It doesn’t sound all-consuming, yet where do the days go? On the side, Samantha Fisher designs sock animals and t-shirts, does graphic design, and is helping a friend launch her wellness coaching business. She sings in an old-timey band and directs a couple of plays a year. She goes on a lot of road trips, and she tries to be a good listener. Oh and once a month, she runs a fundraising dinner delivery in Seattle called TABLE: Take Action, Bake Love Eat. More info at www.eatbakelove.org or follow @samantix on Instagram.
