled her to be in authentic relationship with herself
Her trail name and favorite affirmations that came from her through hiking trips
How she invites sacredness into her routine
What her gratitude practice looks like
Which word to add to your “to-do” list for a perspective shift
What she would want to reincarnate as
Ways to decolonize our communication
Why she considers kindness a part of punk culture
Wisdom from her hula hoop teacher
How she is navigating entrepreneurship and partnership
How to infuse business branding and cooking with intentionality
Why we want Trey Anastasio/Phish to become owners of a Primeaux Knife
