Melissa Smith of The Hale Life
Today we back with co-host Courtney of Clandestine Kitchen for another episode from our Women in Food series and we are speaking with Melissa Smith. Melissa is a mother, wife, VP at a privately owned distribution company, entrepreneur, and self-made super connector. She has overcome obstacles and tragic loss and with the strength she’s gained through life’s journey, she has used it to dig deeper and find connection to her own “why” and purpose in life. Melissa is the co-creator of an all-natural, locally sourced bone broth called Hale Bone Broth.
Melissa dives into when was HALE was formed and what led her to start the company. She talks through what HALE stands for and what it means to her. She touches on pivotal moments that led her to create the brand and talks through the HALE production process and how that has shifted or grown over the years. Melissa also talks about how she shifted with the pandemic and what experiences came out of that. We dive into the benefits of adding bone broth to your diet and what Melissa’s favorite ways to enjoy HALE are. We also touch on Melissa’s favorite local restaurants and dishes. She talks to us about being an entrepreneur - the challenges, fun parts and how she juggles it all with family and life.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Canva Pro. Many of you know that my background is in graphic design. I currently still handle all of the design here at The Collective Co. everything from our social media graphics to our outreach templates and website design. But I want to let you in on a new tool that I’ve started using. I almost exclusively now use Canva Pro for all of my design needs. It has made it so easy for me to set up our brand elements and create templates so that when I need something quickly made I can jump right in. Canva pro is filled with pre-designed templates, fonts, graphics and even photographs that all seamlessly come together. It is one of the tools I use at The Collective Co. almost daily and I can’t recommend it enough. As a designer I almost feel like I’m cheating but it is that easy to create beautiful branded elements for your business. Visit this link to get started!
