My Story

From scrubs to soil to CEO

"I'm not a guru. I'm just a few steps ahead — and I'm leaving the trail markers."

I'm Tabatha — nurse, MBA, homeschool mom of four, farm wife, and founder of a brand new industry in my small community. I spent 15 years in healthcare, led multidisciplinary teams, and managed quality systems across hospitals and primary care settings.

Then I came back from maternity leave — after adopting our fourth child — to find out my job no longer existed.

So I did what capable women do. I pivoted hard.

I built a residential waste management company from scratch in a county that didn't have one. I leaned into our family farm. I homeschooled my kids through the chaos. And somewhere in all of it, I realized I had something worth sharing.

Rooted & Running is for the woman who is done waiting for permission. The one who wants to build something real — a business, a homeschool, a life on her own terms — without buying into someone else's system.

Three pillars. One mission.
