About this listen

Welcome back to Women of Influence — I’m JaLynn Manser, and today I’m thrilled to host Suzette Smith, AKA the Garden Goddess, founder of Pick Up The Beat (GG Ferments). Suzette started out as a southern foodie passionate about gut health and turned necessity and curiosity into a thriving food-manufacturing business that’s changing lives — one fermented jar at a time.

In this episode we cover:

  • How a fascination with fermented foods led Suzette from supplements to sauerkraut and beet kvass.
  • The practical gut-health benefits of fermentation and why fermented veggies trump shelf-stable “pickles.”
  • Building a business from farmer’s markets to retail shelves and Amazon — the hustle, the learning, and the triumphs.
  • Real-life advice for eating intentionally, cooking simply, and using food as medicine on a budget.
  • Heartfelt customer stories that remind Suzette why she keeps going.

If you’re curious about fermented foods, starting a small food brand, or want simple, actionable tips to improve digestion and wellbeing through real food — hit play. Follow Suzette (links in the show notes), try Pick Up The Beat, and let food be your medicine.
