Nicole Davis - The Journey of Co-Founding Native Cold Pressed and The Joy of Embracing the Unexpected

Staying Conscious with Meg & Aly

This week we are chatting with the lovely Nicole Davis, co-founder of Native Cold Pressed in Columbus, Ohio. We absolutely adore Nicole and loved this conversation. In this episode, we chat about how Native got started through Nicole’s journey of yoga, an eating disorder, traveling to Thailand, nutrition, juice, manifestation, and her faith in God. Nicole tells us about how she found a home in Columbus and why she decided to stay instead of trying to start a health food store in an oversaturated area like California. She tells us about meeting her business partner Erin and how they both had a vision for opening up a health food store in the Short North. We talk about the challenges of opening up a business, especially opening two shops in one year. Nicole describes her vision for Native as a “home away from home” for health and nutrition and they hope that you feel better walking out, than you did when you walked in. We of course chat about marriage and she tells us about the whirlwind experience of meeting her husband and starting a family. We end this conversation talking about her new venture with Doterra essential oils and how creating daily practices and rituals can transform your life. Also, we remembered a very important question we wanted to ask Nicole after we had stopped recording, so make sure you listen all the way to the end, past the outro to hear her answer!
