Kristen Ley is an entrepreneur, artist, and consultant. She owns Thimblepress, a stationery and gift boutique that's done collaborations with major brands like Target, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and more. Her company grew extremely fast, even having products featured on Oprah and Good Morning America. A few years ago, Kristen started to experience burnout and began looking for ways to step back from the hustle. She began exploring a cleaner lifestyle, looking more intentionally at the foods she was consuming and the products she was using in her home. Since then, she's closed the Thimblepress storefront and adopted a slower, cleaner lifestyle, which she says has done wonders for her health and well-being. This was an inspiring and educational conversation that we can all learn from. Here's Moore on That with Kristen Ley!
