Today’s guest is a former live TV morning-show reporter who followed her heart into a life with flowers. We’re talking about her leap into the industry, sharing our funny stories from first weddings and things we wish we would have known then that we know now.

Kalin lives in Northern Michigan where Sweetwater North was born out of a love of gifting flowers to people. Kalin is passionate about designing flowers that feel whimsical, natural, organic, and garden-inspired. When she isn’t at a wedding, she and her husband are hosting parties at their lavender farm, swimming in the lake, or pouring champagne.
