Amanda Lemay | she/her

A writer, a baker, and audio-maker, Amanda is on a quest to redefine what it means to live a good life. From her tiny home on wheels, a self-converted ambulance, she travels to learn how others are living more simple, intentional lives in close alignment with the earth, each other and their own hearts.

Amanda feels most at home when immersed in nature, whether barefoot in a garden, scrambling up a mountain or getting tossed by salty waves.

Ruth McGee | she/her

Ruth is living in Wisconsin and trying to appreciate any weather that comes her way. While winding down her career as a chemist testing drinking water, Ruth started making the rounds at open mics to line up an audience for when co-workers would not be available on which to inflict her humor.
