Strive Foods

Fourteen years of STRIVE. And now, it’s time for the next chapter. 💚

I’ve poured so much of myself into this little business over the years, and so many of you have been part of it right alongside me.

STRIVE has reached a crossroads. The way we’ve operated, in this location and in this form, has carried us as far as it can. We’re not closing — but in order to move forward and evolve, we need the right partner.

What that looks like is wide open.

It could be an investor who wants to help fuel what comes next. An operating partner who wants to build alongside us. Someone interested in partial or even full ownership. Or maybe something I haven’t thought of yet.

What STRIVE brings to the table is fourteen years of history, an established brand, recipes and systems we’ve spent years developing, multiple ways we reach our customers — and, above all, an incredibly loyal community that I could never recreate from scratch.

I believe there’s a lot of life left in STRIVE. I also know I can’t take it into its next chapter alone.

So I’m putting this out into the world and seeing where it goes.

If this speaks to you, or if someone immediately comes to mind, please send me a DM. Serious conversations will, of course, remain confidential.

And if you love STRIVE but partnership isn’t your lane, you can still help: please share this. You never know who might be one connection away from exactly what we’re looking for.

Here’s to staying open to what’s possible. 💚

SHE. IS. AN. IRONMAN. 🩵💚

On Sunday, Lauren completed her FIRST FULL IRONMAN — 140.6 miles in Chattanooga. 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Months and months of training. Long, very late nights. Long rides, long runs, endless hurdles — and boatloads of doubt coming from all around her. But despite it all, and maybe even in spite of it, this girl kept showing up. Her determination, grit, heart and faith prevailed — and on Sunday, they reigned. ❤️

And today she came into STRIVE with the medals and ALL the IRONMAN loot in tow. 🥹🏅

Later at the gym, we got to share it all with Tisha — our friend, mentor and a pretty incredible triathlete herself. She’s done plenty of 70.3s and full IRONMANs, so her advice comes from actually being out there and doing it. Between that, her endless encouragement and those killer classes that have made us both stronger, she’s been such a big part of this journey. ❤️

And a huge shoutout to Lauren’s coach, Stephanie, who absolutely belongs in this story. She believed in Lauren, stood behind her and helped guide her all the way to that finish line. Sometimes having that one person who truly believes you can do it makes all the difference. ❤️

And we ended the day back at STRIVE with Elizabeth popping in with a whole spread of food for us to share — turning it into the sweetest little impromptu celebration for our newest IRONMAN. 🥰

Lauren has been such a huge part of STRIVE for so long, and we could not be prouder of her.

2.4 mile swim.
112 mile bike.

Lauren, YOU DID THE FREAKING THING.

YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!!! 🏅🔥

We love you and are so incredibly proud of you. 🩵💚
