Hello, Frickled Foodie fam. Today we are joined by SIF Hater, who is the co-CEO and co-founder of array and all natural wellness and supplement brand that is formulated to work in under an hour, which is honestly pretty rarity in the supplement industry they have two products as of right now, but she teases they are launching a third their products are bloat and calm digestive issues and anxiety are often interlinked. So they have created supplements to

help with that. I really loved getting to know SIF this is the first time meeting I felt like we completely just like hit it off. She also was a podcast host, which is just so awesome to have on as a guest because they just get it. We did a podcast swap so stay tuned for when I am a guest on the dream bigger podcast, but today's episode gets into being like a co-founder in today's world how they created this product what led to the interlinked

interest in wanting to create the product what it's like co-founding a company with your husband because I cannot imagine like the inability to turn off and leave work at the quote unquote office must be so difficult. We also dive in a lot about our personal like histories with digestion and food and how that ties into anxiety and also about the act of manifesting and journaling and how we try to best

navigate our anxiety, I guess, and I really liked her tangible tips when it comes to the act of manifestation and actually something I've shifted in my way of journaling, which we get into. So this episode goes a bunch of different directions, but I really fucking loved the conversation. So I hope you guys do as well without further ado, here is SIF.

Thank you so much for joining us and really excited to chat. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to chat. Well, this is so fun and we were talking about this off mic of like doing a podcast swap with another podcast host and the ability to just like

sit down and know like you just get it, you know, yeah, the conversation flows so easy and you know, it's conversational, which is important. And you know, and this is our first time meeting for listeners, I always like to like give that context. If I'm like, this is my best friend, this is someone I know, this is our first time meeting. So this is our first time meeting, but we were vibing before.

So I'm into it. Agreed. I have so many questions because I think a lot in my like research of you in your company, I do think a lot of stuff overlaps for us in terms of mental health, like how we now style our life, transitions, dealing with digestive health issues. So there's a lot for us to get into for people listening who may not be familiar with array your company.

Can you give us just a little backstory of a what the product actually is, but then be like why and how you founded it because I'm really interested in the latter. I've tried it. I love it, but I'm really curious like what that process was like actually founding a company because to me, that is so daunting.

Okay, so I'll give everyone the whole backstory story, but array is essentially 100% natural targeted supplements that work in under an hour.

We are formulated by a naturopathic doctor and just like the highest quality. And we really wanted to create products, which would help people feel like the best version of themselves. So, you know, we are all familiar with supplements that we take over a long period of time. And they're, you know, helping with longevity and just like you almost notice it when you don't take it.

Yep. If even that, but for us, we really wanted to create solutions to everyday issues that help like that kind of stop people from feeling like the best version of themselves. Right. So our two products that we launched with our bloat and calm and bloat is for all things digestion and calm is for all things anxiety.

And, you know, the reason we chose these two products specifically is because we found that everyone under the sun was either bloated or anxious or both literally every female in the world.

Every female in the world. And interestingly enough, these are two problems that plague women more than men and the two are very closely interlinked.

So we really wanted to ensure that you could take our products on an as needed basis instead of every single day for the rest of your life to see results.

And that you see results quickly because you can't function at your optimum if like these things are like, you know, just digging away at you. And so that's kind of what we wanted to solve for.

And so the story behind like why, like my why behind this company is that I had a very poor immune system for the entirety of my life. I was always that girl in high school who was taking sick days.

They actually like in my high school at one point they called up my parents and they's like threatened basically to suspend me because they thought I was just taking days off for fun.

So I always had like doctors notes always just like quite like very like weak immune system.

And so, you know, I was on this hamster wheel of getting sick antibiotics, getting better doing it all over again over and over and over again.

And in my early 20s, I ended up fracturing a rib from a chronic cough.

And that happens to like, you know, geriatric patients, you know, not someone who's like 22, 23 years old.

And when I went to my doctor, I was prescribed coding, which, you know, like, okay, quick fix fine. I won't cough as like crazily, but what then?
