Navigating Teen Challenges To Raise Empowered Women with Jill & Mary Ep54

From the Kitchen Table to Multi-Million Dollar Business with Amy Lacey Ep55

Amy Lacey is passionate, driven, faith-filled and laser focused! What once was her challenge has become her triumph growing not one but two health focused brands. You may have heard of Cali’flour Foods, that started at Amy’s kitchen table, growing steadily at farmers markets, and then mainstream retail in just about every major grocery chain. She sold Cali’flour in 2019, making her part of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal. She is now in a new chapter of life, creating a holistic health focused product line around Superfood, Soursop….and she is just getting started. In this episode we dive deep into where it all started and where she is now.

Bio:

Amy Lacey is a serial entrepreneur, innovator, best-selling author, keynote speaker and business mentor. In 2016, after being diagnosed with Lupus, Amy launched Cali’flour Foods and introduced the first cauliflower pizza crust to the market when only a head of cauliflower could be found in grocery stores. The brand took the food industry by storm, going from farmers markets to grocery stores across America, and spearheading what would become a billion dollar industry category. Cali’flour was the number 1 pizza crust sold on Amazon for 16 months straight from 2018-2019. The product won several awards including KeHE Best New Product in 2018 and was featured in Food and Beverage Magazine, OK! Magazine, GQ, Good Housekeeping, as well as one of “Whoopi’s Favorite Things” on The View. The products were also seen at the ESPY, Teen Choice, the Emmys, NY Food Show, as well as many other

traditional food shows. Amy sold the majority of Cali’Flour in late 2019 and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal. Amy is now trailblazing the path towards a brand new innovative health and wellness product with her new company, Beyond Medicine, founded in 2023. This new company is on a mission to highlight one of the world’s greatest superfoods that most people don’t even know exists yet. She is introducing a new category of superfood to the market and paving the way for a new era of self-care and wellbeing that prioritizes the body’s natural ability to be and stay healthy while enhancing the immune system’s armor against disease and illness. Up next alongside Beyond Medicine, Amy continues to collect her vast knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship into courses and programmes that make e-commerce easy for entrepreneurs. Her philanthropic mission includes supporting women founders, and she continues to be incredibly passionate about being involved in non-profit organizations that support children with cancer and

fighting against the sex trade. When she’s not innovating the next industry shaking product, you’ll find Amy at her home in Melbourne, Florida with her husband, her 3 children and their new puppy.

A media veteran, Meaghan began her magazine career at YM as an intern after her college scholarship-winning essay on overcoming adversity garnered the attention of editors.

She dove back into magazines at Cosmopolitan as a senior editor covering sex, relationships, health and wellness. Meaghan’s passion for fitness brought her to SELF in 2005, her home for nine years, first as fitness director then deputy editor. There she produced the magazine’s uber-popular Self Challenge program and appeared in fitness videos with stars such as Jillian Michaels.

Today Meaghan is known for her high-energy, upbeat personality and lifestyle, which she shares regularly with her 33,000+ Instagram followers on @meaghanbmurphy and @theyaylist.
