Today on the show, we have an extra special guest & long time friend of mine.. Kate!

Kate is a plant-loving creative and flight attendant.

She is the owner and creator of Rally & Roots, which is an Etsy shop that specializes in happy home decor (in the form of personalized clay pots).

For over five years Kate has worked as a flight attendant for a Canadian airline, and although she still loves the flexibility, travel and perks of the job, two years ago she was itching to do something creative on her time off.

After accumulating a few too many plants, Kate decided to paint her own clay pots and hand stamp cute phrases on them.

They were so loved by family and friends that her husband nudged her to try selling them online.

Kate turned to Etsy, a handmade and vintage selling platform, where she opened a shop, posted a few photos, and as easy as that, Rally & Roots was born.

What started as a side hustle and hobby quickly turned into a full-time business that Kate has poured her heart and soul into. In just over two years, the hand painted planters can be found living in 45 US States, 9 Canadian Provinces and in both the UK and Australia.

You can find Kate in Ontario where she lives with her husband, Jordan, and their adopted mini border collie, Pixie and their son. Kate loves to share her travel adventures and most importantly her love of plants.
