Melba Seto has spent years taking steps toward her dream of opening a pottery studio, and along the way created a business that brings adventure and community together. Melba created Calgary's Famous Adventure Soap, Bowness Soapworks, in 2021. She shares with us how her adventures outdoors inspire every single one of her soaps. Woven into each bar are landscapes, foraged ingredients, and stories. We speak about the importance of community in everything we do, and how it adds incredible value to our work. There is also plenty of banter about tenacity, crying and trying, and Vegemite.  You can follow Melba on instagram @melba_seto and her incredible adventure soap company @bownesssoapworks Listen to Melba's podcast Clothing Optional Big thanks to our sponsors for this episode and series 3 of the Mum's Gone Climbing Podcast.
