We are Anne Kingston and Von denMeer and welcome to our podcast! It's Episode SIX and we have another guest with an interesting pivot history and another unusual career. 

Joanie Homrich, food stylist and owner of Smashing Plate Food Styling, joins us to tell us how she went from crunching numbers to spending her time finding the prettiest nuts and creating epic cheese pulls for pizza commercials you have definitely seen. Her work is truly art and science and you can check it out at www.thesmashingplate.com.

Work brought us together, writing bonded us for life, but we also found that we shared a lot of similar beliefs about life and moving toward where you really want to be. We started talking about pivots and the podcast idea came from that. We wanted to share our experiences on making pivotal choices in our lives and those other times the Universe made the choices for us and how we survived (and thrived). We focus on resilience and we invite people with interesting and inspiring pivot stories to come on and share with us and our audience. Want to share you're story? Reach out!
