Roots and Branches of Lehi
Podcast Description
Growing up in a small town far from my extended family, I found that my neighbors became like family to me. Even today, we come together to catch up, celebrate, and share life’s moments, bound not by blood but by shared experiences and friendship. Now, living in Lehi, I believe that same sense of connection can flourish here as well. This podcast invites us to connect with those around us, strengthening our community through shared stories and experiences. Whether you’ve been here for years or just moved in, join me in getting to know the faces, stories, and lives that make up Lehi.

✨ Sunshine Street Co. | Personalized Jewelry, Healing Moments & Small Business Dreams | Highlight Reel
What if a simple piece of jewelry could tell someone's story? In this highlight from Roots & Branches of Lehi, Rachel Hunter shares how a desire to create something meaningful beyond motherhood led her to build Sunshine Street Co., a one-woman business dedicated to celebrating life's most important moments.
After launching on August 26, 2021, Rachel taught herself the art of hand-stamped jewelry using little more than a hammer, an anvil, and a vision. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a thriving business known throughout Lehi for personalized necklaces, bracelets, and keepsakes that commemorate names, anniversaries, birthdays, meaningful symbols, and even angel numbers.
But for Rachel, the jewelry has always been about more than accessories. Many of her most meaningful creations honor life's biggest milestones—from welcoming a new baby to remembering a loved one who has passed away. Through each custom piece, she has witnessed how thoughtful gifts can provide comfort, preserve memories, and strengthen the bonds between families and friends.
Her journey is also a testament to the courage it takes to build a business from the ground up, embrace vulnerability, and serve a community that has enthusiastically supported her dream.
It's a beautiful reminder that the smallest handcrafted treasures often carry the greatest meaning—and that strong communities are built one meaningful connection at a time.
