It may only be April, but we’ve had quite a lot of AMAZING our path stories already in 2025! We are heading into spring break reflecting on the lessons learned from our guests so far.

Anastasia Barr-Whiteman explained how a small town staple can turn into a big opportunity with Pretzels Plus – and how best to keep that dream going when you work with your husband!

Crystal Smith & Shelby Turbin shared how their long-term friendship and mutual interest in martial arts developed into a unique workout experience, with Twisted Fitness.

Bethany Carolus told us about her journey with cleaning and how it had always been a source of steady income – why not turn it into a full business with Swift Shine Cleaning?

Stephanie Jurik provided us with a few of her most interesting organization tales and shared how she is expanding into concierge services with Organize by Nature.

Stephanie Samolovitch told us of her bravery, beating cancer at a young age, and how it inspired the formation of Young Adult Survivors United, where she provides supportive services for young adults across Pittsburgh.

And Sarah McDavis of Wonder Creek Media showed us how multiple interests could manifest into an entrepreneurial venture, as she provides books, illustrations, and yoga to children, to name a few!

Stay tuned to more interviews this season with amazing local women!
