Today we say goodbye to Em at Salt + Honey, and I’m not sure I could ever put into words what she has meant to this place—or to me.
Somewhere along the way, our working relationship turned into such a beautiful friendship. Em became someone I could trust deeply. We have talked so rawly about life—our families, our mental health, our struggles, our traumas, our dreams—and I think knowing each other that deeply taught us how to be really gentle with one another. We’ve gotten to cheer each other on through some really beautiful seasons and some really hard ones, and that is something I will always be grateful for.
And then there is what she has given to Salt + Honey.
Her creativity, her insane talent, her passion and the way she has poured herself into this place are woven into so much of what Salt + Honey is today. We truly would not be where we are without her. There are pieces of Em everywhere here, and I think there always will be.
When I think of Em, I think of her creativity. Her compassion. Her huge heart. The way she loves people. What an incredible mom she is. Her ADHD brain that somehow matches mine perfectly. And mostly, I just think about how incredibly thankful I am that this little business brought her into my life.
I’m so proud of her. I’m proud of the way she has handled this transition with so much care and helped set us up for our own next chapter, even while stepping into hers.
Em, I hope you know how deeply you are loved and appreciated here. I hope you know how much of a difference you made. And I hope you know that as you step into whatever comes next, I will be over here cheering you on just as loudly as ever.
Salt + Honey is better because you were here.
And I am better because I know you. Love you.🤍
