Bio<\/h4>\n

Meet Savanna Mehrad, the passionate businesswoman behind femme wares. From a young age, Savanna has been a supporter of shopping local and supporting community artisans. Savanna grew up in beautiful Prince Edward County, a hub for artists in Southern Ontario. As a young girl, she would spend hours in the locally owned shops of her hometown, Bloomfield, browsing the wares, chatting for hours with the owners and even selling her own handmade friendship bracelets at the ripe age of 8. Did we mention entrepreneurship runs deep in her blood?<\/p>\n

Many have said that Savanna’s superpower is connecting women and we couldn’t agree more! Savanna’s career highlights includes over a decade working in post-secondary education, building an online food blog, being published in a cookbook and empowering women to build their own businesses!<\/p>\n

Fiercely passionate about women in business, Savanna is also the founder of Chomp Supply Inc. A leading silicone teething & craft supply retailer in North America. Savanna helps women worldwide to realize their crafting business dreams, providing them with safe, high-quality products and a supportive and inclusive community via the Chomp Supply social media platforms and the Chomp Maker Community group on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Savanna holds a college diploma in Business Sales & Marketing from Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario and a Bachelor of Arts from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. She is the proud mama of two little girls, the proud wife to an engineering nerd and a proud lover of coffee and chocolate.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tAbout this episode\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

Sometimes the Universe just plunks someone in your lap and you have no choice but to pay attention to who they are and what they are doing. This is what happened for me with Savanna Mehrad. Our paths were absolutely destined to cross. I have been following Savanna\u2019s journey for the past 6 months and it has been one wild ride. In that time, she has created a space (Femmewares) for female founders of small businesses to sell their products, she has held vendor calls, selected vendors held a (highly successful) grand opening \u2013 and, most impressively, she showed her resilience by pivoting in the wake of COVID-19, just weeks after she opened her doors. I have been watching in awe! On today\u2019s episode of the podcast, we discuss a lot; self-care, mental health, entrepreneurship, motherhood, women supporting women \u2013 the list goes on! We touched on so many important topics that I actually really struggled to name this episode. All I can say is if you have a little ping in your soul that you want to build or create something, listen to this episode and Savanna\u2019s story to feel supported, validated and ignited.<\/p>\n\t\t
