Join Kimber as she talks with Cammie Hurst, the founder of Two Wild Wallflowers about:

1. Her story of transforming her grief into a business that empowers women going through similar struggles.


2. The pitfalls of comparison


3. Owning our worth as women–inside and outside of the roles we play

Cammie is the founder of Two Wild Wallflowers. When she started her career in the floral industry over 5 years ago, she began to learn about the Language of Flowers and how each flower has a symbolic meaning that can be used to communicate different emotions. After struggling with self worth from an abusive relationship, the language of flowers allowed her to fully bloom into herself.

Flower crowns became how she translated her inner beauty and expressed it outwardly. The Language of Flowers became her stepping stone to remembering who she was.

In January of 2021, her life was upended. She suffered her first miscarriage and fell into a depression unlike any she had experienced in her life. Her storm seemed so deep, it suffocated her.

But even flowers need rain to grow, and through this experience, and through representing her whole family using birth flowers, she has been able to begin healing and bloom again.
