 Turmeric and Tequila is graceful disruption . We are a community of varsity humans questioning reality as we know it and proving it possible that seemingly opposing things can harmoniously coexist, in this world and within ourselves. It’s all better together. Reality is nothing more than applied meaning, so let’s break though society’s antiquated implied rules and expectations and break into authentic self-expression to see what’s possible for personal, professional, and worldly positive change. Join me and my guests as we share our purpose seeking journeys chasing the pull from within of success, failure, and truth- with self-expression, mental/physical health, entrepreneurship, diversity, and community as the foundations of the mission… we are challenging status quo one gracefully disruptive conversation at a time. You will be inspired to be you and chase the dream, even if it doesn’t make sense to the rest of the world- it will soon. The Mission: To inspire positive radical social evolution. Host: Kristen M.
