Jenny Smith | Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach

I am inspired by doctors who go against mainstream medicine and take an investigative approach to patient care. Dr. Mark Hyman is a doctor I admire for his work in Functional medicine. He inspired me to see a functional medicine doctor for my own health. This approach to treatment changed my life. It changed everything for me. I had never felt more valued, and the quality of care I received was priceless. This motivated me to become a certified functional medicine health coach. Read more>>

The Cupidos | Blogger – Family Hikes

As The Cupidos, we are inspired by nature itself. We strive to appreciate the beauty our world has to offer by exploring it, whether that’s through camping, floating down a river or hiking. Because of our inspiration, our goal is to help our 15 month old develop a love for adventure and nature like we do. We believe that we don’t have to stop living because we have a child, instead we involve him in all our hobbies and passions via adventures. Read more>>

Grace El | Host of Me, Authentically Podcast

I am inspired by the people around me who continuously strive to live in their truth. I am inspired by people who aren’t afraid to show their evolution because our thoughts may change as we grow and shed old ideals. I am inspired by people who continue to fight the darkness within and smile on the outside. I am inspired by those who stand in the gap for others who can’t find the strength to stand for themselves. I am inspired by those who have healed themselves and now willingly share their wisdom with others. Read more>>

sintia magana | Paramedical tattoo artist

My goals inspire me the most. I know why I want to make a career in the corporate world, what jobs I will have in five and ten years, what things I will buy, what feats I will achieve. And also the realization that good things do not come easy in life. You have to work hard to escape the mediocrity–if that’s your goal of course. And it is my goal. I do not want to be a failure, a mediocre individual, someone who works just to survive. On the contrary, I want to become one of the best in my field, and such goal inspires me to try hard, leave my comfort zone often, and make sacrifices. Read more>>

Jenn Blazer | Jenn Blazer | Owner & Designer | Juniper Flowers AZ

I’m so inspired by the desert landscapes in the Southwest! I’ve been a florist for 13 years, but spent the last 10 years exploring Arizona and our neighboring states through rock climbing, hiking, and trail running. I’m constantly amazed by the diversity and simple beauty of the desert – the shapes, textures, colors, and movement. I strive to bring the same kind of harmony and natural beauty to the pieces I design. I’m also so inspired by my clients. Read more>>

We are inspired by being able to be the source of income of so many hardworking people and them being able to bring food to their tables. We are inspired by the smiles on a customer’s face after we are done with a project and they see the beautiful results. We are inspired by the stories we get of our customers and using their new spaces, by them creating memories and being so thankful for being a part of those changes. Read more>>
