Evelyn Streeter shares her journey from taking over her mother's flower shop to considering selling her own business.

In today's BB Podcast episode (No. 143), we're visiting with Evelyn Streeter, founder and owner of Eve Floral Co in Cincinnati, Ohio. Our conversation follows Evelyn's deeply personal and inspiring journey as a florist who grew up in the middle of the hum of her mother's small-town flower shop in Michigan. What began as a family trade became both a lifeline and a legacy when Evelyn unexpectedly took over the business after her mother's passing. Years later, she built her own thriving floral company in Cincinnati—complete with a studio, retail space, and loyal community. But now, standing at a crossroads, Evelyn is considering something few florists ever talk about: selling her business.

Join us as we chat with Evelyn about: Her family roots in Detroit and the flower shop that shaped her path Taking over her late mother's shop as a young college student and learning business by survival The emotional and financial realities of running a business solo What it's really like to consider selling your flower…
