The Story Behind S+S

Two years ago we took the first steps on this journey to bring to life something that had been nestled deep in our hearts. A few weeks ago, we found ourselves in Vermont, shooting the campaign of our dreams, taking us one step closer to sharing with you the journey we had embarked on two years ago.Here’s the truth. When we started this project we weren’t sure what it was even going to be. What we knew was that we were feeling pulled to pour our hearts into something that was our own. After launching our podcast, we realized how amazing it felt to connect with people on a real level. However, our mission didn’t feel complete just yet. We spent countless hours digging deep into our spirits and praying about what this “next thing” was going to be. A thing we wanted to do together to share what really matters most in our hearts, inspiring people along the way.

We needed to clear the land before we could break ground. We took time off to tuck away. We put in place routines to give our day to day life more balance. We parted ways with the old to make room for the new. This meant closing the book on things that no longer fit our growing vision so we could open up a new chapter with a clean slate and clear minds. We invested time and energy into learning how to start a business ourselves. We met with coaches and mentors until we felt we had a good grasp on everything, all while knowing we had a solid support system of people who were happy to lend a hand along the way.

When we finally saw the vision, we realized it was a mountain so big that we didn’t know which way to start climbing. So we began praying. We waited patiently on God’s timing to bring us both the resources we knew we needed, and the ones we didn’t even know we needed. 

We ended up building a small team to help us carry out our vision. Together, we created this website to be nothing short of what we dreamed it could be. We conducted product research and dedicated ourselves to product development ensuring we had a hand in every single step. There were many setbacks throughout this process. Ones we had anticipated may occur, and ones we had never expected. With each roadblock it became tougher to not feel discouraged, but we found peace in knowing the highs and lows were all a part of a greater plan. It is hard to release control, but it is crucial to carry on.

It finally felt real two years into this journey when we had our feet on the ground in Vermont, bringing life to the campaign that would accompany the launch of our brand, S+S. The vision we had been working towards all this time. We are writing this days away from this website going live. We are coming up on the announcement of the very first product that will live in the S+S shop. You’ll find some other blogs already published, and we are working on recipes, how tos, letters from us, and more to come. We will be continuing to release episodes of the podcast that started this whole journey, and you’ll be able to find them here on our site. We’ve sent out our first few newsletters, which is where we’ll be connecting directly with you.We'd like to thank you for your time and support, it truly means so much to us! We are thrilled to welcome you into this new chapter of our lives.

P.S. Good things are coming very soon!
