This week, Joy chats with Kate Taylor Martin, founder of nutbar, the world’s first superfood cafe. While studying nutrition at the institute of holistic nutrition, Kate began to dream up a concept for a healthy cafe in Toronto–one which would replace the typical coffee shop fare of muffins, donuts and croissants with alternatives that were still delicious but also good for you. She built nutbar around a holistic approach to health and the basic foundation of focusing on real, whole food.   In this episode Kate shares how she was inspired to create a community space that served nourishing, whole foods to busy people on-the-go so they can truly thrive. She gets vulnerable about what it’s like being a full-time entrepreneur and mom to three small children and the challenges of both. You’ll love her practical tips for developing non-negotiable healthy living routines!   If you want to learn more about building your life’s vision and living a life you’re proud of, then you won’t want to miss this episode. So settle in with a cozy cuppa tea and get ready to be inspired to follow your dreams!   Episode Highlights: Kate’s wellness journey and how Joy inspired her to apply to IHN!
