What happens when your art, healing, and heritage converge into a calling?
This week, Lynsey is joined by Samara Cristhina, a consultant and long-time friend, as she shares her journey, from an art installation in Bushwick to the creation of BreadxButta. She reflects on her years working on a cannabis farm, launching BreadxButta just before the pandemic, and the emotional terrain of building a spiritually aligned business. Through cycles of burnout, transformation, and spiritual re-centering, Lynsey opens up about grief, growth, and the decision to close a chapter and birth a new one: Yabisi. This episode is a raw and reflective exploration of letting go, trusting your path, and honoring the wisdom of your ancestors every step of the way.
