Bridget and Robbie Jenkins kept delaying their dream of growing and distributing local flowers. Eventually, in the future, one day, someday -- they told themselves -- they'd go all in on their business.

They found excuses. They couldn't find the time. They had other businesses to tend to. Yet, the inner voices pulling them toward their future remained.

And as fate would have it, the universe gave the couple the push they needed. At that point, they couldn't ignore the voices any longer.

In today's conversation from their (echo-y) farmhouse, Bridget and Robbie sit down with me to discuss:

• Bridget Jenkins' Seacoast Story (00:00)
• Bridget's intuitive eating counselor career (08:31)
• The beginning of Nowadays Flowers (15:10)
• The scary moment that changed everything (23:10)
• Reflecting on Nowadays Flowers' success (33:56)
• What's your mission? (48:58)
• The Final Final Question (50:56)

Bridget and Robbie Jenkins are the co-founders of Nowadays Flowers, a micro flower farm seated on unceded Abenaki, Pennacook and Wabanaki Confederacy land in Dover, N.H. With the help of their beloved flower truck named Clover, Bridget and Robbie host educational workshops, design custom arrangements, and also deliver unique arrangements for weddings, bridal showers, and the event of your dreams.
