Tell us a little about you! 

Hi! My name is Faith, but I am better known as faithsfresh on IG & TikTok. I create super easy gluten and dairy free recipes. I am from Houston, Texas but now live in Salt Lake City. I like to cook, love to eat, and am obsessed with all things nut butter. 

What was the inspiration for Brownie Batter? 

I was inspired to co-create brownie batter with Ground Up because I am a sucker for a sweet treat, and brownie batter is exactly that to me. I also have been obsessed with brownie batter oats for YEARS and have constantly posted them to my story literally since like 2020. It just made sense, and the flavor is so insane and perfect and came out exactly how I imagined it would. 

What do you do for work? Tell us about your professional journey. 

I am a full time food content creator! I create recipes for TikTok, IG, and YouTube. I used to work as a RBT for children and adults with autism. After doing that for about 5 years, I quit my job at the end of 2019 and then COVID happened about a month later. I was unemployed for about 8 months, and in that time I was constantly posting recipes across social media. Fast forward to now, and I have been doing it full time for about 3 or 4 years! 

How do you stay motivated? 

My motivation for doing literally everything is just getting it over with. There are a few non-negotiables in my day that I tell myself I have to do, and I love being able to just lay on the couch and rot when I am done with everything. It also feels really satisfying to lay down each night knowing I got everything done that I needed to. 

Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in starting a business/blog? 

Be consistent!! That is truly the key to success (In my opinion and experience) and seems to be for a lot of other creators I’ve seen grow. I also think being yourself and showing your personality helps a ton. It helps you build a community who loves you for you. 

What are your favorite ways to #spreadgood in your community? 

My favorite way to #spreadgood is to always be kind to everyone I come into contact with, picking up litter whenever I see it, taking part in community events, and taking up volunteer opportunities when I can. 

Who is one person who inspires you and why? 

There are so many people who inspire me, predominantly women. I love seeing successful women in any field/any place, and using them as motivation to become one myself. 

How do you work to stay centered and practice self-care in your busy day-to-day reality? 

Being around my husband really helps to center me. He’s always so kind, motivating, and encourages me to always be my best self. If I am ever feeling stressed, he’s also really good at making me feel calm and safe. My favorite way to practice self-care is my daily matcha. It’s my favorite part of my day and always gives me something to look forward to! 

What do you like to do for fun, when you aren't working? 

I love to go on walks with my husband, Thomas. I also like working out at the gym, painting, reading, and scrolling on TikTok (unfortunately lolol).

What are some of your favorite recipes with Ground Up? 

I am obsessed with brownie batter oats topped with brownie batter nut butter. I also just recently bought a Ninja Creami and have been loving making homemade brownie batter ice cream.
