Elaine Vandiver
Elaine Vandiver is a military veteran turned 1st generation farmer and entrepreneur who operates two complementary agricultural businesses on a historic 1870s homestead in Walla Walla, Washington. At Old Homestead Alpacas, she raises suri alpacas for their luxurious natural fiber, which she transforms into craft yarns and professionally machine-knit garments including hats, scarves, and mittens. She also operates Gholson Gardens, which provides seasonal specialty cut flowers and has become a revenue stream that allowed her to make farming her full-time occupation. In this series of three episodes I'm excited to share Elaine's interesting journey where she encourages you to simply follow the thread.

Kena Siu
Kena Siu is the Empowerment Guide behind the brand & podcast Midlife Butterfly. She specializes in guiding women through life's most challenging transitions—divorce, loss, reinvention, and soul awakening—using trauma-informed coaching that combines meditation, different coaching modalities, somatic awareness, and what she calls 'radical self-love.' Her own journey through multiple countries, languages, marriages, and profound losses led her to create a movement for women who are ready to drop the people-pleasing, heal old patterns, and build lives of freedom and authentic purpose. She describes herself as living in the 'sacred in-between', that transformative space where we're no longer who we once were, but on the threshold of remembering who we truly are. She supports women to embrace their inner Midlife Butterfly and create a life they're truly joyful living.

Victoria Bermeister
Victoria Burmeister is a passionate advocate for healing, empowerment, and living life fully after adversity. At age 19, she survived a devastating car accident that left her paralyzed, an experience that fundamentally transformed her life's trajectory. Rather than allowing this to define her limitations, Victoria defied the odds and dedicated her life to helping others reclaim their joy, sensuality, and strength. Victoria is a co-author of "Still We Rise: Stories of Triumph Over Disabilities and the Strength of Empowerment," a powerful anthology featuring ten resilient voices who share their journeys of transformation and triumph. Additionally, she has an memoir, "Whiplash But Not Broken", coming out in 2026. Through her writing, public speaking, and advocacy for natural wellness, Victoria empowers others to shine from within and rise with grace. Her philosophy centers on the belief that no matter what life throws at you, you are not broken—only becoming.
