One of the most complex challenges an artist in business must face is the duality between being drawn to art in its pure essence and deciphering the code to make it profitable. At the same time, the satisfaction of finding the sweet spot between "birthing" pieces of content that generate profit for the company and its customers is incomparable.

In today's episode, the extraordinarily creative artist, chocolatier, and entrepreneur Annie Woo joins us to share her version of mixing arts, inspiration, ingenuity, and business. Annie is the Founder of Sweetstory Media, a video service company that helps entrepreneurs find their best media voice through the creation of conscious entertainment. She is also the Founder of Sweetduet, a brand focused on health, nutrition, and integrity, currently pioneering the organic premium gourmet industry that sells organic, unadulterated, chocolate-covered fruit.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Annie's journey as an entrepreneur and artist, how she developed her passion for chocolate, and how she got into CPG.

The almost infinite amount of online resources available about health and fitness might be a double-edged sword. On one side, people with no nutrition knowledge can google a FODMAP diet and have a reasonable idea of what foods to avoid and which ones to consume more frequently.

At the same time, many people might fall for the dietary dogma of the moment, follow a celebrity's extreme diet, or plan their meals copying a "what I eat during the day" reel on Instagram, just to break their faces against the only universal truth of health and fitness: each wellness journey is unique.

This week, we hear about holistic nutrition, weight loss, mental health, and communications from the multifaceted expert Maryann Walsh. Maryann is a Registered Dietitian and Wellness Expert and owner of Walsh Nutrition Consulting. She holds two Bachelor's degrees, one in Dietetics and the other in Biological Sciences and Marketing, a Master's degree in Food and Nutrition, and is getting her doctorate in Psychology.

Throughout this episode, Maryann shares her thoughts on how the general public access, interprets and uses the massive amount of information about nutrition and wellness they have available. She also discusses time management, mental health, and personal growth and why people shouldn't mindlessly follow nutrition dogmas.

Additionally, we expand on the importance of spreading awareness of mental and physical health issues, how she developed a passion for helping people deal with mental health issues, her newest endeavor at a substance abuse recovery clinic, and more.

Tune in and listen to episode 14 of Cultivating Wellness Media and learn why you should stay away from one-size-fits-all nutrition and dietary solutions.
