A wife of 24 years and mom of three, Mary brings a relatable, real-life perspective to everything she does, and she’s proof that starting something new at any stage of life can lead to incredible results.

It was a pleasure to have Mary on my show. She shared with us how she went from working a full time job to becoming a full time content creator in affiliate marketing. She put herself in the space without any experience and kept showing up daily promoting products that she knew worked, she would add the link and make a few dollars. She made 400 one month and the once she connected with a team, she went to 25,000 the next month and has continued to grow. She treats this as her job, but also is able to have freedom in doing more with her family and life by choosing this path. She quite her 9-5. She loves what she does and shares with women over 40 how she has gotten to where she is now in the business. Want to learn more, connect with her Mary through her links below.

Your voice is meant to be heard

Laura Ard

Growing up in Northern California, I developed a passion for business at an early age. Truthfully, I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Lupus and became very sick. I was prediabetic, had gestational diabetes, and inflammation was attacking my body. I knew I had to make significant changes to my lifestyle. At the same time, I still wanted to enjoy fun foods with my kids and be part of our family’s Friday pizza night. So I set out to create a healthier alternative and invented a cauliflower pizza crust. That decision sparked a transformational health journey. I was able to come off steroids and Plaquenil, lost 48 pounds, and ultimately felt called to help others on their own wellness journeys. I later became certified as a life and health coach through Martha Beck. In 2015, I began selling my cauliflower pizza crust at our local farmers’ market with my kids. What started as a small family venture quickly grew. In January 2017, the product went viral and Cali’flour Foods was born. Then, in late 2019, I sold the majority of Cali’flour and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8-figure deal.

After selling the majority of Cali’flour Foods, Amy doubled down on her mission: to help people tap into the body’s innate ability to heal, thrive, and stay well. In 2023, she founded Beyond Medicine (BeMe) and launched what would become the foundation for her next chapter, Soursop Nutrition, alongside a powerhouse team and female-led investment group. What started as a focus on one of the world’s most powerful superfruits has since evolved into something much bigger. But after years of research, Amy uncovered a major gap: most supplements simply aren’t delivering what our bodies truly need. Today, that vision lives on as Livyond, a next-generation wellness brand rooted in cellular health, transparency, and bio- individuality, spanning both ingestible nutrition and skincare.

After spending years developing and refining formulations, Amy created products designed not just to taste good—but to create real, noticeable impact in the body. What began as Soursop Nutrition has now expanded into Livyond’s full wellness ecosystem, including cellular nutrition products and a rapidly growing skincare line designed to support the body both internally and externally. Because true health isn’t one-dimensional, it’s a system.

In this episode of Voice Unbound, Laura reflects on the opportunities that shape our lives. The ones we say yes to, the ones we miss, and the ones we don’t even realize were there at the time.

She shares personal insight on why being in the right rooms matters, including stepping into an opportunity this week in San Diego, and how growth often comes simply from showing up with an open heart.

This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself what doors God may be opening right now and what courage it takes to walk through them.

Perfect for anyone navigating change, growth, or the quiet nudge to step into something new.

What room is God inviting you to step into right now, and what might be holding you back from saying yes?

Have you ever noticed repeating numbers, certain dates, or moments in time that seem to stop you in your tracks? In this episode, Laura opens a gentle and honest conversation about days, numbers, and time—and how God often speaks through what we’re tempted to overlook.

When you’ve experienced loss, time feels different. Days carry weight. Numbers resurface. Dates sting, comfort, or quietly whisper reminders of God’s nearness. This episode isn’t about chasing signs—it’s about learning to pay attentionand inviting God into the moments that feel heavy, confusing, or sacred.

If you’ve been wondering whether God is still present in the small details of your life, this conversation is for you.

• Why time can feel distorted after grief or transition

• How certain days or numbers can stir emotions, memories, or awareness

• The difference between noticing and over-spiritualizing

• How God often meets us in the ordinary, not just the dramatic

• Learning to pause and ask, “God, what are You inviting me into here?”

God is not bound by time—but He is deeply present within it. Nothing about your life is random, wasted, or overlooked. Even the days that feel insignificant or painful are held by Him.

Is there a day, number, or moment in your life that keeps resurfacing—and instead of dismissing it, what might happen if you brought it to God in prayer?

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”— Psalm 90:12

If time has felt heavy, confusing, or tender lately, you’re not behind—and you’re not missing anything. God is present right here, right now. Healing doesn’t rush, and neither does He.

If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who may need this reminder today.
